Question

in a dataset with a minimum value of 54.5 and a maximum value of 98.6 with 300 observations, there are 180 points less than 81.2. Find the percentile ofr 81.2

Answer 1

Answer:

60th percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a value V is said to be in the xth percentile of a set, x% of the values in the set are lower than V and (100-x)% of the values in the set are higher than V.

In this problem, we have that:

300 observations, there are 180 points less than 81.2.

180/300 = 0.6

So 60% of the observation are lower than 81.2, which means that 81.2 is the 60th percentile.
