Suppose you are at the 70th percentile in the heights of a group of 18 people. Then, which among the
following option(s) is(are) correct?

30% of people are taller than you.

30% of people are shorter than you.

70% of people are shorter than or same height as you.

70% of people are taller than you.

You are the 7th tallest person in the group.

Feedback:

The 70th percentile means that when data is arranged in ascending order, the 70% of the data points
were below your height, and 30% were above your height.

Accepted Answers:

30% of people are taller than you.

70% of people are shorter than or same height as you.

The stem and leaf plot shown in Figure 3.1.P represents the temperatures in centigrade. What is the
stem and leaf representation of temperatures 65oC, 68oC, and 67oC?

5|6
7|6
8|6

6|875

Feedback:

In the stem and leaf plot, we split each of the data point into a stem and a leaf. We order the leaves
such that the smallest appears nearest to the stem and the largest appears farthest away from the
stem. So, the stem and leaf plot for temperatures 650C, 680C, and 670C will be 6 | 5 7 8. Hence,
option (b) is correct.
