I've always understood e.g. 89th percentile to include only the 89th-ranked 1/100 of the group, so in a group of 1000 values, the lowest 10 are in the 1st percentile, the next 10 (11-20) are in the 2nd percentile, etc. Rather than the nth percentile containing the lowest n% of the population, each...

Re: Terminology Question: Percentile vs Percentile Rank
It looks like the percentile rank is the percentage of values that are below a score (so, just a number), while the percentile is the group of all of the values that are below a given percentile rank. If your mass is at the 89th percentile (89% of the population has less mass than you), then the per...
