Step 2 Percentile Calculator

This calculator helps determine the percentile rank of a value in a dataset by considering the position of the value relative to other values in the dataset.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Percentile Rank = (Position of Value in Ordered List / Total Number of Data Points) × 100%

Where:
- Position of Value in Ordered List is the position of the value in the sorted dataset
- Total Number of Data Points is the total number of values in the dataset

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the number of data points in your dataset (minimum 2)
  2. Enter your data values separated by commas (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 25)
  3. Enter the specific value for which you want to calculate the percentile rank
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to determine the percentile rank

Understanding Percentile Rank

The percentile rank indicates the relative position of a value within a dataset. For example, a percentile rank of 75% means that 75% of the values in the dataset are less than or equal to the given value.

Example

Suppose you have a dataset of exam scores: 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90

If you want to calculate the percentile rank for a score of 80:

  1. Data points: 6
  2. Data values: 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90
  3. Value to calculate: 80
  4. Position in ordered list: 4
  5. Percentile rank: (4/6) × 100% = 66.67%

This means that 66.67% of the exam scores are less than or equal to 80.

Important Notes

  • The calculator assumes that the data points are unique. If your dataset contains duplicate values, the calculator will still work correctly.
  • If the value you're calculating is not exactly in the dataset, the calculator finds the closest position and calculates the percentile accordingly.
  • The percentile rank ranges from 0% to 100%, where 0% represents the lowest value and 100% represents the highest value in the dataset.
