The dataset below represents the population density per square mile of land area in 25 states in the 2010 U. S. Census. What is the 17th percentile? 1,19,35,43,49,55,56,56,63,67,94,105 ,110,168,175,181,212,231,239,351,46 1,595,738,839,9857 Select the correct answer below: 4 4.42 43 46 49 212

(C)43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data below:

1,19,35,43,49,55,56,56,63,67,94,105,110,168,175,

181,212,231,239,351,461,595, 738,839,9857

Step 1: Rank the values in the data set in order from smallest to largest.

This has already been done

Step 2: Multiply the desired percent by the total number of values in the data set to find the position of the desired percentile

Therefore: 17% X 25 = 0.17 X 25 =4.25

Round it to the nearest whole number

17th Percentile =4th Item

The 4th item in the data set is 43.

Therefore, the 17th percentile =43.

The correct option is C.
