- Percentile[ <List of Numbers>, <Percent> ]
- Let P equal the given Percent.
- Returns the value that cuts off the first P percent of the list of numbers, when the list is sorted in ascending order. Percent must be a number in the interval 0 < P ≤ 1.
- Example:
Percentile[{1, 2, 3, 4}, 0.25]
yields 1.25.
Note: The commands Quartile and Percentile use different rules and do not always return matching results.
- Example:
Q1[{1, 2, 3, 4}]
yields 1.5.Percentile[{1, 2, 3, 4}, 0.25]
yields 1.25.
