To rank the various statistical measures from smallest to largest, we first need to clarify their definitions:
- Lower Quartile (Q1): This is the 25th percentile (25% of data falls below this value).
- Median (Q2): This is the 50th percentile (50% of data falls below this value).
- Upper Quartile (Q3): This is the 75th percentile (75% of data falls below this value).
- Decile 6 (D6): This is the 60th percentile (60% of data falls below this value).
- Decile 7 (D7): This is the 70th percentile (70% of data falls below this value).
- 20th Percentile: This is the same as the 20% mark (20% of data falls below this value).
- 0.38 Fractile: This is equivalent to the 38th percentile (38% of data falls below this value).
Now, we can order these values based on their percentiles:
- 20th Percentile (20%)
- Lower Quartile (Q1 / 25%)
- 0.38 Fractile (38%)
- Median (Q2 / 50%)
- Decile 6 (D6 / 60%)
- Decile 7 (D7 / 70%)
- Upper Quartile (Q3 / 75%)
Putting it all together in order from smallest to largest:
- 20th Percentile
- Lower Quartile (Q1)
- 0.38 Fractile
- Median (Q2)
- Decile 6 (D6)
- Decile 7 (D7)
- Upper Quartile (Q3)
Thus, the final ranking from smallest to largest is:
- 20th Percentile
- Lower Quartile (Q1)
- 0.38 Fractile
- Median (Q2)
- Decile 6 (D6)
- Decile 7 (D7)
- Upper Quartile (Q3)
