C: score is below the top
42% and above the bottom 25% .
This represents student for are between 58th percentile and 25th percentile
We find the 25th percentile as follows
D: scores below top 75% and above bottom 8% .
This represents student for are between 25th percentile and 8th percentile
We find the 8th percentile as follows
F: bottom 8% of scores.
This represents student for are between 8th percentile and 0th percentile
