If you were told your score was in the first percentile and the median score for the test was 85%, which of the following assumptions could you make about your score?

a. Your score was 85%.

b. Your score was 75%.

c. Your score was less than 85%.

d. Your score was higher than 85%.

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Percentile is the term which is defined as the relative standing in the data set from the values which is lowest to the values that are highest.

Median score is one which is defined as the average through adding all the numbers and then divide the sum or total through the amount of the numbers which were added.

For example, if the score is 85th percentile, it states that the 85% of the scores are below the score and the remaining 15% are above the score.

Therefore, the assumption which we could make from the above information, is that the score was less than the 85%.
