Percentile

Percentiles are common measures of dispersion in salary survey analysis.

For instance, at 75th percentile means that 75% of all pay rates are at or below that point, and 25% are above.

The percentile for an observation x is found by dividing the number of observations less than x by the total number of observations and then multiplying this quantity by 100.
