Question

II. From the table above, calculate the percentile rank for a score of 87. Please write down formula first. I For the following distribution of scores, complete the information for M (midpoint) and cumulative frequency Sat Scores cf c% M 750-799 700-749 650-699 600-649 550-599 500-549 Your score on the above SAT Test was 680. Calculate your percentile rank. What percent of all test takers scored higher than you? IV. V. In 1991, there were approximately 61 homicides committed in Savannah, Ga., a city with a population of approximately 140,000 inhabitants. What was the homicide rate for that particular year? Suppose, for hypothetical purposes, the population of Savannah was

Explanation / Answer

III )    For percentage we have to divide frequency by total frquency and then multiply it by 100

        For first value , 1 , total of frqency = 29 , % = (1/29) *100 = 3.448276

       Similarly , you can find all % values as shown in blow table .

      CF , that is cumulative frequency , we have to take addition up to that class

    That is for 1 st class frequency is 1

    For 2nd class frequency is 2 , CF = 2 + 1   = 3

   For 3rd class frequency is 5 , CF = 5+3 = 8

   Similarly you can find all CF

   For c% , we have to divide cumulative value by total frquency and then multiply it by 100

For 1st cumulative c% = (1/29) * 100 = 3.448276

For 2nd cumulative c% = (3/29) * 100 = 10.34483

Similarly , you can find all c%

And M is mid point , for first class we can find it as ( 750 + 799 ) = 774.5

Simiarly you can find all M values as show in below table

IV ) Percentile score : [ (cf + 0.5*f)/n ] * 100

                      For test score 680 , 680 li in interval 650 - 699 ,

So CF below that class = 21   and F for that class is 5 , n = 29

So, Percentile score for 680 = [(21 + 0.5*5 ) / 29 ] * 100 = 81.0345%
