In statistics, the percentile rank of a score (PR) is the percentage of scores in its frequency distribution that are less than that score. Its mathematical formula is. P R = C F − ( 0.5 × F ) N × 100 , {\displaystyle PR= {\frac {CF- (0.5\times F)} {N}}\times 100,} where CF —the cumulative frequency—is the count of all scores less than or equal to the score of interest, F is the frequency for the score of interest, and N is the number of scores in the distribution.
