1. Presentation
1. The following is the data obtained by 12 students in summative test scores in
Mathematics 10: 53, ,58, 37, 55,54, 42, 39, 36, 30, 67, 61,68
What is the value of Q 1 using the Mendenhall and Sincich methods? What is your
interpretation?
2. Discussion/Abstraction
Example 1:
Finding the value forQ 1 (Mendenhall and Sincich Method)
Step 1: Arrange the scores: 30, 36, 37, 39, 42, 53, 54, 55, 58, 61, 67, 68 n = 12
Step 2: Solve for the position of Q 1.
1
Q 1= ( n+1 ) Position of Q 1

1
Q1= ( 12+1 ) Substitute the value for n, then simplify

1
Q 1= ( 13 )
4
Q1=3.25
The computed value 3.25 becomes 3 after rounding to the nearest integer since the decimal
part .25 does not fall halfway between the two integers. This means, the lower quartile is the
3rd element of the data, so Q 1=37 .
3. Exercises
Based on the table of scores, if the student got a score of 41, does he belong to the top 25% of
the class?
Scores Frequency

41- 45 8
36- 40 11
31- 35 9
26- 30 12
21- 25 6
Discuss the process to the whole class.
4. Generalization
How are problems involving quartiles interpreted?
5. Application
Felipe says that the mathematics quiz is so difficult. There were 200 students in grade 10 who
took the test, including him. His score is 15 out of 20. His score belonged to the first quartile?
Would you agree with Felipe that the test is difficult?
