2

Step

Arrange the given grades in ascending order

34,42,51,65,69,74,78,84,85,85,86,87.

3

Step

Total number of observations

n = 12

4

Step

Given percentile value

x = 80

5

Formula:

Percentile Rank \$ P_x = (x(n+1)) /100\$

6

Step

Substitute the n,x values in percentile Rank

\$ P_x = (80(12+1)) /100\$

7

Step

Simplification

\$ P_x = (80(13)) /100\$

8

Step

Simplification

\$ P_x = (1040) /100\$

9

Step

After simplification

\$ P_x = 10.4 ∼ 10 \$

10

Step

Count the value from left to right in the given data set
