PercentilesPercent score how well you would have done on the test if it were marked out of 100
Example:Marjoy writes a test and scores 48 out of possible 60 marks. Express this mark as a rate of percent.
8
Suppose 100 students have written the same test as Marjoy. Suppose only 10 of these students score less than 48 out of 60.
How does Marjoy's mark compare with the marks of the other students who have written the same test?
Assume that no other student has scored exactly 48 out of 60.
Comparing a Raw Score to All Other ScoresPercentile Rank
9
Suppose, however, that of the 100 students who have written the same test as Marjoy, 90 of them score lower than 48 out of 60.
How does Marjoy’s mark now compare with the marks of the other students?
Assume no other student scores 48 out of 60.

indicates the percent of all scores that fall below a particular score. Percentile Rank
• The higher the percentile rank, the better the score compared to the other scores.
• The lower the percentile rank, the poorer the score compared to the other scores.
B = number of scores Below a given score
E = number of scores Equal to the given score, including the given score. *if there are no other scores equal to the given score, then E = 0.
n = total number of scores

The following is a set of 32 marks achieved by students on an examination worth 100 marks.
Determine the percentile ranking for a raw score of 72.

Mac writes a college entrance examination and scores 1440 out of a possible 1800. Of the 875 students writing the college entrance examination, 25 other students have the same score as Mac and 680 students have lower scores than him.
a) Find Mac's percentile rank.
b)In order to be considered for a particular college program, Mac needs a percentile rank of 75 or better. Is Mac's score high enough for him to be considered for the program?

Special Percentile Notation
You can also use the letter P and a subscript to denote a particular percentile

A survey is conducted of a community of 2000 families. The survey yields the following percentiles on family income.
P25 = $23,500 P50 = $32,000P75 = $48,000 P90 = $100,000
• Approximately what percentage of families in the community earn more than $100,000 a year?
• Approximately what percentage of families in the community earn less than $48,000 a year?
• Approximately how many families in the community earn less than $23,500 a year?
15
P25 = $23,500 P50 = $32,000P75 = $48,000 P90 = $100,000
