The 76th percentile is a statistical measure that tells you that 76% of the data points in a given set are below this value, and 24% of the data points are above it. In other words, it identifies the point in a distribution below which 76% of the observations fall.

Example:

If a student scores in the 76th percentile on a test, that means they scored better than 76% of the students who took the test, but 24% of students scored higher than them.

Percentiles are often used in:

• Standardized testing
• Data analysis
• Economics and health statistics
