There you go LPS.... etymology is your friend if you want it to be.:laugh::laugh:

Any questions?

Formula:
To find the percentile rank of a score, x, out of a set of n scores, where x is included:
Where B = number of scores below x
E = number of scores equal to x
n = number of scores
Example: If Jason graduated 25[SUP]th [/SUP]out of a class of 150 students, then 125 students were ranked below Jason. Jason's percentile rank would be:


Jason's standing in the class at the 84[SUP]th [/SUP]percentile is as higher or higher than 84% of the graduates. Good job, Jason!

Here's an example for you from a math site, maybe it'll help you understand.[/QUOT]

LOLOLOL.

Etymology....for cent, percentage, percentile, century. From Latin....Centum...meaning hundred. Need a link?

So...if Pomeranz is ranked the 6th best prospect, out of 100 pitching prospects, his percentile would be what? 4th grade math we're talking here folks. Take you time Hoops....use your slide rule and check it twice.

Maybe you should go to law school, no?

Out of 100, he is in the 95th percentile. Out of 25, he is the 78th percentile.

But I wasnt very good at math. That might be wrong.

I seriously want to know how foolish you actually are... Footwedge, answer this... If Pom was rated 6th out of 100 prospects then what's his percentile

Acta rested a few starters and it showed.

Laley23;1150250 wrote:They are "based" off of 100, yes. Doesnt mean it has to be a group of 100(n) each and every time. So if he is 6th best of 25, yes...stretch it to 100 he is going to be 6th best of 100. But you dont HAVE to have 100 to find a percentile. Because it is based on 100, you multiply the decimal you get by 100. So if the Pomeranz rank was out of only 25 pitchers, he is in the 78th percentile for that group. Based off 100, but you dont need a study of 100 to find the percentile. If you needed "N" to be 100 to find a percentile, you would have literally no percentiles.

And I'd also like to see where Drew was ranked 6th on ANY prospect rankings. Most I saw had him at around 30th coming into the season.

And here's a link to BBA's 2012 prospect rankings.. Pom is right at 30 on this one.
