OE

If x centimeters is at the 73rd percentile, then approximately 73% of the measurements in the distribution are less than or equal to x centimeters. Te 68 measurements that are greater than y centimeters but less than x centimeters are (68/850)(100%), or 8%, of the distribution. Tus approximately 73% - 8%, or 65%, of the measurements are less than or equal to y centimeters, that is, y is approximately at the 65th percentile in the distribution.

The correct answer is Choice E.
