is used to plot a childs growth. This is to see if the child is growing at the average weight and height for their age.
the 50th percentile is the median- it repersents the middle of the range of growth patterns.
the 91st percentile is near the top of the range. the height of an indivual child was on the 91st percentile would be the typical group of 100 children
the 10th percentile is near the bottom of the range. If a child was on the 9th percentile 8 children would measure less and 91 would measure more.
