The 10th percentile is the value below which 10% of the data falls. In this case, the data is already sorted in ascending order: 8, 8, 12, 16, 18, 19, 22, 25. Since there are 8 data points, 10% of the data is 0.1 * 8 = 0.8 data points. The 0.8th data point is between the 8 and the 12, so the 10th percentile is 8.
