i think its A
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
I would agree since A has a smaller IQR, so the values are closer together

Find the values of the 30th and 90th percentiles of the data. 129, 113, 200, 100, 105, 132, 100, 176, 146, 152
A. 30th percentile = 105; 90th percentile = 200
B. 30th percentile = 113; 90th percentile = 200
C. 30th percentile = 105; 90th percentile = 176
D. 30th percentile = 113; 90th percentile = 176
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i know its not C
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
first sort the data values

ok now multiply 0.3 by 10 to get 0.3*10 = 3
so the value in slot #3 is the 30th percentile
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i tried calculating it and i think its B
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
0.9*10 = 9
the value in slot 9 is the 90th percentile
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
it's not B

C is the wrong option
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got it wrong
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
oh...hmm
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think 100 is the repeating figure so we can count it as 1
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
maybe, the annoying thing about percentiles is that there is actually more than one way to do it

there's no set standard, which is frustrating
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mean 100 written just one times may be we can get the correct answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if we do this it will be D
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
for some reason, I want to exclude 200 as the 90th percentile, so that's why I'm leaning towards 176 as the 90th percentile
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yeah D is the next plausible answer choice

iam rearranging them i think i sort them out wrong

we did this one already??

100, 100, 105, 113, 129, 132, 146, 152, 176, 200

are you sure its D
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
that one doesn't work either?

because if we count 100 as the figure written once then we will get B as an answer
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
B was already eliminated though remember?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no its was C
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
C doesn't work, so it has to be D
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
we eliminated B too because there's no way the 90th percentile is 200

wait i have more questions will you help just 10 more questions

can't do all 10, how about 3 or 4
