The percentile rank of a particular score is defined as the percentage of the scores in a distribution which are at or below the particular score. It is possible to determine some percentile ranks directly from the frequency distribution table, provided that the percentile ranks are percentages that appear in the table.hen a score is identified by its percentile rank, the score is called a percentile. It is also possible to determine some percentiles directly from the frequency distribution table, provided that the percentiles are upper real limits of a category.
To divide a decimal by a whole number, divide as you would for whole numbers; and place a decimal point in the answer so that it lines up with the decimal point in the dividend.
The zero and the counting numbers (1,2,3,...) make up the set of whole numbers. But not every number is a whole number. Our decimal system lets us write numbers of all types and sizes, using a clever symbol called the decimal point. As you move right from the decimal point, each place value is divided by 10.
