In computing for the deciles of grouped data, the formula used is:
𝑘𝑁
− 𝑐𝑓𝑏
𝐷𝑘 = 𝐿𝐵 + ( 10 )𝑖
𝑓𝐷𝑘
where:
LB= lower boundary of the 𝐷𝑘 class
N= total frequency
𝑐𝑓𝑏 = cumulative frequency of the class before the 𝐷𝑘 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠
i= size of class interval
k= nth decile, where n=1,2,3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
Example:
The data on the distance travelled by 150 participants in the fund raising
marathon “Takbo Para sa Kinabukasan 2018” is given by the following
table.
Distance (in km) Frequency (f)
19-21 12
16-18 17
13-15 26
10-12 32
7-9 29

This means we need to find the class interval where the 30th score is
contained.
Note that the 17th-34th scores belong to the class interval: 4-6. So,
the 30th score is also within the class interval.
The 𝐷2 class is the class interval 4-6.

𝐷2 = 5.83
Therefore, 20% of all the participants travelled less than or equal to
5.83 km.

This means we need to find the class interval where the 60th score is
contained.
Note that the 35th-63rd scores belong to the class interval: 7-9. So,
the 60th score is also within the class interval.
The 𝐷4 class is the class interval 7-9.

𝐷3 class : 10 = 10 = 10 = 34.5
This means we need to find the class interval where the 34.5th score
is contained.
Note that the 24th-41st scores belong to the class interval: 28-34. So,
the 34.5th score is also within the class interval.
The 𝐷3 class is the class interval 28-34.

This means we need to find the class interval where the 69th score is
contained.
Note that the 64th-83rd scores belong to the class interval: 42-48. So,
the 69th score is also within the class interval.
The 𝐷6 class is the class interval 42-48.

Deciles are those values that divide the total frequency into 10 equal parts.
These deciles are denoted as 𝐷1 , 𝐷2 , 𝐷3 , … , 𝐷9 .
In computing for the deciles of grouped data, the formula used is:
𝑘𝑁
− 𝑐𝑓𝑏
𝐷𝑘 = 𝐿𝐵 + ( 10 )𝑖
𝑓𝐷𝑘
where:
LB= lower boundary of the 𝐷𝑘 class

k= nth decile, where n=1,2,3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
The students will be grouped into four. Their task is to complete the
given table and to solve for the nth decile.

Solution:
For 𝑫𝟓 ,
𝑘𝑁 5(120) 600
𝐷5 class : 10 = 10 = 10 = 60
This means we need to find the class interval where the 60th score is
contained.
Note that the 51st -75th scores belong to the class interval: 150-159.
So, the 60th score is also within the class interval.
The 𝐷5 class is the class interval 150-159.

𝐷7 class : 10 = 10 = 10 = 84
This means we need to find the class interval where the 84th score is
contained.
Note that the 76th -93rd scores belong to the class interval: 160-169.
So, the 84th score is also within the class interval.
The 𝐷7 class is the class interval 160-169.
