Answer to Problem 12PPS

The tallest person is at 90th percentile

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The heights of students

Formula Used:Percentile formula is,

  percentile=NumberOfValuesBeforeXn×100 ,

Where, n is the total number of item

Calculation:

Arranging the value of students in increasing order of their height,

    Student Height(inches)
    G 58
    AN 59
    R 59
    CA 60
    CH 61
    J 62
    P 63
    E 63
    ANT 64
    B 65

From the table it can be concluded that B is the tallest student and he is at 10th position

Substituting the values in percentile formula,

  percentile=910×100

On solving,

  Percentile=90

Hence, the tallest person is at 90th percentile.

Conclusion:The tallest person is at 90th percentile

b.

Answer to Problem 12PPS

The third shortest student is at 30th percentile.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Height of students,

    Student Height(inches)
    G 58
    AN 59
    R 59
    CA 60
    CH 61
    J 62
    P 63
    E 63
    ANT 64
    B 65

Concept Used:

  percentile=NumberOfValuesBeforeXn×100

Calculation:

From the table,Third shortest student is CA.

Substituting the values in percentile formula,

  percentile=310×100

On solving,

  Percentile=30

Hence, the third shortest student is at 30th percentile.

Conclusion:

The third shortest person is at 30th percentile.

c.

To determine

To calculate, if there is 50th percentile

Answer to Problem 12PPS

There is no 50th percentile in the given data.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Height of students,

    Student Height(inches)
    G 58
    AN 59
    R 59
    CA 60
    CH 61
    J 62
    P 63
    E 63
    ANT 64
    B 65

Formula Used:

  ValueOfX=percentile100×(n+1)

Calculation:

Substituting the values,

  X=50100×(10+1)

So,

  X=50100×11

On solving,

  X=5.5

In this situation, average of 5th and 6th term is to be calculated. Hence, substituting the values of 5th and 6th term,

  =61+622

On solving,

  =61.5

Comparing the value to the table,

Since, there is no student with 61.5 inches height.So, there is no 50th percentile.

Conclusion:There is no 50th percentile in the given data

d.

To determine

To calculate, if there is someone at 100th percentile

d.

Answer to Problem 12PPS

There is no value present on the 100th percentile.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Height of students,

    Student Height(inches)
    G 58
    AN 59
    R 59
    CA 60
    CH 61
    J 62
    P 63
    E 63
    ANT 64
    B 65

Formula Used:

  ValueOfX=percentile100×(n+1)

Calculation:

Substituting the values,

  X=100100×(10+1)

So,

  X=100100×11

On solving,

  X=11

On comparing the value of X to the given table. Since, there are only 10 terms in the data.

There is no value present on the 100th percentile.

Conclusion: There is no value present on the 100th percentile.
