 LB = lower boundary of the nth percentile class
N = total frequency
cfp = cumulative frequency of all the values below the critical value
P = raw score or value for which one wants to find a percentile
rank
i = size of class interval
PR = percentile rank, the answer will be a percentage
fp = frequency of the critical value

Example Below are the Mathematics test scores of 50 students. Calculate

the Q1,

47 36 44 39 37 37 45 40 38 43
31 26 40 35 32 42 49 28 29 39

32 28 42 21 40 41 43 24 25 23

Calculate the following:

1. Q1
2. D7
3. P65
4. Find how many percent of the scores are greater than the
cumulative frequency of 38 in the table?

21-25 6 20.5 6

SOLUTIONS:

Solution No. 1:
� 50
Q1 class: 4 = 4 = 12.5
This means we need to find the class interval where the 12.5th score
is contained. ��

Therefore, 25% of the students have a score less than or equal to
28.21.

Solution No. 2:
7� 7(50) 350
D7 class: 10 = 10 = 10 = 35
This means we need to find the class interval where the 35th score
is contained.

Therefore, 70% of the students have a score less than or equal to
39.14.

Solution No. 3:
65� 65(50) 3, 250
P65 class: 100 = 100 = 100
= 32.5

This means we need to find the class interval where the 32.5th score
is contained.

P65=38

Therefore, 65% of the students got a score less than or equal to 38.

Solution No. 4:
38 is within 36-40

P PR= 2 + 5.5 + 27
P PR= 2 + ( 32.5)
P PR= 34.5 or 35

Therefore, 35% of the scores are less than the cumulative frequency
of 38, while 65% of the scores are greater than the cumulative
frequency of 38.
Activity Rengel and Leyan got a final grade of 92 and 90 respectively. To pass for
a scholarship in senior high school, they should be a part of the Top 10 of
their graduating class. The table below shows the final grades of their
class.

Final Frequency ( f ) LB <cf

Grades

95-99 4

90-94 12

85-89 23

80-84 20

75-79 1

1. Complete the table by filling the values of LB (lower boundaries) and

<cf (less than cumulative frequency).

2. Calculate the following:

a. 1st quartile

b. 7th decile

c . 75th percentile

3. What is the percentile rank of Rengel? Leyan?

4. Based on their percentile ranks, will Rengel and Leyan receive a

scholarship?

ANSWER KEY
2. a) Q1=83
b) D7=89.07
c) P75=89.92
3. a) Rengel’s percentile rank= 51.67% or 52%
b) Leyan’s percentile rank= 46.87% or 47%
4. After calculating, it is clear that Rengel and Leyan are not within the top 10
in their class. Therefore, they will note receive a scholarship for senior high
school.
