Paisley Baker · Answer 1

the child did not pass the test if they got a 96th

explanation:

96th precentile is actually bad according to arnes. si because it means that 96% of the time your answer was below the average and only 3% of the time was it above average. 50% is the median at what most students should be able to get at or lower.
