The elements of a dispersion fan diagram [1] are: a circular line as scale; a diameter which indicates the median; a fan (a segment of a circle) which indicates the quartiles; two feathers which indicate the extreme values. The scale on the circular line begins at the left with the starting value (e. g. with zero). The following values are ...

Percentile ranks are not on an equal-interval scale; that is, the difference between any two scores is not the same as between any other two scores whose difference in percentile ranks is the same. For example, 50 − 25 = 25 is not the same distance as 60 − 35 = 25 because of the bell-curve shape of the distribution. Some percentile ranks ...
Percentile scores and percentile ranks are often used in the reporting of test scores from norm-referenced tests, but, as just noted, they are not the same. For percentile ranks, a score is given and a percentage is computed. Percentile ranks are exclusive: if the percentile rank for a specified score is 90%, then 90% of the scores were lower.
Diagram showing the cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution with mean (μ) 0 and variance (σ 2) 1. These numerical values "68%, 95%, 99.7%" come from the cumulative distribution function of the normal distribution.
Robin John Hyndman (born 2 May 1967 [citation needed]) is an Australian statistician known for his work on forecasting and time series. He is a Professor of Statistics at Monash University [ 1 ] and was Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Forecasting from 2005–2018. [ 2 ]
Hyndman and Fan compiled a taxonomy of nine algorithms [2] used by various software packages. All methods compute Q p, the estimate for the p-quantile (the k-th q-quantile, where p = k/q) from a sample of size N by computing a real valued index h. When h is an integer, the h-th smallest of the N values, x h, is the quantile estimate.
The SAT, Graduate Record Examination (GRE), and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) compare individual student performance to the performance of a normative sample. Test takers cannot "fail" a norm-referenced test, as each test taker receives a score that compares the individual to others that have taken the test, usually given by a ...
