If my class rank upon graduation was 95 of 323, what percentage did I graduate in? Like, top (blank)% of my?

Question:class?

Answers:
You are NOT dumb. Some of the answers given were ill-considerde.

It's not as simple as 95/323.

You need to factor it into a Cumulative Probability curve.

If 1 is the best at +3.12 standard deviations and -3.12 SD's is the worst then 162 is Z=0, SD=51.6

So:
1-2 = GENIUS
3-53 = GIFTED
54-107 = SUPERIOR
108-215 = AVERAGE
216-269 = LOW AVERAGE
270-321 = BORDERLINE
322-323 = SEVERE

With a placement of 95 you are about 1.3 SD above the norm which in a normal distribution is in the 90th percentile (the top 10%).

So my friend you graduated in the top 10% and not the top 29%.

Take it from someone in the top 2%.

I promise you... look up:

CUMULATIVE PROBABILITIES FOR THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION.
95/323 so

you are in the top 30%,

you are the 29.4th % in your class.
Divide 95 by 323 and you'll have your answer.
95/323 That's 29.4%
Divide 95 by 323...roughly you were in the 26 percent range...from the top.
