Find the percentile no. $$$75$$$ of $$$5$$$, $$$18$$$, $$$20$$$, $$$40$$$, $$$75$$$.
Solution
The percentile no. $$$p$$$ is a value such that at least $$$p$$$ percent of the observations is less than or equal to this value and at least $$$100 - p$$$ percent of the observations is greater than or equal to this value.
The first step is to sort the values.
The sorted values are $$$5$$$, $$$18$$$, $$$20$$$, $$$40$$$, $$$75$$$.
Since there are $$$5$$$ values, then $$$n = 5$$$.
Now, calculate the index: $$$i = \frac{p}{100} n = \frac{75}{100} \cdot 5 = \frac{15}{4}$$$.
Since the index $$$i$$$ is not an integer, round up: $$$i = 4$$$.
The percentile is at the position $$$i = 4$$$.
So, the percentile is $$$40$$$.
Answer
The percentile no. $$$75$$$A is $$$40$$$A.
