Decile For Ungrouped Data

The document discusses deciles, which divide a data distribution into 10 equal parts. Deciles (D1, D2, etc.) are calculated similarly to quartiles by finding the score points that split the data into 10 groups of equal size. Three examples are provided to demonstrate how to calculate specific deciles from sets of data and interpret what they mean.

MEASUREMEMNT OF

POSITION:
DECILE
Decile……

• The deciles are the nine score points which divide


a distribution into ten equal parts.
• They are denoted as D1, D2, D3,…, D9.

• They are computed in the same way that the


quartile are calculated.
Enumerate your
grades in
MATHEMATICS
from 1st Quarter to
3rd Quarter.
D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 D8 D9
Base on the data given
solve for D1,D2,D3,D4,
D7,D8,D9.
Example 1:
Find the 3rd defile or D3 of the following test scores of a random sample
of ten students:
35, 42, 40,28,15,23,33,20,18 and 28.

Solution:
First, arrange the scores in ascending order.
15 18 20 23 28 28 33 35 40 42
Steps to find decile value on a data with n
elements:
To find its D3 position, use the formula and round off to the nearest
integer.
Position of D3 = )
=
=
=3.3 3

D3 is the 3rd
element.
Therefore, D3 =
20.
Example 2:
Mrs. Labored gave a test to her students in Statistics. The students
finished their test in 35 minutes. This time is the 2.5th defile of the
allotted time. What does this mean?
This means that 25% of the learners finished
the test. A low quartile considered good,
because it means the students finished the test
in a short period of time.
70% of the employees receive a salary that is less than
or equal to his salary and 30% of the employees Ooh!
receive a salary that is greater than his salary. Anthony Thegeni
should be pleased with his salary. us is late
again!

Example 3:
Anthony is a secretary in one big company
in Metro Manila. His salary is in the 7th decile. Should
Anthony be glad about his salary or not?
Explain your answer.
