I. Introduction
This activity serves as a self-learning guide for the learners. It facilitates

lesson understanding as it specifically aims for students’ mastery of the
concept on measures of position; quartiles deciles and percentiles. The
data set can be divided into 4, 10 and 100 for quartiles, deciles and
percentiles respectively.
II. Learning Competency
At the end of this learning activity, you should be able to illustrate the
following measures of position: quartiles, deciles and percentiles.
(M10SP-lVa-1)
III. Activities
Quartile – The quartiles are the score points which divide a distribution into four equal parts.
Quartile 1 is 25% of the data set or the lower quartile. Quartile 2 is the median
equivalent to 50% or the middle quartile of the distribution in the data set, while
Quartile 3 is 75% of the data set or the upper quartile. Look at the figure below
25% 50% 75%
Q1 Q2 Q3
Decile – The deciles are the nine score points which divide a distribution into ten equal parts,
the illustration below is the division of decile.
D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 D8 D9
Percentile - The percentiles are the ninety-nine score points which divide a distribution into
one hundred equal parts, so that each part represents the data set.
P10 P20 P30 P40 P50 P60 P70 P80 P90

D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 D8 D9
The 1st decile (D1) is the 10th percentile (P10). It means 10% of the data is less
than or equal to the value of P10 or D1, and so on.
