A. 10th percentile:
If you are on the 10th percentile, the at least 10% of the data is lower than you.
10% of 20 is 2.
Thus, at least 2 data points are lower than you; that is, you are the 3rd lowest entry.
Thus,
10th percentile = 15 [ANSWER]
**************************************
B. 75th percentile:
If you are on the 75th percentile, the at least 75% of the data is lower than you.
75% of 20 is 15.
Thus, at least 15 data points are lower than you; that is, you are the 16th lowest entry.
Thus,
75th percentile = 29 [ANSWER]
