Here I am
• Holding you, a feeling I never outgrew
Though each and every part of me has tried
Only you can fill that space inside
Here, there and everywhere
• To lead a better life
I need my love to be here
• Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
• There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking, but she doesn't know
he's there
I will be here
• Tomorrow morning when you wake up and
the sun does not appear
• I will be here
Where are you now?

• The scores of Miss World candidates from
seven judges were recorded as follows:
• 8.45 9.20 8.56 9.13
• 8.67 8.85 9.17
• Find the 60th percentile or P60 of the judges’
scores.
• What is the P35 of the judges’ scores?
Take note that we don’t interpolate for
deciles and percentiles.
