To be considered for pilot school, 12 students took a spatial reasoning test that resulted in this list of scores. find the value of the 90th percentile. 152 121 130 143 122 101 137 98 138 127 145 117

the 90th percentile is 145

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided:

152 121 130 143 122 101 137 98 138 127 145 117

Number of students considered, n = 12

To find:

90th percentile

Now,

Step 1 : Arrange the data in ascending order

98, 101, 117, 121, 122, 127, 130, 137, 138, 143, 145, 152

Step 2 : Compute the position of the 90th percentile

position of the 90th percentile, i = (90% × n)

Thus,

i = 0.90 × 12

or

i = 10.8

Now,

Step 3 : Since, the index i is not an integer, round up to the nearest integer

i.e i = 11

Therefore,

The 90th percentile is the value in 11th position,

i.e 145

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
