1. Calculate Percentiles-20 from the following grouped data
Solution:| `x` | Frequency `f` | `cf` |
| 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 5 | 6 |
| 2 | 10 | 16 |
| 3 | 6 | 22 |
| 4 | 3 | 25 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| n = 25 | -- |
Here, `n = 25`
`P_20 = ((20(n+1))/100)^(th)` value of the observation
`=((20*26)/100)^(th)` value of the observation
`=(5.2)^(th)` value of the observation
`=1`
2. Calculate Percentiles-70 from the following grouped data
| X | Frequency |
| 10 | 3 |
| 11 | 12 |
| 12 | 18 |
| 13 | 12 |
| 14 | 3 |
Solution:| `x` | Frequency `f` | `cf` |
| 10 | 3 | 3 |
| 11 | 12 | 15 |
| 12 | 18 | 33 |
| 13 | 12 | 45 |
| 14 | 3 | 48 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| n = 48 | -- |
Here, `n = 48`
`P_70 = ((70(n+1))/100)^(th)` value of the observation
`=((70*49)/100)^(th)` value of the observation
`=(34.3)^(th)` value of the observation
`=13`
