Grouped Frequency Distribution
Percentile and Percentile Rank
• Percentile (PX) or Percentile Point– The value on the measurement scale (at or) below
which a specified percentage of the scores in the distribution fall.
– Where x from Px is a percentage– Looking for a score (value)
• Percentile Rank (PRX)– The percentage of scores with values (equal or)
lower than the score in question.– Where x from PRx is a score (value)– Looking for a percentage
