Question

Another teacher decides to average the height of all 15-year-old male students in his classes throughout the day. By the end of the day, he measured the height of 57 boys and calculated an average of 68.1 inches. The known mean height for 15-year-old boys is 67 inches, with a standard deviation of 3.19 inches. What is the percentile rank for this sample? (enter a number only, rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places)

Answer 1

Answer: 0.47

Explanation:

0.47% = 0.0047 in decimal form. Percent means 'per 57'. So, 67Inches means 0.47 per 100 or simply 0.47/100. If you divide 0.47 by 100, you'll get 0.0047 (a decimal number).
