Solution Steps

Step 1: Sort the Data

The sorted dataset is: [21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 40, 41, 43, 44, 46, 47, 48].

Step 2: Calculate the Position

Using the formula $i = \frac{P}{100} \times (N + 1)$, we find the position $i = 5$.

Step 3: Determine the Percentile Value

Since $i$ is an integer, the value at position $i$ in the sorted list is the $P^{\text{th}}$ percentile.

Final Answer: The 25th percentile of the dataset is 26.

Step 1: Sort the Data

The sorted dataset is: [21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 40, 41, 43, 44, 46, 47, 48].

Step 2: Calculate the Position

Using the formula $i = \frac{P}{100} \times (N + 1)$, we find the position $i = 14$.

Step 3: Determine the Percentile Value

Since $i$ is an integer, the value at position $i$ in the sorted list is the $P^{\text{th}}$ percentile.

Final Answer: The 70th percentile of the dataset is 41.
