A. Preliminary Activities
1. Prayer
Please stand everyone for our prayer. Ken
please lead the prayer.
Student: Let us pray as we feel the
presence of our God. Lord God, thank you
for this wonderful day. Thank you for the
blessings we received every day and for the
guidance and protection. We are so sorry
for the sins that we committed. May this
day be a new one to learn and do good
things for others. Amen!
2. Greetings
Good morning class!
Student: Good morning, ma’am!
Before you take your seats please arrange
your chairs properly and pick up the pieces of
 paper and plastic on the floor.
Student: Yes Ma'am!

Student:
The formula in finding the decile: Example 3. Suppose a data set
consists of the following numbers:
k ( n+1 ) 24, 32, 27, 32, 23, 62, 45, 80, 59,
D K= thobservation
10 63, 36, 54, 57, 36, 72, 55, 51, 32,
Let’s solve for this example for you to fully 56, 33, 42, 55, 30. The value of the
understand the decile. first two deciles has to be
calculated. The steps required are
as follows:

The steps required are as follows:

Step 1: Arrange the data in increasing order.
This gives 23, 24, 27, 30, 32, 32, 32, 33, 36,
36, 42, 45, 51, 54, 55, 55, 56, 57, 59, 62, 63,
72, 80.
Step 2: Identify the total number of points.
Here, n = 23
Step 3: Apply the decile formula to calculate
the position of the required data point.

D 1= th observation

24
D 1= th observation

D1=2.4 thobservation

This implies the value of the 2.4th data point

has to be determined. This will lie between
the scores in the 2nd and 3rd positions. In
other words, the 2.4th data is 0.4 of the way
between the scores 24 and 27
Step 4: The value of the decile can be
determined using the linear interpolation
method.
[lower score + (distance)(higher score - lower
score)].
This is given as 24 + 0.4 * (27 – 24) = 25.2
Step 5: Apply steps a 3 and 4 to determine
the rest of the deciles.

Students:

Solution:
Step 1: Arrange the data in increasing order.
This gives ?

Step 2: Identify the total number of points.

Here, n = 23 k ( n+1 )
Student: D K = thobservation

Step 3: Apply the decile formula to calculate
the position of the required data point. N=10
Find the position of D3 using the formula K=3

D3=3.3 observation

Student:
D3=¿ 3rd observation + [0.3 (4th -
3rd)]
Step 4: Since the result is decimal number,
proceed to linear interpolation. D3=¿ 150 + [0.3 (153 -150)]

D3=¿ 150 + [0.3 (3)]

D3=¿ 150 + 0.9

D3=¿ 150.9

This means that 30% of the students’ heights

Student: None Ma’am.
were at or below 150.9 cm.
So that is how we solve for deciles
Student: Yes Ma’am.
Do you have questions?

Write:
A, if the answer in column A is greater
than B.
B, if the answer in column B is greater
than A.
C, if the answer is equal.
D, If the answers cannot be determined.
