This document provides information on calculating percentiles for grouped data. There are two key steps:
1) Locate the class where the percentile falls. For example, to find the 30th percentile, locate the class containing the 15th data point.
2) Use the formula: Percentile = Lower Boundary of class + (Cumulative Frequency of class - Actual Frequency below percentile) / Total Frequency * (Number of data points - Cumulative Frequency at class). This calculates what value corresponds to the percentile based on the class boundaries and frequencies.
The document then works through an example calculating the 30th, 54th, and 86th percentiles using a table of workers' daily wages grouped into classes. It concludes by summar
