Good morning class!

Good morning sir!

B. Review of the Past Lesson

Last time we discussed about the
measures of position of ungrouped
data specifically the quartiles and
deciles, didn’t we?
Yes, sir!

When we say ungrouped data, what

does it mean?
The number of data or the data we have is
less than or equal to 30 that is n≤30.
Great!
To test if you still remember our past
lessons, let’s have a quick review. I
have here a chart entitled “Match Me!”,
all you have to do is to match column
A to column B. To check if your
answer is correct, we’ll reveal the color
by pulling the cover of the choices in
column B and if the revealed color
reflects the color in column A then your
answer is correct. Is that clear?
Yes, sir!

Okay, Let’s start!

Column A Column B
Measures of Q2 and D5
Position k(n+1)/4
Decile 5th Decile
Median is equal k(n+1)/10
to____

1
 Q2 is the same Divide a data into
with___. equal parts
Quartile

Very good! It seems that you

remembered so much and mastered
our past lesson.
(Students will do the activity actively.)

C. Motivation
So before we start with our new topic
today, I want you to get the paper
under your arm chair then group
yourselves according to what color you
have and go to your respective areas.
(Students will group themselves.)
Are you familiar with the mobile game
app “4 Pics 1 Word”, aren’t you?
Yes sir!
I will show you set of pictures and
guess what one word best describes
the four pictures. Let’s start!
(Students will guess the picture.)

EQUAL, DIVIDE

MEASURE, POSITION

PARTS, HUNDRED

Did you enjoy 4 Pics 1 Word, didn’t

you?
Yes sir!
Based from the activity you did, what
do you think our lesson for today?
I think our lesson for today is Percentile,
Sir!

D. Discussion
Exactly! Our lesson for today is all
about Percentile of Ungrouped data.

So what comes first into your mind

when you hear the word Percentile?
Percentile is a measure of position that
divides a data or distribution into 100 equal
parts.
Exactly!

2
If quartile divides a distribution into 4
equal parts and decile divides a
distribution into (10) equal parts then
our percentile divides a distribution
into one hundred (100) equal parts.

And in solving percentile, it is very

much same with how we compute
quartiles and deciles during our past
lessons. I have here clouds indicating
the process on how to compute
measures of position. Who among you
can arrange the clouds?

(Students will arrange the cloud process.)

Determine the
Arrange the position of the
data from using the
lowest to formula
highest

Interpret the
Interpolate if
results
necessary

Good job!
What’s the steps in cloud process?
(Students will read the arranged steps of
the cloud process.)
Now, if quartile has 3 points and decile
has 9 points, then how many score
points are there in percentile so that it
will divide a data into 100?
If we divide our data into 100 equal parts
then there are 99 points, sir!

Definitely!

The percentile determine the value

1%, 2%,…,97%, 98% and 99% of the
data. For instance P30 or 30th
percentile of the data means 30% of
the data have less than or equal to
P30. As you can see on the diagram.
Am I making myself clear with that?
Yes, sir!
And we denote those score points as
P1, P2, P3,…P97, P98, P99. Meaning there
are 99 formulas to solve for percentile
and it sounds ridiculous.
Yes, sir!

3
And here are some of the formulas we
use in solving percentiles:
1
𝑃1 = (𝑛 + 1)
100
2
𝑃2 = (𝑛 + 1)
100
3
𝑃3 = (𝑛 + 1)
100
.
.
.
97
𝑃97 = (𝑛 + 1)
100
98
𝑃98 = (𝑛 + 1)
100
99
𝑃99 = (𝑛 + 1)
100

I know I am not the only one who

hates memorizing many formulas. So,
as much as possible we contract our
formulas into single one so that it
would be a lot easier for us.

Yes sir!
Based on some of the formulas we
have in solving percentiles, what did
you observe?

I observed that the subscript of P is the

same with the numerator of the fractional
part of the formula.
Brilliant idea!
Would you mind to elaborate it more?

For example, the formula for P3 is

3
(𝑛 + 1), the subscript of P which is 3 is
100
also the numerator of the fractional part of
the formula.
Very well said!
So we might replace the subscript of
our formula into some variable, let’s
say k then what is the general
formula?

𝑘
𝑃𝑘 = 100 (𝑛 + 1),
where k = 1, 2, 3,…, 97, 98, 99 and
Very good! n is the number of data
To understand better what percentile
really means, let’s have an 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, 28.

4
Before we proceed to find the 30th
percentile, remember our cloud
process. What’s the first step in
solving?
Arrange the data (scores) from lowest to
highest.
Great!
Who among you can arrange the data?

(Students will arrange the data.)

15 18 20 23 28 28 33 35 40 42
Thank you!
Let’s now solve our P30 using our
𝑘
formula 𝑃𝑘 = 100 (𝑛 + 1). What is our
k?
Our k is 30.
How about our n?
n is the number of data, therefore our n is
10.
Precisely!
Let’s substitute everything to our
general formula.
30
𝑃30 = (𝑛 + 1)
100
30
= (10 + 1)
100
30
= (11)
100
330
=
100
=3.3rd
Our computed P30 is 3.3 but remember
it is not the 30th percentile, rather it is
the position where our P30 is found in
the data. Therefore our P30 is in the
3.3rd element of the data? But we do
not have such data that it is in 3.3rd, am
I right?
Yes, sir!

If we computed decimal in our

percentile, what approach is
appropriate?
We do the linear interpolation.

Exactly!
Since you already have knowledge
about interpolation from our previous
topics. The first step in linear
interpolation is that we need to
determine what score that it is in the
whole number of 3.3. What’s the 3rd
data?
Based on the data presented, our 3rd data
is 20.
You got it!
Since our 3.3rd data is found between
the 3rd and the 4th data. Second, we
take the difference of the 4th and the 3rd

5
multiplied by the decimal part obtained
in the formula. That is (23-
20)(0.3)=0.9.

And lastly, we add the results of the

first and second steps. What is now our
P30?
Our P30 is 20.9 that is 20+0.09

So our P30 is 20.9, meaning that 30%

of the test scores of the students is less
than or equal to 20.9. Is that clear
class?
Yes, sir!

Let’s take another example.

Still the data we have in our first
example, find the 50th percentile (P50)
and the 70th percentile (P70).
(Students will solve for P50 and P70.)

Who among you can solve for the P50

and P70 on the board?
(Students will solve for P50 and P70 on the
board.)
Thank you very much!
Who wants to interpret P50? How about
P70?
(Students will interpret P50 and P70.)
P50 =28, this means that 50% of the
scores is less than or equal to 28.
P70 =34.4, this means that 70% of the
students score is less than or equal to
34.4.

Great!
Very good! Is it clear?
Yes, sir!

We take another example.

(The teacher will post other example.)

The scores of Kaya Natin Movement in

a debate competition coming from the
seven judges were recorded as
follows:
8.45, 9.20, 8.56, 9.13, 8.67, 8.85 and
9.17
a) find the 60th percentile (P60) of
the judges scores.
b) What is the P35 of the judges’
scores?
(Students will solve for P60 and P35 and
also interpret the results.)

Amazing!
Did you understand percentile now?
Yes sir!

6
 Class, do you have any question or
point of clarifications before we
proceed to our next activity?
Nothing, sir!

 (The students will present their outputs.)

Brilliant!

Give yourselves a power clap for a job

well done!

F. Generalization
Do you understand our lesson for
today class, don’t you?
Yes sir!

What is percentile again?

Percentile is a measure of position that

divides a data into 100 equal parts.

Excellent!
It is also the 99 score points that divide
a data into 100 equal parts.
What formula will be used in solving
percentile again?
𝑘
𝑃𝑘 = (𝑛 + 1),
100
where k = 1, 2,3,…,97,98,99 and n
is the number of data
Excellent!

G. Values Infusion
Class, we discussed about measures of
position specifically the percentile. We
can associate percentile to percent. In
connection to our lives, it’s necessary
to dream of who we become in the
future. What ambition do you have in
your life? And if you are going to rate
yourself, how many percent you are
guaranteed to be who you want to be?

(Students may or may not give their

insights regarding on the questions.)
Thank you for sharing!
