Exercise 46 Page 759

The percentile rank of a data value is the percentage of data values that are less than or equal to that value.

60

Practice makes perfect
Percentiles separate data sets into 100 equal parts. The percentile rank of a data value is the percentage of data values that are less than or equal to that value. Let's find the percentile rank of a score of 7.5. We know that 9 values out of the 15 total values are less than or equal to 7.5.

9/15 = 0.6 = 60 % The percentile rank of a score of 7.5 is 60.
