Dear Father in Heaven,

We sincerely repent of the sins we have committed against our neighbors. May the Lord subtract our

sinfulness and add more patience to our lives. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunities and wide range

of blessings. Continue to graph us according to your ways. Please multiply the blessings we receive

every day so that we can divide them among those who are in need. Please equate our lives to your

plans so that our ups and downs in slope you will always be there.

Please enjoin us and be the center and domain of our everyday life.

These we pray in the sweet name of Jesus. Amen.

The quartiles are the score points which divide a distribution into four
equal parts.

 Twenty-five percent (25%) of the distribution are below the

first quartile,
 Fifty percent (50%) are below the second quartile
 Seventy-five percent (75%) are below
 the third quartile.

Were you able to accurately determine the different
quartiles of the last metting’s activity?

Since 𝑄2 is equal to the median, the steps in finding for

the median of the data set is the same. To find 𝑄1, we get
the median of the lower half. To find 𝑄3, we get the
median of the upper half. This is called the 𝙏𝙪𝙠𝙚𝙮’𝙨

𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙠 is typically defined as the proportion of scores in a
distribution that a specific score is greater than or equal.
For instance, if you received a score of 95 on a mathematics test and this
score was greater than or equal to the scores of 88% of the students taking
the test, then your percentile rank would be 88.
In computing the percentile rank of ungrouped data, the following formula is
used:

PROBLEM 1 Determine the percentile rank of Computer

Solution:

Use the formula:

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐱 = (𝐧𝐨. 𝐨𝐟 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐱 /𝐍) x 𝟏𝟎𝟎

PR of x = (3/10)100
= (0.3)100 = 30

Therefore the Computer Engineer's salary is at 30th Percentile

Rank.
PROBLEM 2 Using the same table. Find how many percent of the
jobs has monthly salaries lower than Php 60,477?

Notice that there are 6 jobs are below the job with monthly
salary of 60, 477.
PROBLEM 2 Using the same table. Find how many percent of the
jobs has monthly salaries lower than Php 60,477?

Solution:
PR of x = (6/10)100

Therefore, 60% of the jobs have monthly salaries of Php 60, 477 or
less and 40% of the jobs have monthly salaries of Php 60, 477 or
more.
