So to start this off, I’ve taken a statistics class years ago at a 4y college and all I learned was how to input numbers into a program. I’d really like to relearn the useful information to help me understand research journals, but for now I have a question about calculating percentile rank.
I have data for 5th%, 95th%, mean, and total number.
Can I use this information to plug in a number to determine its percentile rank?
Ex:
My weight = 196 lbs
Mean = 153.2 lbs
5th percentile = 105.5 lbs
95th percentile = 225.6 lbs
N = 8764
How do I figure out my rank?
Using data from this table:

You know, sober I might have given you a solid answretr, see I am a colege degree Psychologist, I had during my 5 years course , over 8 tipes of statistcs , like introduction to statistics, advanced statistics I 2 and 3 and then we have Psychodinamic Statistis 1 and 2 and another i dont remember. I saw som any statistic i remember even being able to decompile MMPI and Bender tests into validates items to create new tests with a hifg degree of validation ... that stuff has server me 0% in real life.
LIKE 0% except showing off in a crap reddit thread once or twice in over a decade.
My only real input to you is to study , pass and graduate and then forget abvout everything and learn to either code, a second and third language and perhaps learn how to save money, manage a budget and then invest in either real state in emerging thrid world countries or invest in solid stock like mutuals that give above average depreciation rates of the usd so you can at least keep the same money every year over the basic inflation ratesof it.
That is the only trhing that will help you in life.
Ahh and get a sensible partner that does not waste your own resources, that is a super plus alongisde not having more than one chil dif you have as alife gfoal to reproduce your genetic line.
yep, that is the only trhing you will need to suceed at life. Please remember no corporation whatsoeves, alongside f"riends2" you might make there are really honest or real , the only people you can trust you can count on your hand and have fingers left to count.
Also never ever tell anyone what you really own, or how much money you make. fact is, I have foudn if you portray yourself as poor you will usually get more out of people, as they will either ignore you or dismiss you as non threatening
what else? yep, never buy a car because its fancy or represent you, cars are the worst investment of your money due to their depreciation rate never buy fancy clothes of items to show you are well, that is literally wasting money only to show people, that do not really care about you you are better than them, that is a total watse of your money and time.
hmmmm yeah, my granny alwaysd told me you had to be aware of your surroundings, have spatial awareness of where you are all the time. this might save your life.
if possible and in theus, learn to do CPR, and how to fire common guns, or how to disarm or descalate situations yes.
be aware protecting your honor is bullshit if it might entail losing your life, everyone else is apotential enemy during thesesituations and though yo might have enough courage, if they outnumber yu it is a losing game.
Learn how to avoid conflict with strangers, do not drink un unsafe space and enjoy small things, like friendship and family.
yep, this is the same adive I would give t my dead son. yep.
hope it helps you man or woman.
be safe always and never worry too much about people, they will never be there when needed, and those that are, cherish themlike gold!
Much love to you my friend!
