OBJECTIVES:
recall the process on solving
measures of position for grouped
data;
solve problems involving measures
of position for grouped data; and
interpret the result.
Lesson 2 :
Solving Problems Involving
Measures of Position for
Grouped Data
 Presentation:
Quantiles are measures of position that divide a distribution into four,
ten, and hundred equal parts. Such measures of position are quartiles,
deciles, and percentiles.

Recall that quartiles divide the distribution into four equal parts.
Deciles are those values that divide the total frequency into 10
equal parts and percentile of grouped data is used to characterize
values according to the percentage below them.
The kth quartile, denoted by Qk, is computed as
follows:
The kth decile, denoted by Dk, is computed as follows:
And the kth percentile, denoted by Pk, is computed as follows:
Quartile for Grouped Data
• Example: Suppose we have the following data on the scores of 62
Grade 10 students in English arrange in a frequency distribution with a
class interval size of 5 as shown below:

Class Interval Frequency Cumulative Frequency Lower Boundaries

40 － 49 5 62 39.5
35 － 39 7 57 34.5
30 － 34 8 50 29.5
25 － 29 10 42 24.5
20 － 24 15 32 19.5
15 － 19 12 17 14.5
10 － 14 5 5 9.5

Total: n=62
Calculate the first quartile (Q1).
Use the formula in solving the quartiles of grouped data.
Solving for Q1
Solution:
 Decile for Grouped Data
The kth decile for grouped data denoted by Dk is computed
as follows:
 Example:
The frequency distribution below shows the summative test
results in Mathematics of 40 students. Determine D6.

Class Interval Frequency Cf Lower Boundaries

55 － 59 5 40 54.5
50 － 54 5 35 49.5
45 － 49 9 30 44.5
40 － 44 8 21 39.5
35 － 39 7 13 34.5
30 － 34 6 6 29.5

Solution:
Percentile for Grouped Data
The percentile of grouped data is used to characterize values
according to the percentage below them.

Finding the percentiles of a grouped data is just like that

of finding quartiles and deciles of a grouped data.
The kth percentile, denoted by Pk, is computed as
follows:
 Example:
Determine the 60th percentile of the Mathematics test
scores of 50 students.
Scores Frequency
46 － 50 4
41 － 45 8
36 － 40 11
31 － 35 9
26 － 30 12
21 － 25 6
