Study Notes
Percentile Point & Rank
- Percentile Point: A score representing a specific point on a distribution, indicating the percentage of scores that fall below it.
- Percentile Point Example: The 75th percentile point is the score at which 75% of the scores fall below it.
- Data Needed (Percentile Point): Total frequency, cumulative frequency, width of the interval containing the score, cumulative frequency below the interval.
- Percentile Rank: The percentage of scores in a distribution that are below a particular score.
- Percentile Rank Example: The percentile rank of a score is the percentage of scores that are below that score.
- Data Needed (Percentile Rank): Total frequency, score in question, cumulative frequency below the score, width of interval.
- Calculations: Formulas provided for both percentile point and rank calculations include cumulative frequency, interval width, and specific scores.
- Interval Width (i): The range or difference between the top-end and bottom-end values of an interval.
- Frequency (f): The number of scores within a particular class interval.
- Cumulative Frequency (cum f): The total number of scores at or below a certain score(s).
Descriptive Data
- Total Frequency (N): The total number of scores in a dataset or distribution.
- Relative Frequency: The frequency of a specific score expressed as a proportion of the total frequency.
- Cumulative Frequency (cum f): The sum of frequencies of all scores below and including a specific score.
- Cumulative Percent: A percentage calculation showing the proportion of data points that fall at or below a specific point.
- Example Calculation:
cum % = (cum f / N) * 100 - Tables: Used to organize frequency, cumulative frequency, and percentile data. Specific values for scores and their relative distributions are shown in tables.
