The following are the scores of 11 students in an algebra quiz (arranged in ascending order): 12,
15, 16, 17, 19, 23, 25, 30, 31, 32, and 33. Find the value of D2, and D5.
Solution:
There are 11 score, so n=11. The scores are already arranged in order.

The value of D2 lies between the 2nd and the 3rd scores. Using the simple
interpolation for a more accurate value of D2.
Since the value of D 2 can be found between the second and the third score, it is
a value between 15 and 16. Add the smaller number (which is 15) to the
product of the decimal part of the computed D2(which is 0.4) and the
difference of the two scores (16-15).

Answer Key:
A Percentile” is in everyday use, but there is no universal definition for it. The most
common definition of a percentile is a number where a certain percentage of scores fall
below that number.

Solution:
First draw a line graph of the data: plot the points and join them with a smooth
curve:
Draw a line horizontally across from 3,000 until you hit the curve, then draw a
line vertically downwards to read off the time on the horizontal axis:
b) To estimate the percentile of visits after 11 hours: draw a line vertically up
