Questions and Answers

What is the formula to calculate the kth quartile in the measures of position for grouped data?

  • Qk = LB + [(kN/4) - cf]/f × i (correct)
  • Qk = LB + [(kN/4) - cf]/(b × i)
  • Qk = LB + [(kN/4) - cf]/(f × i)
  • Qk = LB + [kN/4 - cf]/(f × i)

What is the formula to calculate the kth decile in the measures of position for grouped data?

  • Dk = LB + [(kN/10) - cf]/f × i
  • Dk = LB + [(10kN/10) - cf]/f × i (correct)
  • Dk = LB + [(10kN) - cf]/f × i
  • Dk = LB + [(kN/10) - cf]/(f × i)

What is the formula to calculate the kth percentile in the measures of position for grouped data?

  • Pk = LB + [(kN) - cf]/f × i
  • Pk = LB + [(100kN) - cf]/f × i
  • Pk = LB + [(kN/100) - cf]/(f × i)
  • Pk = LB + [(kN/100) - cf]/f × i (correct)
