LESSON PLAN ON MEASURES OF POSITION

ON GROUPED DATA

Content Standard: The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of measures of

position
Performance Standard: The Learner is able to investigate thoroughly the mathematical
relationship in situations, formulate real-life problems involving measure of position, and solve
them using a variety of strategies.

I. OBJECTIVE:
At the end of the lesson, at least 75% of the class should be able to calculate a specified
measure of position of a set of data.
Subtask: Calculate a specified measure of position of a set data in decile and percentile.
II. SUBJECT MATTER:
Topic: Deciles and Percentiles for Ungrouped Data
M10SP-IVb-1
Reference: Mathematics 10 Learners Materials p. 373-377
Mathematics 10 Teachers Guide p. 328-332
Materials: Visual Aids, etc.
Strategy: Game activity
III. PROCEDURES:

-Preliminaries Activities
1. Prayer
2. Checking of attendance
3. Checking of assignment

-4As Approach
1. Activity
- The teacher will let the students recall the formula in calculating a specific
measure of position in quartiles.

2. Analysis

- The teacher will then pose a question.

 Question: How can the position of data be described and used in solving real
life problems
3. Abstraction
- The teacher will present the concept of deciles.
DECILES FOR UNGROUPED DATA
The DECILES are nine score-points that divide a distribution into ten equal parts.
- they are deciles and are denoted as D1, D2, D3,, D9
- they are computed in the same way that the quartiles are calculated.

Example

Suppose we want to find the 3rd decile D3 of the following test scores of a random
sample of 10 students.

35 42 40 28 15 23 33 20 18 28 15 18 20 23 28 28 33 35 40 42

D3 is the 3rd element.

Therefore, D3 is 20.

PERCENTILES of UNGROUPED DATA

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. It is used to characterize values
according to the percentage below them.
The percentiles determine the value for 1%, 2%,, and 99% of the data. P30 or 30th percentile of the data
means 30% of the data have values less than or equal to P30.

Example

Suppose we want to find the 30th percentile P30 of the following test scores of a random sample of
10 students.

35 42 40 28 15 23 33 20 18 28 15 18 20 23 28 28 33 35 40 42

To find P30 position, use the formula k n 1 and round off to the nearest integer.
