 What’s New

In this module, we will discover some situations in life that

show the measures of position.

Your teacher gave you a short quiz in Mathematics 10 during

your virtual meeting. Your class scores from a 20-item quiz are
listed randomly, 7, 9, 16, 15, 12, 13, 15, 16, 11, 9, 10. Your
teacher asked you to find the 3rd position, 5th position and the 7th
position from the distribution of the scores. What would you do?

What Is It

In this module, we will discuss the steps in solving

problems involving measures of position for ungrouped data.
Ungrouped Data is a type of data that is totally the raw
data, has not been subdivided in the form of group. It is basically
a list of numbers or array of numbers that is originally collected.

Steps in solving problems involving measure of position:

1. Read and analyze the problem.
2. Arrange given data in ascending form.
3. Find the total number of data.
4. Identify if what is being asked. Is it the Quartile, the
Decile, or the Percentile of the data given?
5. Solve using appropriate formula.

Quartile for Ungrouped Data is the value that divides a list of

numbers into quarters:
1st Quartile = 25 % of the distribution or the Lower Quartile
2nd Quartile = 50 % of the distribution or the Median
3rd Quartile = 75 % of distribution or the Upper Quartile

 Example
The result of the 15-item Summative Test of 15 ICT students
in their Mathematics subject are the following 8, 10, 15, 13, 3, 6,
4, 12, 9, 7, 5, 1, 11, 2, 14. Find the Lower Quartile, the Median
and the Upper Quartile of the data.

Steps in solving problems involving measure of position:

Step 1. Read and analyze the problem.

Step 2. Arrange the given data in ascending form.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

Step 3. Find the total number of data.

N = 15

Step 4. Identify what is being asked. Is it the Quartile,

the Decile or the Percentile of the data given? Find
the Lower Quartile, Median and Upper Quartile of
the data.

Step 5. Solve using appropriate formula.

For Quartile 1 or Lower Quartile:

Percentile for Ungrouped Data

The percentiles are the ninety-nine score points that divide a
distribution into one hundred equal parts, so each part represents
the data set.
It is used to characterize values according to the percentage
below the 1st decile 𝐷1 , also the 10th percentile (𝑃10 ). It means 10
% of the data is less than or equal to the values of 𝑃10 or 𝐷1 .

 Lesson
Solving Problems Involving Measures

2 of Position for Grouped Data

What’s In

There are questions you have to answer before solving a problem

involving measures of position

1. Are you ready to get the measures of position in a grouped data?

2. How are measures of position for grouped data used in real-life
situations?

In this section, you can specifically calculate measures of position.

This will also guide you to solve problems involving measures of position.
More importantly you will be guided to formulate and solve real life
problems and demonstrate your understanding of the lesson by doing
some practical problems.

To help you understand the topic notes with definition, formula

and illustrative examples are provided. And the most important concept
that you should know in this module is how to construct the table of
frequency distribution. Maybe in the past modules you did not encounter
but in this particular lesson you will be guided by the steps given.

The most common measures of position are Quartiles, Deciles and

Percentiles.

𝐾𝑁

Pk = LB + i
𝑓𝑃𝑘

Where;

LB – lower boundary of the quartile/decile/percentile group

N = total frequency
Cfb = cumulative frequency of the class before the Qk/ Dk/ Pk class
f = frequency of the Qk/ Dk/ Pk class
i = size of class interval
k = nth quartile/ nth decile/ nth Percentile

Since, we will be guided by the process on how to make a frequency

distribution table it would be very appropriate to recall the definition of
the different terms used in the table.
Frequency refers to the number of times an event or a value
occurs. A frequency is represented by the English
Alphabet 𝑓.
Frequency Table is a table that lists items and shows the number
of times the items occur.
Class Interval or class width are the subsets into which the data
is grouped.
Cumulative Frequency is calculated by adding each frequency
from a frequency distribution table to sum of its
predecessors. The at most value will always be equal
to the total for all observations.
Range is the difference between the highest and lowest values.
Raw data is collected randomly and presented as primary data.

14
 How to construct a Frequency Distribution table?

Steps in constructing a frequency distribution

1. Find the highest value (HS) and lowest value (LS) of the
given raw data. Calculate the range of the given set using
the highest and lowest value.
𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 = ℎ𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒(𝐻𝑆) − 𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒(𝐿𝑆)
2. Divide the range by the number of groups you want,
then round up. The number of classes will depend in
your own desire.
3. Pick the starting point using your class interval or class
width to create your groups, using the lower limit and
upper limit. The starting point maybe less than or equal
to the minimum value or lowest value.
4. Find the frequency of each group.
5. Construct your table of frequency distribution.

What’s New

This section of the module will test your understanding of the

different measures of position. To demonstrate and apply your knowledge
you will be given a practical task specifically in the field of business and
social science. How are measures of positions for grouped data used in
real–life situations?

When the year 2020 started, we are alarmed by the news of the
rapid spread of an incurable virus. Considering this situation our
government decided to place our country to the policy of strict quarantine
just to avoid the movement of people and to keep away from the spread
of the virus. According to the updates of DOH at a certain place in the
Philippines, the total number of Covid-19 cases has jumped to 103 with
the addition of 12 newly confirmed cases. They reported that the province
has 38 recoveries while the number of deaths stayed at six. The other
patients are either under strict home quarantine or in designated
quarantine facility. Since IATF is planning to ease the quarantine, they
gather the information on the ages of the recoveries as their basis. The
report shows the ages of the recoveries and are as follows:
16, 15, 20, 21, 20, 32, 35, 48, 16, 17, 45, 42, 43, 40, 20, 22, 23,
25, 27, 38, 37, 40, 42, 32, 33, 35, 37, 37, 38, 39, 20, 25, 30, 29, 17, 18,
19, 17.

Based on the information given, the IATF somehow be given the

idea if they will now allow person below 15 years and above 60 years old
to emerge.
15
 The course of action will be based on the Percentage rate of ages
that can possibly be permitted outside their residence for salient reasons
and purposes.

What Is It

Measures of position tell where a specific data value falls within

the data set or its relative position in comparison with other data values.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES
Solve the following problems on measures of position of grouped data:

1. Mr. Tony Dela Cruz is a businessman, because of the occurrence of

Covid-19, he decided to arrange the working scheme of his employees.
He decided to observe the service time of the first 35 customers of his
Cafeteria. The following are the recorded time in minutes: 20, 35, 55,
28, 46, 32, 25, 56, 55, 28, 37, 60, 47, 52, 17, 15, 20, 22, 23, 26, 27,
30, 32, 35, 38, 26, 27, 30, 40, 50, 52, 53,43, 45, 40.Construct the
table of distribution then find the values of the 3rd Quartile, 2nd Decile
and 80th Percentile.
Solution:
First, follow the steps in constructing a frequency distribution
using the given raw data.
Step 1. Find the highest and lowest value of the given raw data. Calculate
the range of the given set using the highest (HS) and lowest value
(LS).
𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 = ℎ𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 − 𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
HS = 60 𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 = 𝐻𝑆 − 𝐿𝑆 = 60 − 15 = 𝟒𝟓
LS = 15
Step 2. Divide the range by the number of groups you want, then round
up. The number of classes will depend in your own desire.
Supposed I want 7 groups, using the range:
45
= 6.4 ≈
7

𝑄3 = = = 26.25 = 26
4 4

17
 This means we need to find the class interval where the 26th score
is contained.
Note that the 25th – 30th scores belong to the class interval 46 – 52. So,
the 26th score is also within the class interval.
The 𝑄3 lies in class interval 46-52.
Solve for 𝑄3

𝑄3 = 47. 83

Therefore, 75% of the customers was served at about 48 minutes.

Determine the position of 𝐷2

𝐾𝑁 2(35) 70
𝐷2 = = = =7
10 10 10

This means we need to find the class interval where the 7th score
is contained.
Note that the 7th – 15th scores belong to the class interval 25-31. So, the
26th score is also within the class interval.
The 𝐷2 lies in class interval 25-31.
Solve for 𝐷2

𝐷2 = 𝟐𝟓. 𝟗
Therefore, 20% of the customers was served at about 26 minutes.
Determine the position of 𝑃80
𝐾𝑁 80(35) 2800
𝑃80 = = = = 28
100 100 100

This means we need to find the class interval where the 28th score
is contained.

18
Note that the 25th – 30th scores belong to the class interval 46 – 52. So,
the 26th score is also within the class interval.
The 𝑃80 lies in class interval 46-52.

Solve for Percentile 80

 Solution:
1. To find how many members comprises the Barangay , we will
find
the total member of frequency.
N = 3+11+18+20+22+18+12+8+2

N = 115

2. Find the cumulative frequency and the Lower Boundary

3. Find 𝐷3
𝐾𝑁 3(115)
𝐷3 = = = 34.5
10 10

This means we need to find the class interval where the 35th score
is contained.
Note that the 24th – 41st scores belong the class interval 28 - 34. So, the
35th score is also within the class interval.

The D3 lies in class interval 28 -34:

Solve for 𝑫𝟑

𝐷3 =31.97
49.76
20
Therefore 30% of the members of the families ages less than 31.97≈ 32.
4. Find the Median Age

Solution:
𝑄2 , 𝐷5 and 𝑃50 are median. It means that Q2, D5 and P50 have equal
values.

Find the position of 𝑄2

𝐾𝑁 2(115)
Q2 = = = 57.5
4 4

This means we need to find the class interval where the 58th score
is contained.
Note that the 58th scores belong to the class interval 35 – 41. So, the 58th
score is also within the class interval.

Solve for 𝑸𝟐

22 𝒊=𝟕

= 34.5 + 5.25

Q2 = 39.75

Thus, 50% of the members of the families ages less than 39.75 ≈ 40.
Find the position of 𝑃50

𝐾𝑁 50(115)
𝑃50 = 100 = 100
= 57.5

This means we need to find the class interval where the 58th score
is contained.

21
 Note that the 58th scores belong to the class interval 35 – 41. So,
the 58th score is also within the class interval. Take note also that P 50 =
Q2 = D5.

Solve for 𝑷𝟓𝟎

22

= 34.5 + 5.25

P50 = 39.75

Thus, 50% of the members of the families ages less than 39.75 ≈ 40.
Since 𝑸𝟐 = 𝑷𝟓𝟎 = 𝑫𝟓 are of equal values then 𝑫𝟓 = 𝟑𝟗. 𝟕𝟓 ≈ 𝟒𝟎
3. A mathematics teacher gathered information about the test result of
50 students because he wanted to know the scores obtained. The table

Find the position of 𝑄1
𝐾𝑁 1(50)
Q1 = 4 = 4 = 12.5

This means we need to find the class interval where the 13th score
is contained.
Note that the 7th – 18th scores is also within the class interval.
So, the Q1 class lies in the class interval 26 – 30:

Solve for 𝑸𝟏
𝐾𝑁

Q1 = LB + i
𝑓𝑄𝑘 LB = 25.5
N= 50
𝑪𝒇𝒃 = 𝟔
𝒇𝑸𝟏 = 𝟏𝟐
12.5−6 i=5
= 25.5 + 5
12

= 25.5 + 2.71

Q1 = 28.21

Therefore 25% of the students got a score less than or equal to 28.21
or within the interval 26 – 30

Find the position of 𝐷6

6(50) 300
𝐷6 = 10 = 10 = 30

This means we need to find the class interval where the 30 th score
is contained.
Note that the 28th – 38th scores is also within the class interval.
So, the D6 lies in the class interval 36 – 40.
Solve for 𝑫𝟔
𝐾𝑁

D6 = LB + i
𝑓𝐷𝑘
LB = 35.5

11
i=5
= 35.5 + 1.36

D6 = 36.86

23
 Thus, 60% of the students got a score less than or equal to
36.86 or within the interval 36 – 40.

Find the position of 𝑃85

𝐾𝑁 85(50)
𝑃85 = = = 42.50
100 100

This means we need to find the class interval where the 43rd
score is contained.

Note that the 39th – 46th scores belong the class interval. The
P85 class lies in the class interval 41 – 45.
LB = 40.5
𝐾𝑁
− 𝐶𝑓𝑏 N= 50
𝑃85= LB + 10
i 𝐶𝑓𝑏 = 38
𝑓𝑃𝑘
𝑓𝑃85 = 8
i=5
42.50−38

= 40.5 + 2.81

P85 = 43.31

Thus, 85% of the students got a score less than or equal to

43.31 or within the interval 41 – 45.
