What does being in the top [blank] percent mean?
In: 0
Take all of the examples of things you are measuring and line them up in order from best to worst, best on top.
Slice off the top [blank] percent of them and put them in a bucket.
If something is in the “top [blank] percent”, it would now be in the bucket.
Another way to think about it: if you are in the top X%, then it means (100 – X)% of everyone else is worse than you. E.g. if you’re in the top 5%, then (100 – 5)% = 95% of people are worse than you.
“Bottom %” is the same concept but it describes the worst instead of the best.
