MODE, FIRST QUARTILE, THIRD QUARTILE, 60TH PERCENTILE
AND 88TH PERCENTILE

WORKING EXPRESSION:
a) Minimum Marks: The smallest value among all observations.
b) Maximum Marks: The largest value among all observations.
c) Arithmetic Mean: The ratio of sum of all observations to the total
number of observations is called arithmetic mean. It is denoted by
x and given by:

Mean (x)=(∑ )n
x

Where:
∑ x = Sum of all observations.
n = Total number of observations.

d) Median: The middle value when the data is arranged in ascending

order. It is denoted by M d .

Position of M d= ( n+12 ) th term

 e) Mode: The value that appears maximum times in the given data.
f) First Quartile: The value of ordered set of data which has 25% of
data below, it is called first quartile. It is denoted by and given by
(individual series).

Position of Q1= ( n+14 ) th term

g) Third Quartile: The value of ordered set of data, which has 25%
of data above, is called third quartile. It is denoted by Q3 and given
by (individual series).

Position of Q3=3 ( n+14 ) th term

h) Percentile: a percentile is a value below which a certain
percentage of the data lies. (individual series).

CALCULATION:
a) Manual Calculation
Given Data
23, 22, 19, 18.5, 15, 16.5, 12, 11, 10, 5, 6, 7,11, 12, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20,
13.5, 14.5, 15, 16, 18, 15.5, 14.5, 18.5, 18.5, 12.5, 18, 4, 5.5, 7.5, 24
Arranged in Ascending Order:
4, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 7.5, 10, 11, 11, 12, 12, 12.5, 13.5, 14.5, 14.5, 15, 15, 15,
15.5, 16, 16.5, 17, 18, 18, 18, 18.5, 18.5, 19, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24
(n = 33)
a) Minimum Marks = 4
b) Maximum Marks = 24
c) For arithmetic Mean,
 Mean (x)= (∑ ) =

So, the median is 17 th term among observations.
