IVb-1)
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 it’s unusually high or low.
Measures of position are used for quantitative data that falls on some numerical scale. Sometimes,
measures can be applied to ordinal variables – those variables that have an order, like first, second, or
fiftieth.
This part of the module enables you to understand quantiles in a set of ungrouped data.
The understanding that you will gain in the following activities will help you understand
measures of position.
The learner illustrates the following measures of position: quartiles, deciles and percentiles.

MATHEMATICS 10
A calculation is a deliberate process that transforms one or more inputs into one or more
results. To calculate means to determine mathematically in the case of a number or amount, or in a
case of an abstract problem to deduce the answer using logic, reason or common sense.
In this lesson you will learn more about the measures of position for grouped data and the
process on calculating their values.
We are done with the measures of position for ungrouped data. To introduce you how to calculate the
measures of position for grouped data, we need to identify first the lower boundary of the frequency
distribution table. See next page for the given example.
Example 1. The table below shows the scores of 20 students in a 30-item quiz in Mathematics.
ACTIVITY 1: Boundaries
Directions: Complete the table below. Find the lower boundary of the data in Table 2.

In order to compute the unknown measures of position, we also need the less than cumulative
frequency. Let’s use the previous example by adding another column.
Try activity 2, to test the extent of your understanding on how to compute for the <cf.

Ms. Quorona has (e)_____ apples. She gave (c)____ apples to her siblings and (a)_____ apple to
her father Quaranto. Her friend, Jessie Q received (d)____ apples from his uncle Sonnytoz and gave
(b)____ apples to Ms. Quorona because he admires her very much.
Since we know already how to compute the lower boundary and less than cumulative frequency, you
are now ready to calculate quartiles, deciles, percentiles and percentile rank. Let us focus first on
quartiles. Consider the second example below. Refer to table 3.
Example 2. The table below shows the scores in a 50-item quiz of 60 students in Mathematics.

MATHEMATICS 10
One way to locate numerical data in a distribution that is useful in many applications of
statistics is through the use of fractiles or quantiles, commonly referred to as percentiles, deciles and
quartiles. The following descriptions are often heard or read:
Sometimes, it is more interesting and more useful to know where an item of a set of ranked
data is located than the value itself. Percentiles, deciles or quartiles are used to locate an item in a
distribution.
The learner solves problems involving measures of position. (M10SP-IVd-e-1), (Q4/Wk 4-5)
Directions
Have a nice day, learner! On this activity sheet, you will find examples of problems that involve
measures of position. The tasks that follow are designed for you. Wear a smile as you solve these. If
you encounter difficulty in doing any of the activities, feel free to approach your teacher who is just a
message/text away. You may start now! Have a bright day!
Below are situations showing the application of percentile. Study how the problems are solved,
through Mendenhall and Sincich Method or Linear Interpolation Method, then answer the problems
that follow.
Example 1.
The test scores of twenty (20) grade 10 learners in a Probability quiz are the following: 26, 22, 15, 24,
21, 28, 19, 18, 24, 29, 14, 18, 25, 27, 24, 25, 16, 23, 21, 20. The teacher decided to pass every
learner who gets a percentile rank of 70 or higher. What is the lowest score in the test results that
gets a passing mark?
Step 1: arrange the data in 14, 15, 16, 18, 18, 19, 20, 21, 21, 22, 23, 24, 24,
increasing order 24, 25, 26, 26, 27, 28, 29
Step 2: determine the values of k and k = 70 n
n = 20
Step 3: find P70 position Position of P70 = 70 (20+1)
= 14.7
100
Step 4: interpolate (since the result 14th element: 24
in step 3 is decimal) 15th element: 25
a) get the difference between the 25 – 24 = 1
14th and the 15th elements
b) multiply the difference by the 1(0.7) = 0.7
decimal part obtained in step 3
0.7 + 24 = 24.7
c) add the result in (b) to the smaller
P70 = 24.7
number (14th element)
Answer: Since nobody got 24.7, then the lowest score that gets a passing mark is 25.
Exercises: It’s your turn now, dear learner. Use the applicable method, Mendenhall and Sincich Method,
or Linear Interpolation Method to solve the problems. Enjoy the task!

Directions: Below is an example of analyzing results of study using mean and measures of position.
Study the given example and give what is asked.
Example: Minie is asked to study the results of the scores of her 20 classmates in their summative test
in Mathematics 10 using measures of position. Study the steps followed by Minie to study
the results.
Step 1. Minie constructed a table to represent the scores of her group mates. Table 1.1
Scores of the students
67 69 70 82
62 68 73 77
69 65 65 65
61 60 74 65
83 78 81 61
Step 2. She organized the data in frequency distribution table. Table 1.2.

third quartile and percentile rank of 75.
a. To get the mean or average, simply add the scores then divide it to the total number of
students who took the exam. x̅ = Σ 𝑥, where Σ𝑥 is sum of 𝑥 and N is number of data. x̅ = Σ𝑥
=
1,395
= 69.75
N N 20
Thus, = 15 (This means that you need to find the class interval where
the 15th score is contained.)
𝑄3 = 69.5 + ( )5
𝑄3 = 69.5 + ( ) 5
𝑄3 = 69.5 + 5
𝑄3 = 74.5 (This means, 75% of the students got a score
less than or equal to 74.5)
Step 4. Minie solved the percentile rank of the score 75 using the same frequency distribution table.
a. Identify the values basing from the table and the given score.

Activity 3.
Students’ answer may vary.
What do you do when you are lost? Can you use tools like compass and GPS to figure out where you
are and how to get where you are going? In statistics, there are ways to figure out where a data point
or set falls called measures of position. Once you know where a data set is, you can figure out what
to do with it.
Measures of position are statistical techniques that divide a set of data into equal groups.
These are used for quantitative data that falls on some numerical scale. Sometimes, measures can be
applied to ordinal variables – those variables that have an order like first, second, …, fiftieth.
In this learning activity sheet, you will learn how to analyze, interpret and solve problems
involving measures of position such as Quartiles, Deciles and Percentiles. More importantly, you will
deal with real life problems on measures of position and learn how to interpret the results.
The learner uses appropriate measures of position and other statistical methods in analyzing
and interpreting research data (M10SP-IVh-j-1).
Directions
The following are series of activities that will guide you in using appropriate measures of
position and other statistical methods in analyzing and interpreting research data. Perform each
activity and you will be rated through the given rubrics. You may search on the internet if you
encounter unfamiliar terminologies and concepts for better understanding. You may also contact your
teacher if necessary.

Example:
In a 50-item test in Mathematics, the scores of 25 students are illustrated in the table of distribution
below. Find the values of the following measures of position and interpret the results:
(1) Q1 (2) D5 (3) P85
Solutions:
1) To find Q1;
Q1 class = 1N
4
This means we need to find the class interval where the 6.25score is
contained using the set of cumulative frequencies. Thus, th
6.25th score can be found on the class interval (26 – 30) with
cumulative frequency of 8 where Q1 can also be found.
Q1 class = 6.25
LB = 25.5 (Subtract 0.5 from the lower number in the class interval which is 26. Thus,
LB = 26 – 0.5 = 25.5)
6.25 – 5
Q1 = 25.5 + 5 (Substitute the given values to the given formula)
3
25% for Q1
50% for Q2
75% for Q3
Q1 = 27.58 (Simplify)
D5 class = 5N 10
This means we need to find the class interval where the 12.5 th score
is contained using the set of cumulative frequencies. Thus, 12.5 th
score can be found on the class interval (36 – 40) with cumulative
frequency of 20 where D5 can also be found.
D 5 class = 12.5
LB = 35.5 (Subtract 0.5 from the lower number in the class interval which is 36. Thus,
LB = 36 – 0.5 = 35.5)
12.5 – 11
D5 = 35.5 + 5 (Substitute the given values to the given formula)
9
D5 = 35.67 (Simplify)
To solve for P10 class, use 10N To solve for P60 class, use 60N

To solve for P40 class, use 40N To solve for P90 class, use 90N
100 100
To solve for P50 class, use 50N
100
This means we need to find the class interval where the 21.25 th score
is contained using the set of cumulative frequencies. Thus, 21.25 th
score can be found on the class interval (41 – 45) with cumulative
frequency of 24 where P85 can also be found.
P 85 class = 21.25
b. Solve for P85 using the formula: Where: LB = lower boundary of P85 class
N = total frequency
85N – cfb cfb = cumulative frequency of the
P85 = LB + . 100 . i class below the P85 class
FP85 FP85 = frequency of the P85 class i =
size of the class interval
N = 25
Cfb = 20 (Identify the given)
FP85 = 4
i =5
LB = 40.5 (Subtract 0.5 from the lower number in the class interval which is 41. Thus,
LB = 41 – 0.5 = 40.5)
21.25 – 20
P85 = 40.5 + 5 (Substitute the given values to the given formula)
