Study Notes
- This module focuses on measures of position for ungrouped data, including quartiles, deciles, and percentiles.
- The goal is to illustrate these measures, define them, and locate/find them within ungrouped data sets.
Measures of Central Tendency
- The mean, mode, and median are measures of central tendency.
- The mean is the average of the scores.
- The mode identifies the most frequently appearing numbers.
- The median is the middle number when scores are arranged in ascending order.
Measures of Position
- Measures of position indicate where a data point falls in a sample or distribution.
- These measures determine if a value is average, unusually high, or low using quantitative data on a numerical scale.
Quartiles for Ungrouped Data
- Quartiles divide a distribution into 4 equal parts, each representing ¼ (25%) of the data set.
- 25% of the data falls below the first quartile.
- 50% of the data falls below the second quartile (the median).
- 75% of the data falls below the third quartile.
Mendenhall and Sincich Method for Quartiles
- Lower Quartile (L) is found by calculating the position of Q₁ = ¼(n + 1) and rounding to the nearest integer.
- Q₁ is the Lth element; if L falls halfway between integers, round up.
- Upper Quartile (U) is found by calculating the position of Q₃ = ¾(n + 1) and rounding to the nearest integer.
- Q₃ is the Uth element; if U falls halfway between integers, round down.
- The Interquartile Range is the difference between the Upper and Lower quartiles.
Calculating Quartiles: Example
- Arrange the data in ascending order.
- Determine the positions of Q1, Q2, and Q3.
- Use the formulas to find the quartile positions and their corresponding values.
Alternative Method: Interpolation.
- Arrange the data in ascending order.
- Find the position of each quartile.
- If the quartile position is a decimal, interpolate between the two nearest elements.
- Example of formula: Position of Qk = k/4 * (n+1)
Deciles for Ungrouped Data
- Deciles divide a distribution into 10 equal parts.
- Denoted as D1, D2, D3,...D9 and are calculated similarly to quartiles.
- The 1st decile (D₁) is equivalent to the 10th percentile (P10).
Percentiles for Ungrouped Data
- Percentiles divide a distribution into 100 equal parts.
- Indicates the percentage of scores a given value is higher than.
- The first percentile (P₁) separates the lowest 1% from the remaining 99%.
Calculating Percentiles: Example
- Arrange data and find the 40th Percentile.
- Solve using linear interpolation.
- Formula example: Position of Pk = k/100 * (n+1)
