The upper 70th percentile is the number below which 70% of the data lie.
The 70th percentile position is given by:
Thus, the 70th percentile position is approximately the 25th data item (after the data has been arranged in acsending order).
Given the following data:
<span>16 24 25 26 27 29 36 39 39 39 40 44 45 47 47 48 50 51 51 53 53 54 57 58
58 60 65 66 67 69 69 71 72 74 74 74
The 25th data in the data set is 58.
Therefore, the upper P70 is 58.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x= 1/4
<em>If the rate is a constant, the relationship is proportional.</em> (The rate is the constant of porportionality.)
_____
For two or more points on the function curve, divide the dependent variable value by the independent one. If you get the same result in every case, the relationship is porportional.
___
<em>Note</em>
For some non-proportional relationships, it is possible to find points on the graph that will pass the above test. If you suspect the relationship is actually not one of proportionality, try more points. Check also to make sure that (0, 0) is on the curve.
