MEASURES

OF
POSITION
(UNGROUPED
DATA)
 IT IS A
NUMBER
THAT
TELLS
WHERE THE
SCORE
STANDS
RELATIVE
TO OTHERS
IN A SET OF
DATA.
 IT CAN BE
APPLIED TO
ORDINAL
VARIABLES.
THE 3
MEASURES
OF POSITION
QUARTILE
DECILE
PERCENTILE

QUARTILE
THE
QUARTILES
ARE THE
SCORE POINTS
WHICH DIVIDE
A DISTRIBUTION
INTO 4 EQUAL
PARTS.
 Q1 is called the lower quartile
 Q2 is nothing but the median
THE
 Q3 is the upper quartile

DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN Q3
AND Q1 IS THE
INTERQUARTILE
RANGE.
FORMULA:
k
Qk = (n+1)

EXAMPLE#1
4
Find the Q1,
Q2 and Q3 of
the given
numbers:
13, 9, 18,
15, 14, 21,
7, 10, 11,
20, 5, 18,
37, 16, 17
EXAMPLE#3
FIND THE Q1
AND Q3,
GIVEN THE
SCORES OF 9
STUDENTS IN
THEIR
MATHEMATIC
S ACTIVITY
USING
LINEAR
INTERPOLATION.
1, 27, 16,
7, 31, 7,
30, 3, 21
EXAMPLE#2
SOLVE FOR Q1
AND Q3 USING
MENDENHALL
AND SINCICH
METHOD
{1, 3 , 7, 7, 16 ,
21, 27, 30 , 31}
ACTIVITY#1
Find the Q1,
Q2 and Q3
of the data.
The number
of days
taken by
each of 11
employees to
finish a job
were 32 39
27 23 42 35
42 29 46 37
42
MENDENHALL
AND SINCICH
METHOD
RULES:
LOWER
QUARTILE (L)
= POSITION OF
1
Q1= (n+1)
4
AND ROUND
TO THE
NEAREST
INTEGER. IF L
FALLS
HALFWAY
BETWEEN
TWO
INTEGERS,
ROUND UP.
NEXT
CALCULATE:
UPPER
QUARTILE (U)
= POSITION OF
3
Q3= (n+1)
4
AND ROUND
TO THE
NEAREST
INTEGER. IF U
FALLS
HALFWAY
BETWEEN
TWO
INTEGERS,
ROUND DOWN.
STEPS IN
SOLVING LINEAR
OF
INTERPOLATION
DECILE
 THE
DECILES
ARE THE
NINE SCORE
POINTS
WHICH
DIVIDE THE
DISTRIBUTION
INTO TEN
EQUAL
PARTS.
 EXAMPLE#1
FIND THE D3
AND D8 OF THE
FOLLOWING
TEST SCORES
OF A RANDOM
SAMPLE OF TEN
STUDENTS: 15,
18, 20, 23, 28,
28, 33, 35,40, 42
PERCENTILE
 THE
PERCENTILES
ARE THE
NINETY-NINE
SCORE POINTS
WHICH DIVIDE
A
DISTRIBUTION
INTO ONE
HUNDRED
EQUAL PARTS,
SO THAT EACH
PART
REPRESENTS
THE DATA SET.
EXAMPLE#1
FIND THE 30TH
PERCENTILE OR
P30 OF THE
FOLLOWING
TEST SCORES
OF A RANDOM
SAMPLE OF TEN
STUDENTS: 35,
42, 40, 28, 15,
23, 33, 20, 18,
AND 28.
ACTIVITY#2
TH
FIND THE 6
DECILE (D6)
RD
AND 3
DECILE (D3)
GIVEN THE
SCORES OF 10
STUDENTS IN
THEIR QUIZ.
10, 44, 50, 20,
25, 36, 31, 15,
18, 43
ACTIVITY#3
THE TEST
SCORE
SAMPLE OF 15
STUDENTS IN
A CLASS ARE
AS FOLLOWS:
{20, 25, 21, 19,
15, 10, 27, 30,
31, 35, 33, 37,
40, 42, 45}
FIND P32, P65,
P80
