0.6 1.5 0.1 0.7 2.2 6.1 12.1 0.6 1.9 5.5 11.9 27.5 0.6 1.7 3.3 8.3 13.8 1.3 3.5 9.8
14.6 10.1 14.7 11.8 14.8

Answer 1

Answer:

Thus percentile lies between 53.3% and 55.6 %

Step-by-step explanation:

First we arrange the data in ascending order . Then find the number of the values corresponding to the given value. Then equate it with the number of observations and x and then multiply it to get the percentile. n= P/100 *N

where n is the ordinal rank of the given value

N is the number of values in ascending order.

The data in ascending order is

0.1 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.3 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.8 0.8 0.9 1.3

1.5 1.7 1.9 2.2 2.3 2.3 2.6 2.8 3.3 3.5 5.5 6.1 6.4 6.9 7.5 7.9 8.3 9.8 10.1 11.8 11.9 12.1 12.3 12.7 12.9 13.8 13.8 14.6 14.7 14.8 27.5

Number of observation = 45

4.9 lies between 3.3 and 5.5

x*n = 24 observation x*n = 25 observation

x*45= 24 x*45= 25

x= 0.533 x= 0.556

Thus percentile lies between 53.3% and 55.6 %
