Measures of Positions

for Ungrouped Data:


Quartiles
Measures of position - give us a way to see where a certain
data point or value falls in a sample or distribution. A measure can
tell us whether a value is about the average, or whether it’s
unusually high or low.
Quartile - a statistical term describing a division of observations
into four defined intervals based upon the values of the data.
Median - the middle value of a set of numbers. It is the point at
which exactly half of the data lies below and above the central
value.
Quantiles - measures of positions that divide a distribution into
four, ten, and hundred equal parts.
Quartiles
There are three quartiles in a set of numbers:
1. The lower quartile Q1. Real Numbers:
are all
2. The middle quartile Q2the rationalcalled
. (also numbersthe
and irrational
median) numbers
3. The upper quartile Q3.
The quartiles divide the set into four equal groups when they are in
ascending order,.
Three Methods for Finding the Quartiles
1. The Moore and McCabe Method
2. The Tukey Method
3. The Mendenhall and Sincich Method

(Note: Within each method, the method is slightly different dependent on


whether there are an odd or even number of data in the set).
Note that ellipses are added to show that there are infinitely many
numbers on both ends of the number line.

Plot the whole numbers. In our example, the whole numbers are 0 and 8.
Remember that the whole numbers are the counting numbers (natural numbers) and
0.

Measures of
Position: Deciles
The Deciles for Ungrouped Data
The decile is one way of determining the measures of position by
dividing the set of data into ten groups. In symbol, D1, D2 , D3 , D4, D5 ,
D6…… D10.. They are computed in the same way that the quartile are
calculated.
Measures of Position:
Percentiles
The Percentile for Ungrouped Data
The percentile is one way of determining the measures of position by dividing the
set of data into one hundred groups. In symbol, P10, P20 , P30 , .…… P100.. They are
computed in the same way that the decile are calculated.

STEP 2 Plot the given decimal value/s on the number line. That is 0.5.
