1. **Problem statement:**
We have a set of 30 exam scores and need to find the percentile ranks for scores 20 and 68.
2. **Formula for percentile rank:**
$$\text{Percentile Rank} = \frac{\text{Number of scores less than the given score} + 0.5 \times \text{Number of scores equal to the given score}}{\text{Total number of scores}} \times 100$$
3. **Step (a): Percentile rank for score 20**
- Count scores less than 20: The scores less than 20 are 18 only, so count = 1.
- Count scores equal to 20: There are none, so count = 0.
- Total scores = 30.
Calculate:
$$\text{Percentile Rank} = \frac{1 + 0.5 \times 0}{30} \times 100 = \frac{1}{30} \times 100 = 3.33$$
Round up to next whole number:
$$4$$
4. **Step (b): Percentile rank for score 68**
- Count scores less than 68: Scores less than 68 are all scores below 68. From the list, these are 18, 23, 33, 38, 38, 38, 42, 51, 55, 56, 57, 63, 65, 66 (14 scores).
- Count scores equal to 68: There are 4 scores equal to 68.
- Total scores = 30.
Calculate:
$$\text{Percentile Rank} = \frac{14 + 0.5 \times 4}{30} \times 100 = \frac{14 + 2}{30} \times 100 = \frac{16}{30} \times 100 = 53.33$$
Round up to next whole number:
$$54$$
5. **Step (c): Carmela's percent score**
- Carmela scored 618 out of 800.
Calculate:
$$\text{Percent score} = \frac{618}{800} \times 100 = 77.25$$
Rounded to two decimals:
$$77.25$$
**Final answers:**
- Percentile rank for score 20: 4
- Percentile rank for score 68: 54
- Carmela's percent score: 77.25
Percentile Rank 5D0D8C
