To be considered for pilot school, 12 students took a spatial reasoning test that resulted in this list of scores. find the value of the 90th percentile. 152 121 130 143 122 101 137 98 138 127 145 117

the 90th percentile is 145

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided:

152 121 130 143 122 101 137 98 138 127 145 117

Number of students considered, n = 12

To find:

90th percentile

Now,

Step 1 : Arrange the data in ascending order

98, 101, 117, 121, 122, 127, 130, 137, 138, 143, 145, 152

Step 2 : Compute the position of the 90th percentile

position of the 90th percentile, i = (90% × n)

Thus,

i = 0.90 × 12

or

i = 10.8

Now,

Step 3 : Since, the index i is not an integer, round up to the nearest integer

i.e i = 11

Therefore,

The 90th percentile is the value in 11th position,

i.e 145

the monthly balance will be $75,000
