1. Calculate Percentile deviation, Coefficient of P.D., Interpercentile range from the following grouped data
Solution:Percentile deviation :`x` | Frequency `f` | `cf` |
0 | 1 | 1 |
1 | 5 | 6 |
2 | 10 | 16 |
3 | 6 | 22 |
4 | 3 | 25 |
--- | --- | --- |
| `n = 25` | -- |
Here, `n = 25`
`P_10 = ((10(n+1))/100)^(th)` value of the observation
`=((10*26)/100)^(th)` value of the observation
`=(2.6)^(th)` value of the observation
`=1`
`P_90 = ((90(n+1))/100)^(th)` value of the observation
`=((90*26)/100)^(th)` value of the observation
`=(23.4)^(th)` value of the observation
`=4`
InterPercentile range `=P_90 - P_10=4-1=3`
Percentile deviation `=(P_90 - P_10)/2=(4-1)/2=3/2=1.5` (Semi-InterPercentile range)
Coefficient of Percentile deviation `=(P_90 - P_10)/(P_90 + P_10)=(4-1)/(4+1)=3/5=0.6`
