computation of percentiles in frequenncy distributions
On a paper and pencil measure of self-esteem, subjects in an experiment received the following scores:
113 131 138 145 154 116 131 138 145 155
119 132 138 146 156 119 133 140 146 157
121 134 140 148 163 125 134 141 150 167
129 134 141 151 129 135 142 152 130 137
143 141
What is the percentile rank of score 152 for this distribution, and how is this calculated as well as the 60th and 30th percentile point of this same distribution. Can you show me the calculations for each as this is confusing.
