Question: The salaries for 6 employees of XYZ company are $5000, $2500, $3200, $4100, $2200 and $1800. Find the percentile rank for a salary of $3200.


A ) 42nd percentile
B ) 58th percentile
C ) 66th percentile
D ) 0.58th percentile

Steps to derive

1 Write the salaries in increasing order.
$1800, $2200, $2500, $3200, $4100, $5000

2 Percentile rank for a salary of $3200, p = (number of employees below $3200)+0.5Total number of employees × 100%

3 There are 3 values below $3200. So, percentile is 3+0.56 × 100% = 58th percentile.

4 So, the employee with a salary of $3200 draws an amount which is more than the amount drawn by 58% of all the employees.



Hence the right answer is Option B
