Does this deal with the Emperical rule? Or is this something else?

OpenStudy (lacris):

Or is this with the interquartiles such as Q1 Q3 and Min, Median, or Maximum?

@agent0smith

OpenStudy (lacris):

If its with quartiles do i try to place it into the Q1, Q2 or Q3?

OpenStudy (lacris):

I did 15 - 100 (because of the 15th kth percentile) and got 85% but I clicked A, and it was incorrect because: The kth percentile of a set of data is a value such that k percent of the observations are less than or equal to the value. :( I'm still confused.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

What question do you actually need help with?

OpenStudy (lacris):

The multiple choice to choose the correct statement, they gave a table so I decided to show it just in case. Yet I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to find it.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

The table clearly has nothing to do with it. It's "standing height" which is part c, not a.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

The 15th percentile means "the bottom 15 percent" a) The 15th percentile being 41.5cm means that 15% of babies heads are 41.5cm or smaller.

OpenStudy (lacris):

OOOH! Oh my gosh, the 15th percentile is the smallest which is why it would need to be smaller! I feel so silly now, thank you so much!

OpenStudy (lacris):

So if it said the 90th percentile would mean: |dw:1473736585903:dw|

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

90th percentile means top 10%

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

And yes

OpenStudy (lacris):

Ohh okay, thank you so much! :D
