Answer:
52nd percentile
Step-by-step explanation:
The sorted data :
36.0, 37.0, 39.5, 40.0, 40.5, 43.0, 44.0, 45.5, 45.5, 46.5, 48.0, 48.00, 49.0, 50.0, 51.5, 52.5, 53.0, 53.5, 54.0, 57.3, 57.5, 58.0, 58.5, 59.0, 59.5, 60.0, 61.0, 61.0, 61.0, 61.5, 62.0, 62.5, 63.0, 63.0, 63.5, 64.0, 64.0, 64.0, 64.5, 65.0, 66.0, 67.5, 67.5, 68.5, 70.0, 70.5, 71.5, 72.0, 72.5, 72.5, 72.5, 73.5, 74.5, 77.5
The total size of the data = 54
The value 61.0 occurs in position ; 27th, 28th and 29th
Taking the position average :
(27+28+29)/3 = 84/3 = 28th position
This means the percentile score of 61 is :
(Position average / total size) * 100%
(28/54) * 100%
0.5185185 * 100%
= 51.85%
This means that 61 inch length falls in the 52nd percentile
