Directions: Solve for what is asked in the problem.

1.) Using the following set of data, construct the frequency distribution table.

2.) Compute for the a) 1st Quartile, b) 3rd Quartile, c) 2nd Decile, d) 7th Decile, e) 35th
Percentile and f) 75th Percentile.

Step 1: Arranged the data in ascending order.

100, 100, 100, 100, 101, 101, 103, 110, 111, 111, 111, 114, 120, 120,
120, 120, 120, 121, 121, 121, 121, 122, 124, 124, 126, 130, 130, 130,
131, 132, 132, 133, 133, 140, 140, 140, 140, 140, 141, 141, 144, 144,
144, 144, 144, 150, 151, 151, 151, 154, 155, 156, 157, 165, 175, 175

Step 2: Solve for the range R using this formula.


Based on the data, the R = Highest Score — Lowest Score
highest score/data is 175 R = 175 — 100
and the lowest R = 75
score/data is 100

Step 3: Compute the numbers of intervals n by using this formula.


n = 1 + 3.3log N N = represents the total number of data (56)
n = 1 + 3.3log (56) n = number of class intervals
n = 6.769
n = 7

Step 4: Compute for the class size i using this formula.


i = R
n i = represents the
Interval, round off to the
i = 75 nearest whole number.
7

i = 10.714

i = 11
Step 5: Make the class interval start from the bottom/lowest data.
Count 11 units from the lowest data. So;

Step 6: When the n number of class intervals is completed,


determine frequency for each class interval by counting the elements.
