2. Calculate Percentile deviation, Coefficient of P.D., Interpercentile range from the following grouped data
X | Frequency |
10 | 3 |
11 | 12 |
12 | 18 |
13 | 12 |
14 | 3 |
Solution:Percentile deviation :`x` | Frequency `f` | `cf` |
10 | 3 | 3 |
11 | 12 | 15 |
12 | 18 | 33 |
13 | 12 | 45 |
14 | 3 | 48 |
--- | --- | --- |
| `n = 48` | -- |
Here, `n = 48`
`P_10 = ((10(n+1))/100)^(th)` value of the observation
`=((10*49)/100)^(th)` value of the observation
`=(4.9)^(th)` value of the observation
`=11`
`P_90 = ((90(n+1))/100)^(th)` value of the observation
`=((90*49)/100)^(th)` value of the observation
`=(44.1)^(th)` value of the observation
`=13`
InterPercentile range `=P_90 - P_10=13-11=2`
Percentile deviation `=(P_90 - P_10)/2=(13-11)/2=2/2=1` (Semi-InterPercentile range)
Coefficient of Percentile deviation `=(P_90 - P_10)/(P_90 + P_10)=(13-11)/(13+11)=2/24=0.0833`
