Chapter 6 Measures of Position

Measures of position determine where a value falls within a data set relative to other values. There are three main types of quantiles used: quartiles, deciles, and percentiles. Quartiles divide data into four equal parts, deciles divide into ten equal parts, and percentiles divide into 100 equal parts. These measures locate data values within a set without being influenced by outliers, unlike the mean and standard deviation.

CHAPTER 6:

MEASURES OF
POSITION
A measure of position determines
the position of a single value in
relation to other values in a sample
or a population data set. Unlike the
mean and the standard deviation,
descriptive measures based on
quantiles are not sensitive to the
influence of a few extreme
observations.

divided into different equal parts.
• There are three kinds of quantiles:
