Hi,

When do you need them ?

Steve

Customer replied373 days and 12 hours ago.

As soon as possible I need to use these to study and review for my test in a couple of hours and the teacher says the test will be based off this homework so If I can do this I should have no problem with the test but If my answers are wrong it wont help me review for test so I am asking for your help

Ok,

I am working on them now

For question 5) some thextbooks differ in the formula to find the percentiles

If you have that formula it would be great

Steve

Customer replied373 days and 12 hours ago.

My book list a couple also but the one in this chapter has p/100 * (n + 1) Im not sure if this was the formula you were looking for

Expert:  Steve replied373 days and 12 hours ago.

That´s the beginning of the process, after computing that value it must be another step

Can you post it here?

Steve

Customer replied373 days and 11 hours ago.

Chapter 4 it gives me this (B+0.5E)/ n * 100= percentile



Where B = number of scores below x
E =
number of scores equal to
x
n =
number of scores

Ok,

Finishing the questions now

Steve

Expert:  Steve replied373 days and 11 hours ago.

That formula give us p(percentile) for a given value of x

But in question 5) we need to know x given p

I think that the first formula you posted is useful , but after that you have to round or doing something with:

p/100 * (n + 1)

Can you check that ?
