CALCULATING MEASURES OF POSITION FOR GROUPED DATA

Background Information
GROUPED DATA are data formed by aggregating individual
observations of a variable into groups, so that a frequency distribution of these
groups serves as a convenient means of summarizing or analyzing the data.
Below is an example of a grouped data :
CLASS INTERVAL FREQUENCY
SCORES f
41 – 50 5
31 – 40 4
21 – 3-0 6
11 – 20 10
1 – 10 5
Total 30
The frequency distribution table is a tabular presentation of
quantitative data grouped into numerical intervals called classes or class intervals
together with the number of observations in each class called the frequency.
STEPS IN FINDING THE MEASURES OF POSITION FOR GROUPED DATA
1. Determine the lower boundaries (LB) and less than cumulative frequency ( < 𝑐𝑓 )
in the frequency distribution table.
2. Solve for the location of the measure of position in the frequency distribution
table.
3. Use the formula in computing measure of position of grouped data.

QUARTILES FOR GROUPED DATA

Quartiles divide the distribution into four equal parts. To find
𝑄1, 𝑄2, and 𝑄3, we first need to determine the 𝑄1, 𝑄2, and 𝑄3 classes, respectively.
𝑁
The 𝑄1 class is the class interval where the ( ) 𝑡ℎ data is contained.
4
2𝑁
The 𝑄2 class is the class interval where ( ) 𝑡ℎ data is contained.
4
3𝑁
The 𝑄3 class is the class interval where ( ) 𝑡ℎ data is contained.

Where : Qk = quartile position

LB = lower boundary of Qk class
N = total frequency
cfb = cumulative frequency 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

selected 10 - Yantok learners . Calculate Q1 .

This means that 𝑄1 is at the 7.5th position.

Thus, we need to find the class interval where the 7.5th data is contained
using the less than cumulative frequency (< 𝑐𝑓) column.
The 7.5th data is contained between the 8th and the 12th data
 Class Frequency Lower Class Less than cumulative
Interval f boundary (LB ) frequency ( <cf ) Note that the 8th to
47 – 53 3 46.5 30 12th data belong to
40 – 46 3 39.5 27 this class interval.
33 – 39 4 32.5 24 So, the 7.5th data is
26 – 32 8 25.5 20 also within this
19 – 25 5 18.5 12 class interval.
12 - 18 7 11.5 7
Therefore, 𝑄1 belongs to the class interval 19-25.

This means that 𝑄2 is at the 15th position.

Thus, we need to find the class interval where the 15th data is contained using the less

The 15th data is contained between the 13th and 20th data.

Therefore, 50% of the group of students have less than or equal to 28 reactions

DECILES FOR GROUPED DATA
