n total number of values in the data set
k percentile being used
L locator that gives the position of a value
Pk kth percentile
L = • nk100
23Chapter 2. Section 2-6. Triola, Elementary Statistics, Eighth Edition. Copyright 2001. Addison Wesley Longman
Finding the Value of the
kth Percentile
Sort the data.(Arrange the data in order of lowest to highest.)
The value of the kth percentileis midway between the Lth valueand the next value in thesorted set of data. Find Pk byadding the L th value and thenext value and dividing the total by 2.
Start
ComputeL = n where
n = number of valuesk = percentile in question
)( k100
Change L by rounding it up to the nextlarger whole number.
The value of Pk is theLth value, counting from the lowest
Is L a whole
number?
Yes
No
