Understanding Percentile Ranks in Dot Plots

The video tutorial explains how to interpret a dot plot showing the daily driving hours of school bus drivers. It focuses on calculating the percentile rank for a driver with 6 hours of driving time. Two methods of calculating percentiles are discussed: one considering data below the target value and another including the target value. The tutorial demonstrates the calculation process, leading to the conclusion that the 55th percentile is the closest estimate for the given data point.

What does each dot represent in the dot plot discussed in the video?

• A day of the week

• A school bus

• A school bus driver

• An hour of driving
