Percentiles are statistical measures that indicate the relative standing of a value within a dataset, dividing the data into 100 equal parts. For example, the 25th percentile (also known as the first quartile) is the value below which 25% of the data points fall. Percentiles are commonly used to understand distributions, assess performance, and identify outliers, providing a clearer picture of how a particular data point compares to the rest of the dataset.

How is the process of determining percentiles different if you were given a sample mean rather than individual raw score?
It is impossible to determine the percentiles if you are given only the sample mean since percentiles are a measure of the spread of the data; the mean gives no information on that.

If your son scored 88 in the quiz what was his percentile in the class?
Your question can not be answered. A tally of all scores in the class is necessary. These are then ranked (lowest to highest), and the percentiles identified. For more information, I suggest you look at percentiles under wikipedia.
