Step 1 :The percentile of a set of data is the value below which a certain percent of the data fall. So, the 70th percentile, denoted \(P_{70}\), is the value below which 70% of the data fall.
Step 2 :To find this, we first need to sort the data in ascending order, which it already is.
Step 3 :Then, we need to find the index of the 70th percentile. This can be calculated using the formula \(i = \frac{P}{100}(N + 1)\), where \(P\) is the percentile (in this case 70), and \(N\) is the number of data points (in this case 50).
Step 4 :We then round this index to the nearest whole number. If the index is not a whole number, we will need to interpolate between the two nearest values.
Step 5 :Using the formula, we find that \(i = 35.7\).
Step 6 :Since this is not a whole number, we interpolate between the 35th and 36th values in our data set, which are 1.28 and 1.28 respectively.
Step 7 :Final Answer: \(P_{70}=\boxed{1.28} \frac{W}{\mathrm{~kg}}\)
