Measure of Relative Position for
Ungrouped Data
MEASURES OF RELATIVE POSITION :
When presenting or analyzing data sets it is sometimes helpful to group subjects
into several equal groups.
A measure of relative position tells where data values fall within the ordered set.
When data is arranged in either ascending order or descending order, it can be
divided into various parts by different values such as quartiles, deciles,
and percentiles. These values are collectively called Quantiles and are the
extension of the median formula which divides the data into two equal parts.
The measures of the relative position that we will calculate are the Quartiles,
Deciles, Percentiles, and the Standard Score.
