Work Step by Step

Find the percentile rank of each value. n=7, use the formula for percentile rank, we have For 12, percentile=$\frac{0+0.5}{7}\times100\approx7th$ For 28, percentile=$\frac{1+0.5}{7}\times100\approx21st$ For 35, percentile=$\frac{2+0.5}{7}\times100\approx36th$ For 42, percentile=$\frac{3+0.5}{7}\times100=50th$ For 47, percentile=$\frac{4+0.5}{7}\times100\approx64th$ For 49, percentile=$\frac{5+0.5}{7}\times100\approx79th$ For 50, percentile=$\frac{6+0.5}{7}\times100\approx93rd$ What value corresponds to the 60th percentile? $c=\frac{60\times7}{100}\approx5$ Identify the 5th value as: 47
