Kenneth pose la question :
Question from Kenneth:

Hello:

What is a common calculation used to determine percentiles?

For example, five employees have the following salaries:

Office worker 1 - $25,000

Office worker 2 - $27,000

Office worker 3 - $30,000

Office worker 4 - $32,000

Office worker 5 - $35,000

What is the percentile rank of office worker 3 who earns $30,000?

Here's what I know: Add the number of salaries. Total: 5

Add the smallest number of salaries less than $30,000. There are two.

Now, divide 2 by 5 and multiply by 100. 2/5 * 100 = 40

I think the office worker making $30,000 is in the 40th percentile. and I'm not sure what this ranking indicates.

I thank you for any helpful reply and or different calculation.

Why use percentiles? 2011-04-29
Kenneth pose la question :
I need some clarification regarding the word "percentile."

Here is an example and what I know: If an investor had twenty stocks in his portfolio and five of those stocks paid an annual dividend of $200.00 or more, the five stocks are in the 25 percentile.

Why is this word necessary? If my example and explanation is correct, why not simply indicate that 25% of his stocks paid an annual dividend of $200.00 or more?
