SUPPORTING PARAGRAPHS
CONCLUSION
Specifically, the study will answer the following:
a. What is the frequency distribution of the scores of the Grade 10 STEM students in their
summative examination on Basic Calculus?
b. How many students passed the summative examination if the passing score belongs to
the third quartile?
c. What is the 5th decile score and 95th percentile score of the results in the summative
examination of G10 STEM class?
Table 1: Frequency Distribution Table on the scores of G10 STEM class
in their Summative Exam on Basic Calculus.
Score Frequency Lower Boundary Cumulative Frequency
70 – 74 2 69.5 30
65 – 69 4 64.5 28
60 – 64 5 59.5 24

50 – 54 5 49.5 11
45 – 49 4 44.5 6

Third Quartile Score:
Determine the position of the third quartile score that is:
𝒌𝑵 𝟑(𝟑𝟎) 𝟗𝟎
Position of Q3 class= 𝟒 = 𝟒 = 𝟒 = 22.5
Less Cumulative
This means we need to find a Score Frequency Lower Boundary
Frequency
class interval where the 22.5th
70 – 74 2 69.5 30
score is contained. Note that the
65 – 69 4 64.5 28
20th to 24th scores belong to the 60 – 64 5 59.5 24
60 - 64 class interval, thus the 55 – 59 8 54.5 19
22.5th score also contained therein. 50 – 54 5 49.5 11
45 – 49 4 44.5 6
40 – 44 2 39.5 2
Hence,
Compute for 𝑄3:
𝒌𝑵 𝟑(𝟑𝟎)
−𝒄𝒇𝒃 − 𝟏𝟗 𝟐𝟐. 𝟓 − 𝟏𝟗
𝑸𝒌 = 𝑳𝑩 + 4 𝑖 𝟒
= 𝟓𝟗. 𝟓 + 𝟓 = 𝟓𝟗. 𝟓 + 𝟓
𝒇 𝑸𝒌 𝟓 𝟓
𝟑. 𝟓
= 𝟓𝟗. 𝟓 +
𝟓
𝟓 = 𝟓𝟗. 𝟓 + 𝟎. 𝟕 𝟓 = 𝟓𝟗. 𝟓 + 𝟑. 𝟓 = 𝟔𝟑
Fifth Decile Score:
Determine the position of the fifth decile score that is:
𝒌𝑵 𝟓 𝟑𝟎 𝟏𝟓𝟎
Position of D5 class = = = =15
𝟏𝟎 𝟏𝟎 𝟏𝟎
𝒌𝑵 𝟓(𝟑𝟎)
−𝒄𝒇𝒃 − 𝟏𝟏 𝟏𝟓 − 𝟏𝟏
𝑫𝒌 = 𝑳𝑩 + 10 𝑖 = 𝟓𝟒. 𝟓 + 𝟏𝟎 𝟓 = 𝟓𝟒. 𝟓 + 𝟓
𝒇 𝑫𝒌 𝟖 𝟖
𝟒
= 𝟓𝟒. 𝟓 + 𝟓 = 𝟓𝟒. 𝟓 + 𝟎. 𝟓 𝟓
𝟖
= 𝟓𝟒. 𝟓 + 𝟐. 𝟓 = 𝟓𝟕
This means that half of the class obtained a score less than or equal to 57 while the
other half got a score greater than or equal to 57.
Ninety-fifth Percentile Score:
Determine the position of the ninety-fifth percentile score that is:
𝒌𝑵 𝟗𝟓(𝟑𝟎) 𝟐𝟖𝟓𝟎
Position of P95 class = = = = 28.5
𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝟏𝟎𝟎
This means we need to

Score Frequency Lower Boundary
Frequency
28.5th score is contained.
Note that the 29th to 30th 70 – 74 2 69.5 30
65 – 69 4 64.5 28
scores belong to the 70 - 74 60 – 64 5 59.5 24
class interval, thus the 28.5th 55 – 59 8 54.5 19
score also contained therein. 50 – 54 5 49.5 11
45 – 49 4 44.5 6
40 – 44 2 39.5 2
Hence,
Compute for P95:
𝒌𝑵 𝟗𝟓(𝟑𝟎)
−𝒄𝒇𝒃 − 𝟐𝟖 𝟐𝟖. 𝟓 − 𝟐𝟖
𝑷𝒌 = 𝑳𝑩 + 100 𝑖 = 𝟔𝟗. 𝟓 + 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝟓 = 𝟔𝟗. 𝟓 + 𝟓
𝒇𝑷𝒌 𝟐 𝟐
𝟎. 𝟓
= 𝟔𝟗. 𝟓 + 𝟓 = 𝟔𝟗. 𝟓 + 𝟎. 𝟐𝟓 𝟓
𝟐
= 𝟔𝟗. 𝟓 + 𝟏. 𝟐𝟓 = 𝟕𝟎. 𝟕𝟓 ≈ 71
This means that 95% of the class obtained a score less than or equal to 71 while
the remaining 5% obtained a score higher than 71.
The analysis of the data obtained in this mini-research shows
that the minimum score needed to pass the summative higher than
71 is 63. Hence, 75% of the class failed while the upper 25% passed
the summative higher than 71. It can also be noted that the median
score is 57. This means that 50% of the class got scores below or
equal to 57 and the other 50% got scores higher than 57. Moreover,
students who got scores higher than 71 are part of the upper 5% of
the class.
It helps in knowing where the obtained score of a study
or experiment belongs to.
