    A Measure of position determines the

    position of a single value in relation to


    other values in a sample or a
    population data set.

    QUARTILE
    DECILE
    PERCENTILE
    QUARTILE
    The quartiles are the score points
    which divide a distribution into four
    equal parts

    Q1 Q2 Q3
    QUARTILE rules
    To compute:
    Q1 (lower quartile) = 0.25 (n+1)
     If lower quartile (Q1) falls halfway between
    two integers, ROUND UP the answer.
    Q2 (middle quartile) = 0.5 (n+1)

    Q3 (upper quartile) = 0.75 (n+1)


     If upper quartile (Q3) falls halfway between
    two integers, ROUND DOWN the answer.
    Example #1:
    Find the quartiles
    (Q1, Q2, and Q3) of the
    scores of 7 students in
    their 20 – item Math
    Quiz, given the data set;
    4, 8, 12, 15, 2, 7, 20, 5, 9,
    18, 16, 6, 10.
    Solution:
    2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,15,16,18,20 n =13
    Q1 (lower quartile) Q1 (lower quartile)
    = 0.25 (n+1) = 0.75 (n+1)
    = 0.25 (13+1) = 0.75 (13+1)
    = 0.25 (14) Q2 (middle quartile) = 0.75 (14)
    = 3.5 = 0.5 (n+1) = 10.5
    =4 = 0.5 (13+1) = 10
    = 0.5 (14)
    Q1= 6 =7 Q3= 15
    Q2= 9
    Example #2:
    What is the value of
    the upper quartile (Q3)
    in the following set of
    data;
    19, 20, 22, 23, 28, 30,
    39, 43, 45, 48, 49, 50
    Example #3:
    What is the value of
    the middle quartile
    (Q2) in the following
    set of data;
    19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24,
    27, 28, 30.
    Example #4:
    What is the value of
    the lower quartile (Q1)
    in the following set of
    data;
    9, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21,
    23, 26, 29, 30.
    DECILE
    The deciles are the values that divide
    into ten equal parts.

    𝒌
    𝑫𝒌 = (𝒏 + 𝟏)
    𝟏𝟎
    Example #1:
    A researcher collects
    data on the number of
    siblings of SHS
    students in ISAP, and
    his study yields the
    following;
    3, 1, 6, 4, 10, 9, 3, 9, 5,
    4, 2, 7, 8. Find D3, D6,
    D8.
    Solution:
    1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10 n =13
    𝑫𝟑 𝑫𝟔 𝑫𝟖
    𝟑 𝟔
    𝑫𝟑 = (𝟏𝟑 + 𝟏) 𝑫𝟔 = (𝟏𝟑 + 𝟏) 𝟖
    𝟏𝟎 𝟏𝟎 𝑫𝟖 = (𝟏𝟑 + 𝟏)
    𝟏𝟎
    𝟑 𝟔
    𝑫𝟑 = (𝟏𝟒) 𝑫𝟔 = (𝟏𝟒) 𝟖
    𝟏𝟎 𝟏𝟎 𝑫𝟖 = (𝟏𝟒)
    𝟏𝟎
    𝑫𝟑 = 4.2 or 4 𝑫𝟑 = 8.4 or 8 𝑫𝟑 = 11.2 or 11

    𝑫𝟑 = 3 𝑫𝟔 = 6 𝑫𝟖 = 9
    Example #2:
    The following are the ages
    of Mathematics Professors
    at Cagayan State University
    Caritan Campus;
    25, 27, 29, 30, 35, 37, 42, 43,
    45, 47, 50. At what ages
    does the 3rd decile will fall?
    Example #3:
    The heights in centimeters
    of selected 1st year
    BSED/BPED students in
    ISAP are as follows;
    150, 153, 159, 162, 169, 170,
    175, 180. Which of the
    following is the 6th decile?
    PERCENTILE
    Percentiles are the values that divide
    into 100 equal parts.

    To compute the position of percentiles,


    use the formula.

    𝒌
    𝑷𝒌 = (𝒏 + 𝟏)
    𝟏𝟎𝟎
    Example #1:
    The following are
    scores in MMW test:
    2, 3, 18, 20, 6, 5, 15,
    12, 10, 8. Find the
    value corresponding
    to the 34th percentile.
    Solution:
    2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20 n =10

    𝟑𝟒
    𝑷𝟑𝟒 = (𝟏𝟎 + 𝟏)
    𝟏𝟎𝟎

    𝟑𝟒
    𝑷𝟑𝟒 = (𝟏𝟏)
    𝟏𝟎𝟎

    𝑷𝟑𝟒 = 3.74 or 4 𝑷𝟑𝟒 = 6


    Example #2:
    In the set of scores,
    14, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25,
    29, 32, and 35, which
    of the following is the
    median score of 50th
    percentile (P50)?
    EXAMPLE:
    Mhia says the entrance exam of CSU
    is so difficult. There were 500 test
    takers including her. Her score is 60
    out of 80. her score belong to the 1st
    quartile. Would you agree with Mhia
    that test is difficult?
    EXAMPLE:
    Mr. Medina gave a test to his students.
    Erwin finished their test in 40 minutes.
    This time is the 2nd Decile of the allotted
    time. What does this mean
    EXAMPLE:
    Jenny is a secretary in one big company in
    Imus Cavite. Her salary is 40,000 pesos
    and in the 7th Decile. Should Jenny be glad
    about her salary or not?
    EXAMPLE:
    Twenty five scores in a mathematics test
    were recorded and the 76 was the 50th
    percentile. Only one student got a score of
    76.
