Percentiles
Percentiles are different than percentages.
Percentiles divide occurrences into groups based
upon ranked data.
For example, suppose you score 80 percentile on
an exam. That mean 80 percent of the score were
below yours. It does not necessarily mean you
answered 90 percent of the questions.
