Answer:

(b) 17% was above her score.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Percentile score of Angela in the general aptitude test = 83rd percentile

To find:

a) Percentage of scores which were at or below her score?

b) Percentage of score which were above her score?

Solution:

First of all, let us learn about the term "Percentile"

Percentile is the value below which the certain percent of people/marks fall.

Therefore, when we say percentile of someone's score is [tex]x[/tex], then there are [tex]x\%[/tex] of scores are at the same level or below.

And [tex](100-x)\%[/tex] of the scores are above this level.

And [tex](100-83)\% = 17\%[/tex] of the scores were above the score of Angela.
