Measure of Position For Group Data

This document provides formulas for calculating measures of position (quartiles, deciles, percentiles) for grouped data from a frequency distribution. It defines the terms used in the formulas such as lower boundary (LB), cumulative frequency (cfb), class interval (i), and class frequency (f). An example is given to demonstrate calculating the first quartile (Q1), sixth decile (D6), and 30th percentile (P30) for a frequency distribution measuring the number of Facebook reactions to students' cover photos.
