Measures of

Positions: Quartile
of Ungrouped Data
 Group Activity
Five students are standing in line. Loida is
not the last. Tonette is directly ahead of
Angie. Jay-jay has a girl directly in front of
him and directly behind him. Jezlyn is not
last. Jay-jay is somewhere ahead of Angie.
Name the students in order from first to last.

The group to answer the problem correctly

earns 10 points.
Measures of Position
- are techniques that divide a
set of data into equal groups
- the different measures of
positions are quartile, decile
and percentile
Quartile
- are the three values of the
variable that divide an ordered
data set into four equal parts
Presentation on how to compute
quartile value of an ungrouped
data using Linear Interpolation.
Mrs. Cottingham held a Scrabble
competition among selected students in
Grade 10 Soriano. The following are the
scores of the participants after the event:
24 23 27 28 33 35 29 32 36
38
Find the following then interpret the
results:
1. lower quartile
2. second quartile
 The Quartile for Ungrouped Data
The quartiles are the score points which
divide a distribution into four equal parts.
Twenty-five percent (25%) of the distribution are
below the first quartile, fifty percent (50%) are
below the second quartile, and seventy-five
percent (75%) are below the third quartile. Q1is
called the lower quartile and Q3is the upper
quartile. Q1<Q2<Q3, where Q2is the median.
a. 25% of the data has a value ≤ Q1
b. 50% of the data has a value ≤ X or Q2
c. 75% of the data has a value ≤ Q3
Formula:
Position of Qk=
k4(n+1)
wherein k = nthpartition
n= number of cases
a. First, arrange the scores in ascending order.
b. Second, locate the position of the score in
the distribution.
If the result is a decimal number, interpolation is
needed.
c. Third, interpolate the value to obtain the 1st
quartile.
 Steps of Interpolation
Step 1: Subtract the 2nd data from
the 3rd data.
Step 2: Multiply the result by the
decimal part obtained in the second
step (Position of Q1).
Step 3: Add the result in step 2, to
the 2nd or smaller number.
Solve for Q1, Q2 and Q3. Interpret your answer.
The following data give the accumulated number
of hours spent by 16 students of Grade 10 Lara in
doing their assignments and projects last week:
Student No. of Hours Student No. of Hours
A 7 I 18
B 9 J 15
C 7 K 9
D 10 L 8
E 12 M 3
F 5 N 13
G 11 O 8
H 11 P 9
 Survey Says...
-Group students into 5
-Give each a show-me-board, chalk
and eraser
-Survey questions will be asked,
students will have to guess the top
answer to the survey.

 Guided Questions
What is a survey?
Why do we conduct survey?
What do these gathered data tell us?
How do we relate this to math?
Did you know that we were using
statistics?
Now what is statistics?
Watch a video about statistics

List as many terms as possible

that were mentioned in the video
and their definitions
 Group Activity
-Through lottery method, assign a
statistical term to be defined by each
group.
Statistical Terms:
VARIABLES
DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
INFERENTIAL STATISTICS
POPULATION
SAMPLE
 Group Presentation

Follow up discussion
Differentiate descriptive statistics
from inferential statistics.
Determine the population, sample
and variable from the given data.
STATISTICS – collection and
interpretation of data; use to
measure and analyze variability
VARIABLES- is a characteristic of
interest measurable on each and
every individual in the universe
-what we measure to each
individual
DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS – deals
with the method of organizing,
summarizing and presenting a mass
of data so as to yield meaningful
information
INFERENTIAL STATISTICS – taking a
sample and analyzing the sample to
make judgment or claims about a
population.
POPULATION – total amount
of things
- Set of all individuals under
study
SAMPLE – refers to a small
part of the population that is
used for study
A. Identify the word/s refer to the following:
1. It refers to a small part of the population that is
used for study.
2. It refers to a characteristic of interest
measurable on each and every individual in the
universe.
3. It refers to the collection and interpretation of
data; use to measure and analyze variability.
4. It refers to the set of all individuals under study.
5. It refers to taking a sample and analyzing the
sample to make judgment or claims about a
population.
B. Identify the population and variable from the
given data.
1. A group of students taking Statistics
conducted a study on the effect of boy-girl
relationship to the academic performance of the
students.
2. From all students registered this semester,
the Mathematics Department would like to know
how many students like mathematics.
3. Information will be collected to new voters
from 2020 election to identify their opinion
regarding politics in the Philippines.
