How do I find out how many people have a score above a certain value?
Percentiles give the percentage of people who have a score below a threshold score.
Percentile (score) = 100$$\frac{\mbox{n} \leq \mbox{score}}{\mbox{N}}$$
1 - Percentile (score) = 100$$\frac{\mbox{n} \gt \mbox{score}}{N}$$
The percentiles for each score are routinely outputted using the frequency procedure in SPSS.
