Activity Title: Quartile (Grouped Data)
Learning Target: Calculates a specified measure of position of a set of data.
References: Learners Module

Formula:

( )
kN
−cf b
4
Qk =LB+ i
f Qk

Where: LB = lower boundary of the Qk class

N = total frequency
Cf b=¿ cumulative frequency of the class before the Qk class
i=¿size of the class interval
k =¿nth quartile, where n = 1, 2 and 3
Exercise: Use the frequency distribution below, complete the table and calculate.
Class Interval Frequency Lower Boundaries < cumulative
(f) (LB) frequency (<cf)
100 – 109 5
90 – 99 3
80 – 89 10
70 – 79 7
60 – 69 4
50 – 59 6
40 – 49 8
30 – 39 4
20 – 29 1
10 – 19 2

Calculate the following.

1. First Quartile
2. Second Quartile
3. Third Quartile
