1. Calculate Octile-5 from the following grouped data
Solution:| `x` | Frequency `f` | `cf` |
| 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 5 | 6 |
| 2 | 10 | 16 |
| 3 | 6 | 22 |
| 4 | 3 | 25 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `n = 25` | -- |
Here, `n = 25`
`"Octile"_5 = ((5(n+1))/8)^(th)` value of the observation
`=((5*26)/8)^(th)` value of the observation
`=(16.25)^(th)` value of the observation
`=3`
2. Calculate Octile-3 from the following grouped data
| X | Frequency |
| 10 | 3 |
| 11 | 12 |
| 12 | 18 |
| 13 | 12 |
| 14 | 3 |
Solution:| `x` | Frequency `f` | `cf` |
| 10 | 3 | 3 |
| 11 | 12 | 15 |
| 12 | 18 | 33 |
| 13 | 12 | 45 |
| 14 | 3 | 48 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `n = 48` | -- |
Here, `n = 48`
`"Octile"_3 = ((3(n+1))/8)^(th)` value of the observation
`=((3*49)/8)^(th)` value of the observation
`=(18.375)^(th)` value of the observation
`=12`
