Rather than being divided into 100 parts, as in the case of percentiles, a distribution is sometimes divided into 9 parts called stanines, a contraction of the term standard nine. Stanines are whole numbers numbered from a low of 1 to a high of 9, with 5 representing average performance. The stanines that correspond to the percentile intervals are shown in the following graph. Average Below Average Above Average Poor Superior 4% 7% 12% 17% 20% 17% 12% 7% 3 6 7 Ne Stanine 1 OD 4 OL 9 Percentile 4 23 40 60 77 a. Determine the stanine for the 55th percentile. b. The following Stanford Achievement Test chart records a stanine score beside each percentile. For example, under Math Comp, the 54th percentile corresponds to a stanine score of 3. Determine the student's local mathematics application stanine score missing from that chart. Stanine score:
