Question

Lea's percentile rank on an exam in a class of 75 students is 47. Maurice's rank is 45. Who is ranked higher?

Answer 1

A higher percentile is a higher ranking.

Answer 2

So there is no math involved? You just look at Lea's higher rank? Cause I tried doing the math and when I did I got Maurice instead @peachpi

Answer 3

The math is basically understanding how percentiles work. Being in the 47th percentile means that she scored better than 47% of the class. Maurice scored better than 45% of the class.

Answer 4

Okay! Thank you!
