Buen día colegas.
Estoy traduciendo un programa de estudios de la carrera de psicología de español a inglés, y en una unidad sobre estadística y aritmética, mencionan: ojivas, cuartiles, pencitiles.
No tengo idea de estadística y como no encuentro por ningún lado "pencitiles" se me ocurre que puede haber un typo. Pero repito, lo digo desde mi ignorancia en el tema.
Desde ya les agradezco su ayuda.

percentile
It's almost certainly a typo. It should be "percentiles", which the RAE deeines as: "Valor que divide un conjunto ordenado de datos estadísticos de forma que un porcentaje de tales datos sea inferior a dicho valor. Así, un individuo en el percentil 80 está por encima del 80% del grupo a que pertenece."
