• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Array} is the array of data .
• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle kth } is the Percentile value.
  • PERCENTILE(),returns the k-th percentile of values in a range.

Description

• This function gives the Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle k^{th}} percentile value in a given range.
• Percentile means any of the 100 equal parts into which the range of the values of a set of data can be divided in order to show the distribution of those values.
• The percentile of a given value is determined by the percentage of the values that are smaller than that value.
• For example we can have the Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 25^{th}} percentile is the value below which 25 percent of the observations may be found.
• The 25th percentile is called as the first quartile (Q1), the 50th percentile as the median quartile (Q2), and the 75th percentile as the third quartile (Q3).
• In general, percentiles and quartiles are specific types of quantiles.
