Description

To calculate the 95th percentile value:

1. Assuming that the number of data is N in total, calculate KN x 0.95.

2. Arrange the data in ascending order from smallest to largest. The K value in the sorted list will be 95th percentile value.

3. If K is not an integer, then the value needs to be rounded up.

[Example]

According to below graph, there are 6 data values in total, arrange these 6 data values from smallest to largest:

4.51 KBps、6 KBps、7 KBps、11.5 KBps、12 KBps、13.06 KBps

K = 6*95% is not an integer, so round to 6.

The 95th percentile should be the 6th data value in sorted list, which is 13.06 KBps.
