You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rank the following data in increasing order and find the positions and values of both the 11th percentile and the 71st percentile.
7,5,3,2,9,6,4,3,8,5,5,8
----------------------------
Rank them from least, to greatest.
-----
Note: There are 12 data values.
---
0.11*12 = 1.32
Round up to get the location of the 11% element>
So the #2 element is the 11%ile data value.
===============================
0.71*12 = 8.52
Round up to get the location of the 71%ile element.
So the #9 element is the 71%ile data value.
=================
