Here is the question. How to find the 90th percentile value for a table of normally distributed data? Mean 216.8789144 Median 196 Standard Deviation 120.8120967 Sample Variance 14595.56271 Minimum 0 Maximum 1103 Sum 103885 Count 479 Largest(1) 1103 Smallest(1) 0 I have a formula that will i believe will work but I am missing the Z-value. Here is the formula: X = 90th percentile value X = mean + (Zscore)(StandardDeviation) My research tells me that I need to reference known tables (p table? or t table?) to find out the z score for a given percentile based on a normal distribution. I am not able to find these tables to complete the equation. Thanks, |

Those numbers are not consistent with normally distributed data. The normal curve is symmetrical, but your max value differs from the median by almost 5 times as much as your min value does. If you provide some information on what kind of data it is, it may be easier to help. |

Just plug in your values here, and you won't even need a table-- it will give you an exact value. http://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/PValue1.cfm |
