ILLUSTRATION OF MEASURES OF POSITION

If you are given the following data: 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, the middlemost value is 5. Hence, it is the
median of the data. It is important to note that the values in a data must be arranged in
ascending order before looking for the median.

However, if there are two middlemost values in a data, then get the average of those
numbers to get the median. For example, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, the two middlemost values in the
given data are 6 and 7, so the median is 6 + 7 = 13 ÷ 2 = 6.5

Aside from median, there are other measures that indicate position. Study the text below.

Measures of position shows where a certain data point or value falls in a sample or array of
distribution. It can state whether a value is about the average, or whether it is unusually high or
low compared to the data as a whole. There are a lot of measures of position, but the most
common are the quartiles, deciles, and percentiles.

1. Quartiles - are points that divide the data into four equal parts.
First Quartile (Q1) is a number such that at most one-fourth or 25
% of the data are smaller in value than Q1 and at most three-
fourths or 75% are larger than Q1. It is also called as lower
quartile.
Second Quartile (Q2) is a number such that at most one-half or
50 % of the data are below and above in value than Q2. Second
Quartile is also known as median.

Third Quartile (Q3) is a number such that at most three-fourths or

75 % of the data are smaller in value than Q3 and at most one-
fourth or 25% are larger than Q3. It is also called as upper quartile.
Illustrative Example No. 1

Mrs. Rivera, a math teacher, conducted her first quiz for the first quarter. The top 5 students
got the following scores: 20, 13, 15, 16, 14. Illustrate 𝑄1, 𝑄2, and 𝑄3 of the given data.
Solution:
First, arrange the numbers in ascending order in a line.

• The least value in the data is 13 and the greatest value in the data is 20.
• The middle value in the data is 15. It is the 𝑄2.
• 𝑄1 or lower quartile is the middle value between the least value and 𝑄2. In the example
above, it is 14.
• 𝑄3 or upper quartile is the middle value between 𝑄2 and the greatest value in the data.
In the example above, it is 16
Therefore, 𝑄1, 𝑄2, and 𝑄3 can be illustrated as follow:

2. Deciles - are the nine score points that divide the data into ten equal parts. D1, D2,
D3,…D9
Third Decile (D3) is a number such that at most
30 % of the data are smaller in value than D3
and at most 70% are larger than D3.
Fifth Decile (D5) is a number such that at most
one-half or 50 % of the data are below and
above in value than D5. It is the median of
the set of data. It is also the 𝑄2.
Ninth Decile (D9) is a number such that at most
90 % of the data are smaller in value than
D9, and at most 10% are larger than D9.
It is important to note that 𝐷 2.5 is equal to 𝑄1 and 𝐷 7.5 is equal to 𝑄3.
Illustrative Example No. 2
The local government of San Pablo City informs the
public on the daily number of CoViD-19 active cases and
recoveries. It is posted in SPC Anti-Covid 19 Task Force
Facebook Page. The number of recoveries from May 3,
2021 to May 13, 2021 is as follows:30, 14, 23, 23, 17, 8,
15, 25, 17, 14, 22. Illustrate 𝐷3, 𝐷5, and 𝐷9.
Solution:
First, arrange the numbers in ascending order in a line.

• There are 11 values in the data.

• The 30% of 11 is 11(0.3) = 3.3 ≈ 3. (Note: ≈ is used to show approximation or a
 value is being rounded off, up, or down.) Thus, the values 8, 14, 14 are the 30% of
the data and 𝐷3 = 15.
• 𝐷5 is also the median of the data. Hence, 𝐷5 = 17.
• The 90% of 11 is 11(0.9) = 9.9 ≈ 10. Therefore, the values 8, 14, 14, 15, 17, 17, 22, 23,
23, 25 are the 90% of the data and
𝐷9 = 30.
𝐷3, 𝐷5, and 𝐷9 can be illustrated as shown below.

3. Percentiles - are score points that divides the data into 100 equal parts. P1, P2, P3,
…P99. The nth percentile, Pn, separates the lowest n% from the other (100-n) %.

FINDING MEASURES OF POSITION

MEASURES OF POSITION FOR UNGROUPED DATA

1.Quartiles – the score points which divide a distribution into four equal parts. (Figure 1)
a. First Quartile – the value where the twenty-five percent
(25%) of the distribution are below it. It is
denoted by 𝑄1. It is also called as the lower
quartile.
b. Second Quartile – the value where fifty percent (50%) or
half of the distribution are below it. It is denoted
by 𝑄2 and also the median of the distribution.

c. Third Quartile – the value where seventy-five percent

(75%) of the distribution are below it. It is
denoted by 𝑄3. It is also called as the upper
quartile.

Figure 1
Mendenhall and Sincich Method – a method that can be used in calculating quartiles.

Illustrative Example 1

Find 𝑄1, 𝑄2, and 𝑄3 of the following distribution: 3, 5, 2, 5, 4, 6, 8, 7, 4.

2. Deciles – the nine score points which divide a distribution into ten equal parts. They are
denoted as 𝐷1, 𝐷2, 𝐷3, … , 𝐷9. (Figure 2)
 Finding deciles is similar to finding quartiles except to the formula being used in finding its
positions.
Illustrative Example 2

Find the third decile (𝐷3) and the seventh decile (𝐷7) of the distribution: 3, 5, 2, 5, 4, 6, 8, 7, 4.

3. Percentiles – the ninety-nine score points which divide a distribution into one hundred equal
parts.

It can be used to determine the values for 1%, 2%, …., and 99% of the distribution. 𝑃40 or 40th
percentile of the distribution means 40% of the distribution have values less than or equal
to 𝑃40.

Finding percentiles is similar to finding quartiles and deciles except to the formula being used in
finding its positions.

Illustrative Example 3

Find the 30th percentile (𝑃30) of the distribution : 3, 5, 2, 5, 4, 6, 8, 7, 4.

INTERPRETATION OF MEASURES OF POSITION

INTERPRETATION OF MEASURES OF POSITION

Quartiles Deciles Percentiles
• 25% of the distribution has a • 10% of the distribution has a • 1% of the distribution has a
value less than or equal to the value less than or equal to the value less than or equal to the
first quartile (𝑄1). first decile (𝐷1). first percentile (𝑃1).
 • 50% or one-half of the • 20% of the distribution has a • 2% of the distribution has a
distribution has a value less value less than or equal to the value less than or equal to the

• 75% of the distribution has a value less than or equal to the value less than or equal to the
value less than or equal to the third decile (𝐷3). third percentile (𝑃3).
third quartile (𝑄3). NOTE: The connection NOTE: The percentile position
between deciles and is also the percentage of the
percentiles is that the first values in a distribution less
decile 𝐷1 is the 10th than or equal to that particular
percentile; the second decile percentile.
is the 20th percentile; the third
decile is the 30th percentile,
and so on.

Look at the following examples and study how each measure is being interpreted.

Illustrative Example 1
In preparation for Palarong Pambansa, Mr. Smith, as CALABARZON athletics team
coach, asked his 10 players to run 100 meters. Jayjay, one of the players, ran completely in 9
minutes which is 4th decile of the recorded time. What does it mean?

Explanation: Since 4th decile is equal to 𝑃40 then this means that 40% of the players ran less
than or equal to 9 minutes. In other words, 10×40%=4 players ran less than or equal to 9
minutes. Furthermore, 60% of the players or 6 players ran greater than 9 minutes.
Illustrative Example 2
Based on the survey conducted by the Barangay Health Office of Barangay San Jose, the
third quartile (𝑄3) of the ages of 200 Grade 10 students of that barangay is 16 years old. What
does it mean?

Explanation: This means that 75% of the Grade 10 students in Barangay San Jose is 16 years
old or younger than 16 years old. In other words, 200×75%=150 Grade 10 students of Barangay
San Jose are 16 years old or younger than 16 years old. In addition, 25% or 50 Grade students
are older than 16 years old.
Illustrative Example 3
The score of Cece in the Third Quarterly Examination in Mathematics is in the 8th decile
(𝐷8) and the passing score is in the 65th percentile (𝑃65). Did she pass the test? (Assume that the
values of 𝐷8 and 𝑃65 are different.)

Explanation: 𝐷8 =𝑃80. Since it is assumed that 𝐷8 and 𝑃65 have different values, then it can be
said that Cece’s score is greater than 𝑃65. Therefore, she passed the examination.

WRITTEN WORK 3
Let us choose the BEST!

Answer the following questions. Choose the letter that corresponds to the correct answer.

____1. Theodoro took the entrance examination in San Pablo City Science Integrated High
School. His score is in the 7th decile and the passing score is the 75th percentile. Suppose that
𝐷7 and 𝑃75 are not equal, can Theodoro enroll in that school?

PROBLEMS INVOLVING MEASURES OF POSITION

Considering problems involving measures of position, the following questions should be answered
correctly to come up with the right answer:

1. What is the data being presented in the problem? Is it ungrouped or grouped data?
2. What measure of position is being asked? Is it quartile? decile? percentile?
3. What is the procedure to perform and the formula to use
Try to study the illustrative examples below.
Illustrative Example 1
San Pablo City is well-known to its delicacies made of coconut. One of them is the buko pie.
According to Mang Bertos, an online seller of buko pie, his sales has increased due to the demand
of online services due to pandemic. The following data is the number of buko pie boxes being sold
for the past ten days: 35, 42, 37, 47, 38, 38, 43, 46, 35, 32. Find 𝑄3.

Solution:
Answering the guide questions above,
a) The data is ungrouped.
b) The measure of position being asked is 𝑄3

Steps Illustration
1. Arrange the values in the distribution in 32, 35, 35, 37, 38, 38, 42, 43, 46, 47
ascending order.
2. Find the position of 𝑄3 by using ¾ (𝑛 + 1) n = 10
where n is the number of values. The resulting Position of 𝑄3 = ¾ (𝑛 + 1) = ¾ (10 + 1) = ¾
value must be rounded to the nearest integer. (11) = 8.25. The resulting value 8.25 becomes
However, if the resulting value falls halfway 8 after rounding it off to the nearest integer.
between two integers, round it down. Hence 𝑄3 is the 8th value.
3. Look at the arranged distribution. Third Based on the given distribution,
Quartile or 𝑄3: the value that falls under the 𝑄3 = 43.
computed position of 𝑄3.

Therefore, it can be said that 75% of the number of buko pie boxes being sold for the past ten
days is less than or equal to 43.

Illustrative Example 2
Coconut oil is one of the benefits of coconut tree to human lives. It contains natural saturated fats
that increase good cholesterol levels in human bodies. In TLE we learned about these saturated
and unsaturated fats. One of the factories manufacturing the product is Tropicana Food Products,
Inc. (TFPI) which was founded in 1975 at the heart of “Coconut City” – San Pablo City, Laguna.
TFPI has been the manufacturer of coconut products such as pioneering Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO)
production in 1985. It has been a major supplier of many VCO brands both locally and
internationally. Supposed it has 50 employees with the age data shown below:
