Question

I just need help with question 3.

Can someone please explain how to find the value of "i" used to find the thirty-fifth percentile (x.35)?

Consider the following data from a random sample: 40.5,43.9,43.4, 46.6,34.1,48.4,45.4,27.6 What is the value of x? A. 27.6 B. 40.5 C. 43.9 D. 48.4 2. Question 2 Using the data from Question 2, what is the value of xa)? A. 27.6 B. 40.5 C. 43.9 D. 48.4 3. Question 3 Using the data from Question 2, what is value of i used to find the thirty-fifth percentile ( 35)? T.35 A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4 E. Correct answer is not provided

Explanation / Answer

In order to calculate the 35th percentile, we first calculate the index i

Total number of data values in the sample, n = 8

Percentile value, k = 0.35

So, index, i = 0.35*8 = 2.8

Rounding to the nearest whole number we get:

i = 3
