Question

if you are told only that you scored 80th percentile do you know from the description exactly how it wad calculated? Explain

Answer 1

We know that there is no universal acceptance meaning of a percentile. When someone told you that you are in the 80th percentile, the meaning of that is you have achieved the lowest score that is greater than 80 percent of the score. It is calculated by using the formula     R = P/100 x (N + 1)
