If you have the x-th percentile, the index from a sample of size n that corresponds to it is k := max { i - natural | i <= x*n/100 }. Algorithmically, this is to sort the array and take the element k := floor(x*n/100).

What percentile is 34 out of 375?

A percentile depends on the distribution of the observations, not the total number of observations.


What does percentile mean?

Let x be a real number, such that 0 < x < 100. x-th percentile from a sample of n is number k such that k max(i - natural number | i < x.n/100).


How can we convert 75 percentile into percent?

You cannot. The 75th percentile is the value of a variable such that 75% of the observations are below that value and 25% are higher. The 75th percentile in the heights of adult women will be a measure of height whereas the 75th percentile in the income distribution in a country will be the level of income [in some currency unit] such that 75% of incomes in the country are lower. These examples illustrate that the 75th percentile can be a measurement in any unit and converting to a percentage makes no sense.


How do you determine the 95th percentile?

To determine the 95th percentile of a data set, first, arrange the data points in ascending order. Then, calculate the index for the 95th percentile using the formula ( P = \frac{95}{100} \times (N + 1) ), where ( N ) is the total number of data points. If the index is not a whole number, round it up to the nearest whole number to find the corresponding value in the ordered list. This value represents the 95th percentile, meaning that 95% of the data points fall below it.

If a students rank in a class of 500 students is 165 what is the students percentile tank?

To calculate the percentile rank of a student, you can use the formula: Percentile Rank = (Number of students below the student / Total number of students) × 100. In this case, there are 164 students below the student (500 - 165). Thus, the percentile rank is (164 / 500) × 100 = 32.8. Therefore, the student's percentile rank is approximately the 33rd percentile.

Is 61-70 the 75th percentile out of 100?

Oh honey, bless your heart. The 75th percentile means that 75% of the data falls below that number. So, if you have 100 data points, the 75th percentile would actually be the 75th number in order. In this case, 61-70 would be the 70th percentile, not the 75th.

How do you convert percentage to percentile?

You would need to know how many questions were on the original test and what number of questions correct would be in the 8.6 percentile. Most tests do not give this data. If you can find it out, then number right / total number on test x 100 gives the percentage. 50 percentile might mean a 70% if it was an average test, or for a hard test 10 percentile might mean a 30%. Without the above information you cannot directly convert one to the other.

What is 20th percentile quantitative?

The 20th percentile is an estimate of the value in which 20% of the observations should fall below this value and 80% should be above it. Methods vary on the calculations, but all methods will give similar results if there are a large number of values. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile
