Answer:
33 percentile
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the ages:
18, 19, 20, 20, 21, 23, 25, 31, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 47, 50, 51, 55, 55, 58, 59, 62, 62, 64, 66, 69, 70, 70, 70, 71, 71, 72, 74, 74, 75, 77, 80.
We are told to find the percentile corresponding to age 38.
To find the percentile corresponding to age 38 simply means to find the percentage of ages that are less than 38.
From the given values, the number of ages less than 38 are 12. Therefore, the percentile corresponding to age 38 would be:
(Ages less than 38/ total number of ages) * 100
33.333 ≈ 33
The percentile corresponding to age 38 = 33 percentile
