What is the same as the 50th percentile of a distribution?

The Median is the same as the 50th percentile of a distribution.


Find z score for normal distribution for 50th percentile?

Answer: 0 The z score is the value of the random variable associated with the standardized normal distribution (mean = 0, standard deviation =1). Now, the median and the mean of a normal distribution are the same. The 50 percentile z score = the median = mean = 0.


Is the median is the same thing as the 50th percentile?

Only if the dataset (distribution) you are dealing with in symmetric.


Is the 80th percentile the same as the 0.2th quantile?

No. No. No. No.


How do you find percentiles when given standard deviation and mean?

Each standard deviation represents a certain percentile. So if we use two decimal places, −3 is the 0.13th percentile, −2 the 2.28th percentile, −1 the 15.87th percentile, 0 the 50th percentile , +1 the 84.13th percentile, +2 the 97.72th percentile, and +3 the 99.87th percentile.The mean, median and mode are all the same it the distribution is normal.BUT WHY DOES THIS WORK? HOW DO YOU DO IT?The main idea to make all this work and understandable is that the area under the normal curve is one. So if you have a SD and a mean, you can find the z score.Then, using a calculator, or a table, or even sometimes just some rules you may have learned like the empirical rule, you can find the area to the left or right of any given z score. This area is actually a percentile!So for example, if convert a data point to a z - score using the mean and standard deviation ( The formula is z=(x-mean)/standard deviation, by the way), and I look up the probability of that z-score, and say it is .25. Then it is the 25th percentile.The table below gives you all the percentiles and their corresponding z scores.z-score percentile for normal distributionPercentilez-ScorePercentilez-ScorePercentilez-Score1-2.32634-0.412670.442-2.05435-0.385680.4683-1.88136-0.358690.4964-1.75137-0.332700.5245-1.64538-0.305710.5536-1.55539-0.279720.5837-1.47640-0.253730.6138-1.40541-0.228740.6439-1.34142-0.202750.67410-1.28243-0.176760.70611-1.22744-0.151770.73912-1.17545-0.126780.77213-1.12646-0.1790.80614-1.0847-0.075800.84215-1.03648-0.05810.87816-0.99449-0.025820.91517-0.954500830.95418-0.915510.025840.99419-0.878520.05851.03620-0.842530.075861.0821-0.806540.1871.12622-0.772550.126881.17523-0.739560.151891.22724-0.706570.176901.28225-0.674580.202911.34126-0.643590.228921.40527-0.613600.253931.47628-0.583610.279941.55529-0.553620.305951.64530-0.524630.332961.75131-0.496640.358971.88132-0.468650.385982.05433-0.44660.412992.326

Is the 50th percentile of a distribution the same as the distribution mean?

Mean = average and median = the middle value in an array of all values received. So to answer your question the 50th percentile of a distribution is the same as median.

What does being in the 40 percentile mean?

being in the 40 percentile means that 40 percent of the population is the same as you are in this particular factor. This means that 60 percent of the population is different.


Difference between mean and expected value?

For a population the mean and the expected value are just two names for the same thing. For a sample the mean is the same as the average and no expected value exists.

No. The expected value is the mean!

Can mean and median ever have the same value?

Yes because if the numbers are all the same they can be both mean and median but they do not have to be the same.


Equal what that mean?

It means having the same value.
