Interpreting Percentiles: Practice and Answers
http://cnx.org/content/m18845/latest/

Above and Beyond: OPTIONAL: Why do we divide by n-1 instead of n when calculating the sample standard deviation? http://nebula.deanza.edu/~bloom/Math10/M10DivideBy_nminus1.pdf

Above and Beyond: OPTIONAL: Why do different technologies sometimes give different answers for quartiles for a data set?
In our class we have 2 methods we use to find quartiles: either using our Texas Instrument calculator, or using the Cumulative Relative Frequency
You might get slightly different answers using the TI-calculators, using Cumulative Relative Frequency to find percentiles, or using Excel or professional statistical software.
(NOTE: When we study continuous probability distributions in chapter 5 and 6, this problem does not exist due to continuity.)
It occurs with data, because we are looking at a finite list of data values.
