Question
During the entrance examination to the school, the management decided that only the top 25% of test takers will be allowed to enroll. Who among the following has the highest possibility of being enrolled?a.Person B who got +0.3 z-score;b.Person A who got 73th percentile rank;c.Person D who got 82nd percentile rank.d.Person C who got a T score of 30
Solution
The answer is c. Person D who got 82nd percentile rank. The percentile rank is a score that tells what percent of the total scores the individual score is equal to or greater than. In this case, Person D's score is equal to or greater than 82% of the scores, which is higher than the 73rd percentile of Person A and likely higher than the z-score of Person B and the T score of Person C. Since the school is accepting the top 25%, Person D, being in the top 18% (100% - 82% = 18%), has the highest possibility of being enrolled.
