93.5

C) WHAT IS THE PERCENTILE RANK FOR X=77

40th percentile

D) WHAT IS THE PERCENTILE RANK FOR X=90

-Are my answers correct. I did the % portion of the table myself. I'm not sure if I did it correctly though.

Thank You

I realize the table looks off. X= the scores 93-95...etc. cf= 4,7,4,3,2,. %=20,35,20,15,10. c%=100,80,45,25,10.
