7.4
Select Try the example in the form to load these values and calculate them again. This replaces the current form inputs. Compare the result with the method and worked explanation below.
The method, explained
Sort values. Interpolate at index (n − 1) × percentile/100 (Type 7).
Using numbers = 2, 4, 6, 8, percentile = 90 %, the result is 7.4. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
What to keep in mind
A descriptive or probability calculation under the stated assumptions. Check the sample design and model before interpreting results.
