Find the percentile rank for each test score in the data set. 12, 28, 35, 42, 47, 49, 50 What value corresponds to the 60th percentile

Percentile rank:

12  =  7th

28 = 21st

35  = 36th

42  = 50th

47  = 64th

49   = 79th

50 =  93rd

- Vth number i.e. 47 is the value that corresponds to the 60th percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know,

Percentile rank = [(Number of values below x) + 0.5]/total number of values * 100

For 12,

Percentile rank = [0 + 0.5]/7 * 100

= 7th

For 28,

Percentile rank = [1 + 0.5]/7 * 100

= 21st

For 35,

Percentile rank = [2 + 0.5]/7 * 100

= 36th

For 42,

Percentile rank = [3 + 0.5]/7 * 100

= 50th

For 47,

Percentile rank = [4 + 0.5]/7 * 100

= 64th

For 49,

Percentile rank = [5 + 0.5]/7 * 100

= 79th

For 50,

Percentile rank = [6 + 0.5]/7 * 100

= 93rd

Now,

n = 7

60th percentile = 60% of n

So,

60% of n = 60/100 * 7

= 0.6 * 7

= 4.2

After rounding it off,

5th value is the 60th percentile i.e. 47.
