D4 =

Formula:

D4 = 14.5

Percentile Group =
(

Percentile =

= 14th

3. P70 =

L = Lower Limit of the Group

i=Centile N = Summation of f

P70 = 18

cf = cf BELOW the group

Solve for P37

k = Quartile = Divided by 4
Decile = Divided by 10
Percentile = Divided by 100

III. Percentile Rank

W = Class width

Step 1 = Arrange the Data

in Asending order

Q2 =

Step 2 = Count the number

of cases BELOW the
given case to be ranked

= 10th

1. (Closest is class 14-16

because cf is until the 12th
Value)

Q2 =

Q2 = 15.5
2. D4 =

= 8th value

Step 3 = Divide by the

number of cases
There are 10 cases in test
III, divide the number of
cases below the given by
10 and multiply by 100,
that is the Percentile Rank

fd = f of the class before

the modal group

IV.

fc = f of the class after the

modal group

Mean =
Median =

then find the

closest cf to find the

Median Group
then

L= lower limits
cf = cf BEFORE the
median group
f = f of the median group

Mo = Modal Group =
Class with highest f
then
(

L = Lower Limits
fm = f of the modal group
