58 is your answer. hope it helps

Answer 2

The upper 70th percentile is the number below which 70% of the data lie.

The 70th percentile position is given by:


`P_(70)= (70N)/(100) = (70(36))/(100) =25.2`

Thus, the 70th percentile position is approximately the 25th data item (after the data has been arranged in acsending order).

Given the following data:
16 24 25 26 27 29 36 39 39 39 40 44 45 47 47 48 50 51 51 53 53 54 57 58
58 60 65 66 67 69 69 71 72 74 74 74

The 25th data in the data set is 58.

Therefore, the upper P70 is 58.
