Quartiles For Grouped Data (LP)
OR
1. 𝐷90 = 𝑃9
𝑘
2. 𝑄𝑘 = 4 (1 + 𝑛)
3. 𝑃100 is the highest percentile.
4. If the position of the 36th percentile is 7.8, then interpolation is not
needed.
5. The first step of interpolation is summation.
Title: Jigsaw Puzzle
Directions:
ACTIVITY 1. The class will be divided into five groups.
2. A twelve-piece jigsaw puzzle will be given to each group. (The
puzzles have words that are related to the new topic.)
3. Each group should solve the puzzle within two minutes.
4. After solving the puzzles, each group should write the word/s that
is on the solved puzzle that they have.
The words that will be written on the board will be discussed with the
whole class.
How did you find the activity?
Which of the following groups of words do you think should come
first?
ANALYSIS
What should be the arrangement of those groups of words for it to
have a complete thought?
What concept do we have with these words?
In computing the quartiles of grouped data, the following formula is used:

Example:
Calculate 𝑄1 ,𝑄2 , and 𝑄3 of the Mathematics test scores of 50 students.

𝑄1 = 28.21
Therefore, 25% of the students got a score below 28.21.
