So 79 better than both of them, FFS
Hope this helps Lanzo.
The 80th percentile means
a value is higher than 80% of all other data points in a set. It indicates a position of top performance, such as scoring better than 80% of test-takers or being taller than 80% of a population. It is a measure of relative standing, not a percentage score.
Key details about the 80th percentile:
- Definition: 80% of the data points fall below this value, while 20% fall above it.
- Performance: It generally represents a high, but not top 1% or 5%, performance.
- Example: If you are in the 80th percentile for income, you earn more than 80% of people.
- Context:
It is commonly used in test results, growth charts, and, and data analysis to show how a single data point compares to a larger group
.
Difference from Percentage
It is important to note that the 80th percentile is not the same as scoring 80% on a test. You could score a 60% on a test but, if everyone else scored lower, you could still be in the 80th percentile.
