Percentile Grouped-Data

Here are the steps to find the percentage of consultants who made Php5,400 or more per day: 1. The value we are interested in is Php5,400 2. Look for the class that contains this value. It is in the class of Php5,200 - Php6,399 3. The cumulative frequency of this class is 96 4. The total number of consultants is 120 5. To get the percentage, we take the cumulative frequency (96) and divide by the total number (120) and multiply by 100 6. 96/120 = 0.8 7. 0.8 * 100 = 80 Therefore, the percentage of consultants who made Php

First, we need to find the Percentile class.
Simply multiply k (64/100) by the total frequency
(25)
By doing that we get 16

This means that the class that has the 16th frequency
is our Percentile class

Rank
Percentile Rank
Percentile ranks are particularly useful in relating individual
scores to their positions in the entire group. A percentile rank is
typically defined as the proportion of scores in a distribution
that a specific score is greater than or equal to. For instance, if
you received a score of 95 on a mathematics test and this score
was higher than or equal to the scores of 88% of the students
taking the test, then your percentile rank would be 88.

PR - Percentile Rank, the answer will always be a percentage
