Answer:

Of your choices, 87.5

Step-by-step explanation:

There may be a formula for figuring this out, but here's what I know how to do to solve this:

First we'll organize the data in ascending order:

3.9, 4.5, 5.7, 6.2, 7.4, 8.1, 8.4, 9.2  

The median is (6.2 + 7.4)/2 = 6.8

The first quartile is (4.5 + 5.7)/2 = 5.1

The third quartile is (8.1 + 8.4)/2 = 8.25

So the 75th percentile is 8.25

Since 9.2 is higher than that, I'd choose 87.5

Mildred's pie scored at the 87.5 percentile.

What is a percentile?

'A percentile is a measure used in statistics indicating the value below which a given percentage of observations in a group of observations fall.'

According to the given problem,

Organizing the data in ascending order:

3.9 < 4.5 < 5.7 < 6.2 < 7.4 < 8.1 < 8.4 < 9.2  

Median of the given data = [tex]\frac{6.2+7.4}{2}[/tex]

                                            = 6.8

First quartile = (4.5 + 5.7)/2

                      = 5.1

Third quartile = (8.1 + 8.4)/2

                       = 8.25

The third quartile is the 75th percentile,

⇒ 75th percentile = 8.25

Since, 9.2 > 8.25 , Mildred's pie scored at 87.5 percentile.

Hence, we can conclude, Mildred's pie scored at the 87.5 percentile.
