(Percentile, median) The pth percentile of a sample is a number Q, such that at least p% of the sample values are smaller than or equal to Q, and also at least (100 – p)% of those values are larger than or equal to Q. If there is more than one such number (in which case there will be an interval of them), the pth percentile is defined as the average of the numbers (midpoint of that interval). In particular, Q50 is called the middle quartile or median and is denoted by r.
