Percentile Rank = [ ( M + ( 0.5 × R ) ) / Y ] × 100
Where,
M = Number of Ranks below x
R = Number of Ranks equals x
Y = Total Number of Ranks
Total babies Y = 185
Percentile rank to be calculated for Sofia who is at 41st rank.
X=41
There 5 other babies who have similar measurements to Sofia.
R = 6
Count the ranks that are less than 41 which will be considered M.
M = 40
Percentile Rank = M + ( 0.5 R ) Y × 100 Percentile Rank = 40 + ( 0.5 6 ) 185 × 100 Percentile Rank = 23.24 %
Sofia's percentile rank is 23.24 %
