Percentile is greater-than, and percentile rank is less-than-or-equal, right?
So:
- n'th percentile: x > n%- percentile rank n: x <= n%
As a side-note, I cannot hear what the person says initially before saying "Trump".
EDIT: The nomenclature of these definitions seems a bit weird to me. I wonder what the origins of them are.
EDIT2: I think my questions and description above is wrong, and that Ladimir_Wewtin is wrong about parts as well, at least from semi-quick glancing and consideration based on Wikipedia.
The "n'th percentile" does not refer to a range, but to a specific value, where n% of cases fall below that value, and (100%-n%) of cases fall above that value. The "n'th percentile" for a given distribution is a value. If a value is ___ at ___ the n'th percentile, it means that this value divides the given distribution with n% of cases below and (100%-n%) above.
Furthermore, saying that a value is ___ in ___ the n'th percentile means that that value is equal to or below the value of the n'th percentile. Which means that (if my understanding is correct) Ladimir_Wewtin is wrong about this latter part: "If you're in the 99th percentile, you scored higher than everyone else, meaning top 1%." . If your score is in the 99th percentile, your score is lower than the interval of values of the top 1% scores.
I do not know what percentile rank refers to - I am not certain that Wikipedia is even consistent reg. the definitions (at a semi-quick glance, the definitions of percentile rank in different pages there might be inconsistent...).
Yes, and I also describe that in my "EDIT2" section, namely that if a value is ___ in ___ the n'th percentile, it is equal to or below the value of the n'th percentile. Which, for your example, given that it uses ___ in ___ , not ___ at ___ , would mean that the given boy is not especially tall nor has an especially high weight.
"the top 1 percentile"
This person: clearly he means the bottom percentile

You are in the 1 percentile of people who don’t understand and at the same time try to explain to everyone else that they don’t understand
It is A. “Top 1%” Or B. “The 99th percentile”.... “The top 99th percentile” is jibberish....
