Percentile Ranks and Normal Distribution Flashcards
What is percentile?
a ordinal measurement of data compared to some norm
90th percentile means that …
the given score is higher than 90% of all scores ( The score is in the upper 10%)
25th percentile =
first quartile (Q1) = lower quartile = lowest 25% of data
50th percentile =
second quartile (Q2) = Median = cuts data set in half
75th percentile =
third quartile (Q3) = upper quartile = cuts off highest 25% of data, or lowest 75%
Standard deviation is denoted:
σ or s
Mean is denoted:
µ
