MEASURES OF

RELATIVE
POSITION
Quartile, Decile, and Percentile
A measure of position
determines the position of a
single value in relation to
other values in a sample or a
population data set. We
commonly refer to these
measure of position as
quantiles or fractiles.
QUANTILES
 It is a score distribution where
the scores are divided into
different equal parts.
There are three kinds of quantiles:
 Quartile,

 Decile and

 Percentile.
QUARTILE

A measure of position
that divides the ordered
observations or score
distribution into 4 equal
parts.
DECILE
 A measure of position
that divides the ordered
observations or score
distribution into 10 equal
parts.
PERCENTILE
 A measure of position
that divides the ordered
observations or score
distribution into 100
equal parts.
