To find the percentiles of a dataset, we can use the formula for the rank (position) of the percentile:
\[
P = \frac{n \cdot k}{100}
\]
Where:
- \(P\) is the rank (position) of the percentile,
- \(n\) is the total number of observations in the dataset,
- \(k\) is the desired percentile.
After calculating \(P\), if it is not a whole number, we round it up and round down to find the nearest ranks, then interpolate if necessary.
Here, the dataset contains 60 values.
### Given Dataset:
\[
2, 4, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 12, 13, 13, 16, 16, 16, 16, 17, 19, 19, 20, 23, 24, 24, 24, 25, 26, 26, 27, 28, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 34, 36, 37, 38, 42, 44, 45, 46, 47, 47, 48, 50, 52, 53, 53, 54, 55, 56, 56, 57, 58
\]
### Finding Percentiles:
#### 1. **80th Percentile**
\[
P = \frac{60 \cdot 80}{100} = 48
\]
The 80th percentile is the value at the 48th position in the sorted dataset.
From the dataset:
- 48th value = **56**
#### 2. **43rd Percentile**
\[
P = \frac{60 \cdot 43}{100} = 25.8
\]
We round up to 26 to find the value at the 26th position.
From the dataset:
- 26th value = **26**
#### 3. **18th Percentile**
\[
P = \frac{60 \cdot 18}{100} = 10.8
\]
We round up to 11.
From the dataset:
- 11th value = **13**
#### 4. **66th Percentile**
\[
P = \frac{60 \cdot 66}{100} = 39.6
\]
We round up to 40.
From the dataset:
- 40th value = **47**
### Summary of Results:
- **80th Percentile**: 56
- **43rd Percentile**: 26
- **18th Percentile**: 13
- **66th Percentile**: 47

I apologize for the oversight. Let's recalculate the percentiles step-by-step, making sure to interpret the positions correctly.
### Given Dataset:
\[
2, 4, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 12, 13, 13, 16, 16, 16, 16, 17, 19, 19, 20, 23, 24, 24, 24, 25, 26, 26, 27, 28, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 34, 36, 37, 38, 42, 44, 45, 46, 47, 47, 48, 50, 52, 53, 53, 54, 55, 56, 56, 57, 58
\]
This dataset has **60** numbers.
### Percentile Calculations
#### 1. **80th Percentile**
\[
P = \frac{n \cdot k}{100} = \frac{60 \cdot 80}{100} = 48

The 80th percentile corresponds to the 48th position in the sorted dataset.
- **48th value**: **56**
#### 2. **43rd Percentile**
\[
P = \frac{n \cdot k}{100} = \frac{60 \cdot 43}{100} = 25.8
\]
Since this is not a whole number, we round up to the 26th position.
- **26th value**: **26**
#### 3. **18th Percentile**
\[
P = \frac{n \cdot k}{100} = \frac{60 \cdot 18}{100} = 10.8
\]
Rounding gives us the 11th position.
- **11th value**: **13**
#### 4. **66th Percentile**
\[
P = \frac{n \cdot k}{100} = \frac{60 \cdot 66}{100} = 39.6
