 PERCENTILES

- are the scores-points  The cth percentile()

that divide a distribution separates the lowest c%
into a 100 equal parts. from the other (100 -c) %
Each set of data has 99
percentiles.
 PROCEDURE
:
1. Rank the data Where;
n –the sample size
 Start at the lowest value and
c –the desired percentile.
proceed toward the larger
values.
 The value of determines
2. Determine the cth percentile the location of .
 PROCEDURE
:
 If is an integer, add 0.5 to  If is not an integer, lies in the
locate when lies. next larger integer.

EXAMPLE:
EXAMPLE: if = 17 EXAMPLE:
EXAMPLE:
if = 17.1
= 17 + 0.5 ( lies in the 18th term)
=17.5
(lies between 17th and 18th 3. Find by counting over the
terms) ranked data until the value of th
term.
