What I am
expected to learn
In this lesson, you will be able to:
1. illustrates the following measures of position: quartiles, deciles and percentiles.
2. calculates a specified measure of position (e.g. 90th percentile) of a set of data.
3. interprets measures of position.
4. solves problems involving measures of position.

Let us learn
together

Quantiles are points in a distribution that relate to the rank order of values in that distribution.
It defines a particular how many values in a distribution are above or below a certain limit. Special
quantiles are the quartile (quarter), the decile (tenth) and percentiles (hundredth).

Quartiles are points that divide a ranked data into four equal parts. Each set of data has three
quartiles.
1. First quartile (Q1) is a number such that at most one – fourth or 25% of the data are smaller
in value than Q1, and at most three – fourth or 75% are larger. Q 1 is sometimes called the lower
quartile.
2. Second quartile (Q2) is a number such that one – half or 50% of the data are below or above
in value than Q2. Q2 is obviously the median. Hence, the former name is seldom used.
3. Third Quartile (Q3) is a number such that at most three – fourth or 75% of the data are
smaller in value than Q3, and at most one – fourth or 25% are larger. Q 3 is sometimes called the
upper quartile.
Quartiles can be represented by the diagram below when the given data is arranged in increasing
order

Example.
For each table, find Q1, Q2, and Q3.
Daily Wages Frequency

326 – 350 5
351 – 375 8
376 – 400 9
401 – 425 12
426 - 450 3

Solution.
Add two columns for lower boundary and less than cumulative frequency.
Daily Wages Frequency Lower boundary < cf
301 – 325 3 300.5 3
326 – 350 5 325.5 8

401 – 425 12 400.5 37 Q3 class
426 - 450 3 425.5 40

To find Q1, solve first the position of Q 1. ( n4 = 404 =10 ). Look at the less than cumulative
frequency and locate 10 (between 8 and 16). The next larger integer serves as the Q1 class. Do this
same process to locate Q2 class and Q3 class.

Percentiles are the score – points that divide a distribution into 100 equal parts. Each set of
data has 99 percentiles.

Lowest1% 1% 1% 1% … 1% 1% 1% 1%Highest
P1 P2 P3 P4 P96 P97 P98 P99

The nth percentile Pn, separates the lowest c% from the other (100 – n)%. For example, the
10th percentile (P10) separates the lowest 10% from the other 90%; the 25 th percentile (P25)
separates the lowest 25% from the other 75% while the 80 th percentile (P80) separates the lowest
~
80% from the other 20%. By definition, P50=Q2= X , P25=Q1 and P75=Q3.

Percentile Rank is typically defined as the proportion of scores in a distribution that a specific
score is greater than or equal to. For instance, if you received a score of 95 on a math test and this
score was greater than or equal to the score of 88% of the students taking the test, then your

where: PR= percentile rank

Example.
Given a tabulated score of 30 students who took an examination, determine the percentile rank
of a student with a score of
a.) 36 b.) 47
Percentage score
Score of 30 students
and Percentile score
Score F
are two different
15 – 19 3 things. A percentage
20 – 24 2 score tells us the
25 – 29 7 portion of the test
30 – 34 8 someone answered
35 – 39 3 while percentile score
40 – 44 4 means what percent of
45 – 49 2 others is below the
50 - 54 1 score we are
investigating.
Solution.
Add three columns for lower and upper boundaries and less than cumulative frequency.

a.) The student who obtained a score of 36 falls between the class boundary 34.5 and 39.5.
Getting the cumulative frequency cf of the upper and lower limits and applying interpolation,
we have:
39.5−23

39.5−34.5=5 [
36−34.5=1.5
36−x ]
34.5−20 [ ]
23−20=3
x −20 ]
Using ratio and proportion, we have:
5 3
=
1.5 x−20
Multiplying both sides by ( 1.5 ) ( x−20 ), we have:
5 ( x−20 )=3 ( 1.5 )

Solving for x, we have x=20.9.

To solve for the PR, use the formula
cf 20.9
PR= x 100 ⟹ x 100=69.67 %
N 30
Therefore, 69.67% of the students obtained scores below 36.

b.) The student who obtained a score of 47 falls between the class boundary 44.5 and 49.5.
Getting the cumulative frequency cf of the upper and lower limits and applying
interpolation, we have:
49.5−29

[49.5−44.5=5 [
47−44.5=2.5 [
47−x ]
44.5−27 ]
29−27=2
x−27

Using ratio and proportion, we have:

]
5 2
=
2.5 x−27
Multiplying both sides by ( 2.5 ) ( x−27 ) , we have:
5 ( x−27 ) =2 ( 2.5 )

Solving for x, we have x=28.

To solve What
for the
I PR, use the formula
cf 28
PR= x 100will⟹do x 100=93.33 %

Therefore, 93.33% of the students obtained scores below 47.

relate
a particular how many values in a distribution are above or below a certain limit. Special quantiles are the
quartile (quarter), the decile (tenth) and percentiles (hundredth).

Quartiles are points that divide a ranked data into four equal parts. Each set of data has three quartiles.
1. First quartile (Q1) is a number such that at most one – fourth or 25% of the data are smaller in
value than Q1, and at most three – fourth or 75% are larger. Q1 is sometimes called the lower quartile.
2. Second quartile (Q2) is a number such that one – half or 50% of the data are below or above in
value than Q2. Q2 is obviously the median. Hence, the former name is seldom used.
3. Third Quartile (Q3) is a number such that at most three – fourth or 75% of the data are smaller in
value than Q3, and at most one – fourth or 25% are larger. Q3 is sometimes called the upper quartile.

Percentiles are the score – points that divide a distribution into 100 equal parts. Each set of data has 99
percentiles.

Percentile rank of a certain score shows the percent of individuals in a group who achieved scores lower
than the one given.

Deciles are the score – points that divide a distribution into 10 equal parts.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities for there is not authority except from God, and
those that exists have been instituted by God. Romans 13:1

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” Matthew
