you are the 6th tallest student in a group of 10, how many percent
of the students are shorter than you?

What Is It
When a set of data is arranged from lowest to highest, the distribution can be
divided into two, four, ten or a hundred equal parts. The points that are equally
divided in the set of data are called quantiles.
2
Quartiles divide the distribution into four equal parts, deciles into ten equal parts,
and percentiles into one hundred equal parts.
These descriptive measures, quartiles, deciles and percentiles are called fractiles.
QUARTILE FOR UNGROUPED DATA
The quartiles are the score points which divide a distribution into four equal parts.
Mendenhall and Sincich Method

The method of finding the quartile value.
The position of the data in the distribution is obtained by using the following formula,
𝒌
𝑸𝒌 = (𝒏 + 𝟏)
𝟒
where n is the total number of observations, Q is the quartile and k is the unknown
position and 4 is constant.
Steps in solving quartiles using Mendenhall and Sincich Method.

Step 1. Arrange the data in ascending order.
Step 2. Locate the position of the data in the distribution using the given formula.
Step 3. Identify the location of the data and get the value.
 If L (lower quartile) falls halfway between two integers, round

up, then Lth element is the lower quartile value (Q 1).
 If U (upper quartile) falls halfway between two integers, round
down, then U th element is the upper quartile value (Q3).
Remember: th indicates the position where the data is located.
Illustrative Examples:
Ex. 1. Using Mendenhall and Sincich Method, find the 1st quartile for the following
data representing the heights (in centimeters) of 9 high school students.
142 134 162 147 157 137 154 144 149
3
Solutions:
1. First, arrange the data in ascending order.
134 137 142 144 147 149 154 157 162
2. Locate the position of the data in the distribution.

To locate the position of the data, use
𝒌
𝑸𝒌 = (𝒏 + 𝟏)
𝟒
Since we need to find the 1st quartile and we have 9 given data, k = 1 and n = 9.
𝟏
𝑸𝟏 = (𝟗 + 𝟏)
𝟒
𝟏
𝑸𝟏 = (𝟏𝟎)
𝟒
𝟏𝟎
𝑸𝟏 =
𝟒
𝑸𝟏 = 𝟐. 𝟓 ≈ 𝟑
If L (lower quartile) falls halfway between two integers, round up, then L th element
is the lower quartile value (Q 1). The computed value 2.5 becomes 3 after rounding
up.
3. Identify the location of the data and get the value.

134 137 142 144 147 149 154 157 162
The lower quartile value (Q 1) is the 3rd data element, thus Q 1= 142.
Ex. 2. Using Mendenhall and Sincich Method, find the 3 rd quartile for the following
data representing the heights (in centimeters) of 10 high school students.
142 134 162 147 157 137 154 144 149 150
Solutions:
1. First, arrange the data in ascending order.
134 137 142 144 147 149 150 154 157 162
2. Locate the position of the data in the distribution, use:

𝒌
𝑸𝒌 = (𝒏 + 𝟏)
𝟒
Since we need to find the 3rd quartile and we have 9 given data, k = 3 and n = 10.
𝟑
𝑸𝟑 = (𝟏𝟎 + 𝟏)
𝟒
𝟑
𝑸𝟑 = (𝟏𝟏)
𝟒
𝟑𝟑
𝑸𝟑 =
𝟒
𝑸𝟑 = 𝟖. 𝟐𝟓 ≈ 𝟖
If U (upper quartile) falls halfway between two integers, round down, then Uth
element is the upper quartile value (Q3). The computed value 8.25 becomes 8 after
rounding down.
4
3. Identify the location of the data and get the value.
134 137 142 144 147 149 150 154 157 162
The upper quartile value (Q3) is the 8t h data element, thus Q 3= 154.
Linear Interpolation
A method in finding the quartile value when the result of Mendenhall is decimal.

Step 2. Locate the position of the data in the distribution.
Step 3. If the result is decimal, proceed for linear interpolation.
Steps in solving quartiles using Linear Interpolation.
1. Find the difference between the two values wherein Qk is situated.
2. Multiply the result in Step 1 by the decimal part obtained in step 2.
3. Add the result in step 2 to the smaller number in step 1.
Ex. 1. Using Linear Interpolation, find the 1 st quartile for the following data
representing the heights (in centimeters) of 9 high school students.
142 134 162 147 157 137 154 144 149

Solutions:
Step 1. First, arrange the data in ascending order.
134 137 142 144 147 149 154 157 162
Step 2. Locate the position of the data in the distribution, use:

𝑸𝟏 = 𝟐. 𝟓
134 137 142 144 147 149 154 157 162
1. Find the difference between the two values wherein Qk is situated.
Q1 is between 137 and 142, therefore;
= 142 – 137
=5
= 5 (0.5)
= 2.5
5
= 2.5 + 137
= 139.5
Therefore, the value of Q 1 is 139.5.
Ex. 2. Using Linear Interpolation, find the 3rd quartile for the following data
representing the heights (in centimeters) of 10 high school students.
142 134 162 147 157 137 154 144 149 150
Solutions:
Step 1. First, arrange the data in ascending order.
134 137 142 144 147 149 150 154 157 162

134 137 142 144 147 149 150 154 157 162
1. Find the difference between the two values wherein Q k is situated.

Q3 is between 154 and 157, therefore;
= 157 – 154
=3
= 3 (0.25)
= 0.75
= 0.75 + 154
= 154.75
Therefore, the value of Q 3 is 154.75.
DECILE FOR UNGROUPED DATA

The decile are the nine score points which divides a distribution into ten equal parts.
6
To calculate the position of deciles, use the formula;
𝒌
𝑫𝒌 = (𝒏 + 𝟏)
𝟏𝟎
where D is the decile, k is the position of the decile, n is the total number of data
and 10 is constant.
Steps in solving deciles:

Step 2. Locate the position of the data in the distribution. If the answer is decimal,
round off to the nearest integer.
Ex. 1. Find the 3rd decile of the following test scores of a random sample of 15
students: 22, 31, 24, 28, 47, 34, 40, 39, 30, 29, 17, 23, 32, 25 and 45.

hundred equal parts.

What Is It
Ungrouped data are data in the raw or data that you first gather.
Grouped data are data that has been organized into groups known as classes.
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
In calculating measure of position for grouped data, we will be using frequency
distribution table. A frequency distribution table is a table which shows that data
arranged into different classes and the number of frequencies which fall into each
class.
Quartile of Grouped Data

Recall that quartiles divide the distribution into four equal parts.
The following is used in calculating quartiles of grouped data:
𝒌𝑵
− 𝒄𝒇𝒃
𝑸𝒌 = 𝑳𝑩 + [ 𝟒 ]𝒊
𝒇𝑸𝒌
where: 𝐿𝐵 = lower boundary of 𝑄𝑘 class
𝑁 = total frequency
𝑐𝑓𝑏 = cumulative frequency of the class of the class before the 𝑄𝑘 class
𝑓𝑄𝑘 = frequency of the 𝑄𝑘 class
𝑖 = size of the class interval
k = nth quartile, where n=1, 2 and 3
Formula to calculate the 𝑄𝑘 class

𝒌𝑵
𝑸𝒌 𝑪𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔 =

Decile of Grouped Data

Deciles are values that divide the distribution into 10 equal parts.
The following is used in calculating decile of grouped data:

𝑫𝒌 = 𝑳𝑩 + [ 𝟏𝟎 ]𝒊
𝒇𝑫𝒌
where: 𝐿𝐵 = lower boundary of 𝐷𝑘 class
𝑐𝑓𝑏 = cumulative frequency of the class of the class before the 𝐷𝑘 class

Percentiles are values that divide the distribution into 100 equal parts.
The following is used in calculating percentile of grouped data:
𝒌𝑵

𝑷𝒌 = 𝑳𝑩 + [𝟏𝟎𝟎 ]𝒊
𝒇𝑷𝒌
where: 𝐿𝐵 = lower boundary of 𝑃𝑘 class
𝑐𝑓𝑏 = cumulative frequency of the class of the class before the 𝑃𝑘 class

k = nth quartile, where n=1, 2, …, 98 and 99
Formula to calculate the 𝑃𝑘class

𝒌𝑵
𝑷𝒌 𝑪𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔 =
