example. a baby is in the 30th percentile for weight. that baby is bigger than 29 babies out of 100, and smaller than 69.
Being in the 5th percentile means that in whatever criteria was being measured or tested, the subject in question was equal to or greater than 95% of test subjects (for the top 5th percentile) or equal to or less than 95% of test subjects (for the lower 5th percentile). Usually it refers to the former.
You're smarter than the average bear: IQ around 131 or higher as compared to those your age.
It is the 31st percentile.
It is the value of the variable such that 40 percent of observations are smaller and 60 percent are larger.

For a complete definition of Percentile see the related link. A percentile is the value of a variable below which a certain percent of observations fallThe 90th percentile is typically the point at which 10 percent of the highest scores fall.If you assume that scores are out of 40, and that they are evenly distributed (an unlikely event in real life), then the 90th percentile is all scores above 36.
Yes, the mean (and median and mode) is the 50th percentile of any normal distribution.
A low percentile indicates that a person's score is below that of a certain percentage of the group being compared. For example, being in the 10th percentile means that an individual's score is lower than 90% of the group. It suggests that they are performing worse compared to others in that specific context.
It is the minimum value.
Being in the 5th percentile means that in whatever criteria was being measured or tested, the subject in question was equal to or greater than 95% of test subjects (for the top 5th percentile) or equal to or less than 95% of test subjects (for the lower 5th percentile). Usually it refers to the former.
35% of values lie below the 35th percentile. The median (middle value) is the 50th percentile, 50% lie below it and 50% above.
A 99.6 percentile means that 99.6% of the data in the sample is at or below the data point given.
The 70th percentile is the score below which 70 percent of the cases fall. If your 70th percentile is 56, 70 percent of students scored below 56.

It is the 31st percentile.
40 percent of people score less or are below you and 60 percent are above.
