Study Notes
- The module discusses key concepts of measures of position and equips the learner to calculate and interpret these measures for a data set.
Module Breakdown
- Lesson 1 - Quartiles for Ungrouped Data
- Lesson 2 – Deciles for Ungrouped Data
- Lesson 3 – Percentiles for Ungrouped Data
- Lesson 4 – Percentile Rank for Ungrouped Data
Quartiles for Ungrouped Data
- Quartiles divide a distribution into four equal parts.
- The first quartile (Q1) is also known as the lower quartile and 25% of the distribution lies below it.
- The second quartile (Q2) acts as the median, with 50% of the distribution below it.
- The third quartile (Q3), or upper quartile, has 75% of the distribution below it.
- The interquartile range is the difference between the third and first quartiles.
- Median divides the distribution into two equal parts.
- The median formula for odd sets is: Median = ((n+1)/2)th
- The median formula for even sets is: average of (n/2)th and ((n/2) + 1)th
Mendenhall and Sincich Method
- Alternate formula for computing quartiles
- Lower Quartile (L) = Position of Q1 = ¼ (n+1) if not an integer, round up.
- Upper Quartile (U) = Position of Q3 = ¾ (n+1) if not an integer, round down.
Linear Interpolation
- Another technique for computing quartiles
- Position of Q1 = ¼ (n+1)
- Position of Q3 = ¾ (n+1)
Deciles
- Divides a data set into ten equal parts.
- There are nine decile points, labeled D1 to D9.
- D1 means 10 percent of the distribution, while D2 means 20 percent of the distribution, and so forth.
- Computation Formula = Dk = k/10(n+1)
Percentiles
- Divides a set of scores into 100 equal parts
- There are 99 percentiles, from P1 to P99.
- Calculation formula: Position of Pk = k/100 (n + 1)
Percentile Rank
- Indicates the proportion of scores in a distribution that a specific score is greater than or equal to.
- Percentile ranks are expressed from 1 to 99, with 50 being the average.
- The formula: Percentile Rank (x) = ((# of values below x+0.5)/total# of values) * 100%
