One of the chocolate candies weighed 0.856 gram and it was heavier than 224 of the other chocolate candies. What is the percentile of this particular value?

Explanation / Answer

a) we take the ratio to get the percentile

Since it is heavier than 22,

so percentile =22/470 = 0.0468 =5th percentile

b)

Since it is heavier than 329

so percentile =329/470 =0.7=0.7*100 =70th percentile

c)

Since it is heavier than 224

so percentile =224/470 =0.4765 =0.4765*100 =48th percentile
