How large portion of the whole is less than the given thing being measured.

So, a runner who ranked in the 20th percentile in a marathon had a better time than 20% of everyone who entered the race.

the 90th percentile indicates you’re in the top 10%, and 90% of everyone is lower than you on the chart.
