Step 1 :Count the number of data points in the list, which is \( N = 30 \)
Step 2 :Use the formula \( \text{Position} = \frac{P}{100} \times (N + 1) \) to find the position for the 17th percentile, where \( P = 17 \)
Step 3 :Calculate the position for the 17th percentile, which is \( \text{Position} = \frac{17}{100} \times (30 + 1) = 5.27 \)
Step 4 :Since the position is not an integer, interpolate between the 5th and 6th data points to find the 17th percentile value
Step 5 :Calculate the 17th percentile value by taking the average of the 5th and 6th data points, which is \( \frac{11 + 12}{2} = 11.5 \)
Step 6 :The \( 17^{\text{th}} \) percentile is \( \boxed{11.5} \)
Step 7 :Use the same formula to calculate the position for the 62nd percentile, where \( P = 62 \)
Step 8 :Calculate the position for the 62nd percentile, which is \( \text{Position} = \frac{62}{100} \times (30 + 1) = 19.22 \)
Step 9 :Since the position is not an integer, interpolate between the 19th and 20th data points to find the 62nd percentile value
Step 10 :Calculate the 62nd percentile value by taking the average of the 19th and 20th data points, which is \( \frac{30 + 32}{2} = 31 \)
Step 11 :The \( 62^{\text{nd}} \) percentile is \( \boxed{31} \)
