Why use percentiles? |
2011-04-29 |

From Kenneth: I need some clarification regarding the word "percentile."
Here is an example and what I know: If an investor had twenty stocks in his portfolio and five of those stocks paid an annual dividend of $200.00 or more, the five stocks are in the 25 percentile.
Why is this word necessary? If my example and explanation is correct, why not simply indicate that 25% of his stocks paid an annual dividend of $200.00 or more? Answered by Penny Nom. |
