Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. 2.5 Measures of Position

3 Measures of position are used to describe the position a specific data value possesses in relation to the rest of the data when in ranked order. Quartiles and percentiles are two of the most popular measures of position. Quartiles Values of the variable that divide the ranked data into quarters; each set of data has three quartiles. The first quartile, Q 1, is a number such that at most 25% of the data are smaller in value than Q 1 and at most 75% are larger. The second quartile is the median.

4 Measures of Position The third quartile, Q 3, is a number such that at most 75% of the data are smaller in value than Q 3 and at most 25% are larger. (See Figure 2.24.) The procedure for determining the values of the quartiles is the same as that for percentiles and is shown in the following description of percentiles. Remember that your data must be ranked from low (L) to high (H). Figure 2.24 Quartiles

5 Measures of Position Percentiles Values of the variable that divide a set of ranked data into 100 equal subsets; each set of data has 99 percentiles (see Figure 2.25). Figure 2.25 Percentiles

6 Measures of Position The kth percentile, P k, is a value such that at most k% of the data are smaller in value than P k and at most (100 – k)% of the data are larger (see Figure 2.26). Figure 2.26 kth Percentile

7 Measures of Position Notes 1. The first quartile and the 25th percentile are the same; that is, Q 1 = P 25. Also, Q 3 = P The median, the second quartile, and the 50th percentile are all the same: = Q 2 = P 50. Therefore, when asked to find P 50 or Q 2, use the procedure for finding the median.

8 Measures of Position Figure 2.27 Finding P k Procedure

9 Example 12 – Finding Quartiles and Percentiles Using the sample of 50 elementary statistics final exam scores listed in Table 2.15, find the first quartile, Q 1 ; the 58th percentile, P 58 ; and the third quartile, Q 3. Table 2.15 Raw Scores for Elementary Statistics Exam [TA02-06]

10 Example 12 – Solution Step 1: Rank the data: A ranked list may be formulated (see Table 2.16), or a graphic display showing the ranked data may be used. Table 2.16 Ranked Data: Exam Scores Figure 2.28 Final Exam Scores

11 Example 12 – Solution The dotplot and the stem-and-leaf display are handy for this purpose. The stem-and-leaf display is especially helpful because it gives depth numbers counted from both extremes when it is computer generated (see Figure 2.28). cont’d Table 2.16 Ranked Data: Exam Scores Figure 2.28 Final Exam Scores

12 Example 12 – Solution Step 1 is the same for all three statistics. Find Q 1 : Step 2: Find (n = 50 and k = 25, since Q 1 = P 25.) Step 3: Find the depth of Q 1 : d(Q 1 ) = 13 (Since 12.5 contains a fraction, B is the next larger integer, 13.) Step 4: Find Q 1 : Q 1 is the 13th value, counting from L (see Table 2.16 or Figure 2.28), Q 1 = 67 cont’d

13 Example 12 – Solution Find P 58 : Step 2: Find (n = 50 and k = 58 for P 58.) Step 3: Find the depth of P 58 : d(P 58 ) = 29.5 (Since A = 29, an integer, add 0.5 and use 29.5.) cont’d

14 Example 12 – Solution Step 4: Find P 58 : P 58 is the value halfway between the values of the 29th and the 30th pieces of data, counting from L (see Table 2.16 or Figure 2.28). cont’d Table 2.16 Ranked Data: Exam Scores Figure 2.28 Final Exam Scores

15 Example 12 – Solution So Therefore, it can be stated that “at most, 58% of the exam grades are smaller in value than 77.5.” This is also equivalent to stating that “at most, 42% of the exam grades are larger in value than 77.5.” Optional technique: When k is greater than 50, subtract k from 100 and use (100 – k) in place of k in Step 2. The depth is then counted from the highest-value data, H. cont’d

16 Example 12 – Solution Find Q 3 using the optional technique: Step 2: Find (n = 50 and k = 75, since Q 3 = P 75, and k > 50; use 100 – k = 100 – 75 = 25.) Step 3: Find the depth of Q 3 from H: d(Q 3 ) = 13 cont’d

17 Example 12 – Solution Step 4: Find Q 3 : Q 3 is the 13th value; counting from H (see Table 2.16 or Figure 2.28), Q 3 = 86 cont’d Table 2.16 Ranked Data: Exam Scores Figure 2.28 Final Exam Scores

18 Example 12 – Solution Therefore, it can be stated that “at most, 75% of the exam grades are smaller in value than 86.” This is also equivalent to stating that “at most, 25% of the exam grades are larger in value than 86.” cont’d

19 Measures of Position Midquartile The numerical value midway between the first quartile and the third quartile.

20 Measures of Position 5-number summary The 5-number summary is composed of the following: 1. L, the smallest value in the data set 2. Q 1, the first quartile (also called P 25, the 25th percentile) 3. the median 4. Q 3, the third quartile (also called P 75, the 75th percentile) 5. H, the largest value in the data set

21 Measures of Position Interquartile range The difference between the first and third quartiles. It is the range of the middle 50% of the data. Box-and-whiskers display A graphic representation of the 5-number summary. The five numerical values (smallest, first quartile, median, third quartile, and largest) are located on a scale, either vertical or horizontal.
