sometimes because it depends on the sign whether it's negative or positive

Note the coordinates of each point: R(-4, 5), S(5, 1), T(2, -3).
The centroid is the point whose coordinates are the average of the coordinates of R, S, and T.
<em>x</em>-coordinate: (-4 + 5 + 2)/3 = 3/3 = 1
<em>y</em>-coordinate: (5 + 1 - 3)/3 = 3/3 = 1
So the centroid is (1, 1).
45th percentile means that 45% of the data fall below that number while 55% (that is, 100-45) fall above it.
Now, arranging the number in ascending order;
$60, $85, $95, $105, $120, $145, $155, $175, $190, $215, $235, $240, $260, $285, $325
The total number of counts = 15
Then,
Index = 15*45% = 15*0.45 = 6.75
Round up,
Index = 7
The,
7th number = $155
Therefore, 45th percentile value of the data = $155
