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]
