看书的时候遇到个问题,请不吝赐教,谢谢
07年的NOTE,L1 P145,第七题:
below are the returns on 20 industry groups of stocks over the past year:
12%,-3%,18%,9%,-5%,21%,2%,13%,28%,-14%,
31%,32%,5%,22%,-28%,7%,9%,12%,-17%,6%
B what is the 40th percentile of this array data?
answer: the location of the 40th percentile is (20+1)(40/100)=8.4.the 8th and 9th lowest returns are 6% and 7%,so the 40th percentile is 6+0.4(7-6)=6.4%
为什么是(20+1)呢,明明是20个data,好困惑,请老师指教!
谢谢老师的解答
