To find the percentile of a score of 24, we need to determine the percentage of scores that are equal to or below 24. First, we need to rank the scores in order from lowest to highest: 18, 19, 19, 20, 20, 21, 21, 21, 22, 22, 22, 22, 23, 23, 23, 24, 24, 24, 25, 25, 26. There are 18 scores equal to or below 24, out of a total of 21 scores, so the percentile is (18/21) x 100 = 85.7%. Rounded to the nearest whole number, this gives a percentile of 84, which corresponds to choice A.
