Percentiles
DEFINITION: Let p be a number between 0 and 1. The 100th percentile of the
distribution of a continuous random variable X, denoted by n(p), is defined by
n(p)
p = F(n(p)) = [ f(x)dx
x-
That is, n(p) is the number on the x-axis, such that the shaded area under f(x) to
the left of n(p) has size p.
DEFINITION: The 50th percentile is also called the MEDIAN.
