At the end of the session, the students
are expected to:
a. Discover the process of determining the
measure of position of a given set of ungrouped
data .
b. Illustrate the measure of position.
c. Share the importance of having
positioning/ranking in the academic performances
of the students.
GROUP ACTIVITY: Find Me!
A group of students obtained
the following scores in
Statistics quiz:
14, 10, 12, 9, 17, 5, 8, 9,
14, 10 and 11
PROCEDURE
1. Volunteer: Arrange the scores in ASCENDING
order.
2. GROUP 2: Identify the median score or the Q2.
3. GROUP 1: Identify the value between the middle
score and the lowest score or Q1.
4. GROUP 3:Identify the value between the
middle score and the highest score or 𝑄3.
GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1.WHAT IS 𝑄1, 𝑄2,AND 𝑄3OF THEIR
SCORES?
2. HOW MANY STUDENTS BELONG TO 𝑄1,
𝑄2,AND 𝑄3 IN TERMS OF THEIR SCORES?
3.HAVE YOU REALIZE OF FINDING THE
POSITION OF THE SCORES?

 QUARTILES
FOR
UNGROUPED
DATA
Quartile - are the score
points which divide a
distribution into four
equal parts.

Q1 Q2 Q3
Second Quartile (Q2) - is equal to the
median.
First Quartile (Q1) - is the 25% of the
distribution. Q1 is the value that is
between the least value and the
middle value.
Third quartile (Q3) - is the 75% of the
distribution. Q3 is the value that
is between the greatest value
and the middle value.
Why do we have ranking on
our classroom?
Class rank - is a measure
ofhow a student's
performance compares to
other students in his or
her class.
Divide your class rank by the
number of students in your grade,
multiply by 100, then subtract that
number from 100 For example, if there are
.

60 students in your grade and you are ranked 12th,

then you are in the 8th percentile because
(120/600)*100=20, and 100-20=80. You are also in the
top 20% of your class
MEASURES OF POSITION
- ARE TECHNIQUES THAT
DIVIDE A SET OF DATA INTO
EQUAL GROUPS
THE DIFFERENT MEASURES
OF POSITION ARE:

•QUARTILES
•DECILES
•PERCENTILES
QUANTILES CAN BE APPLIED WHEN:
• DEALING WITH LARGE AMOUNT OF DATA,
WHICH INCLUDES THE TIMELY RESULTS FOR
STANDARDIZED TESTS IN SCHOOLS, ETC.
• TRYING TO DISCOVER THE SMALLEST AS WELL AS
THE LARGEST VALUES IN A GIVEN DISTRIBUTION.
• EXAMINING FINANCIAL FIELDS FOR ACADEMIC
AS WELLAS STATISTICAL STUDIES.

INTERPOLATION

WE NEED TO USE INTERPOLATION IF THE

VALUE OF THE POSITION IS IN DECIMAL FORM
 USING THE FORMULA
