The admissions index score is used to set eligibility standards intended to meet the goal of admitting the top of high school students in the state. In this context, what percentile does the top represent?
b. Students whoseGPAs are at or above the 96th percentile of all students at their high school are eligible (called eligible in the local context), even if they are not in the top of all students in the state. What percentage of students from each high school are "eligible in the local context"?
