Answer 1

Answer: the percentile is 74%

Explanation:

The given data distribution is arranged in increasing order as:

0.1 0.2 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.5 0.5 0.6 0.6 0.8 0.9 0.9 0.9 1.1 1.3 1.7 1.8 1.9 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 3.1 3.5 3.5 3.7 3.8 4.8 5.2 7.4 7.9 8.2 8.6 9.3 11.2 11.3 11.4 12.1 12.6 13.1 13.3 13.6 13.8 14.6 15.6 15.7 25.6

The total number of values given in the data is 50

Percentile = number of values in the distribution lesser than the given value × 100/ total number of values in the distribution

Considering the data speed of 11.2 Mbps, the number of data speed lower than 11.2 is 37

Percentile = (37 × 100)/50 = 74%
