What these numbers mean
  • Sort the values. For N numbers, the zero-based position is h=(N−1)p/100. For 10,20,30,40 at p=25, h=0.75 and the result is 17.5. This is the type-7 method, not nearest rank.

Percentile definitions can produce different results, especially in small samples. Up to 200 numbers.
