    Abstract: In this paper, the equivalence of the sample pth quantile of a distribution and the kth order statistic of a random sample obtained from the distribution is reviewed. Based on the review, a new corollary on the almost sure convergence of the kth order statistic to the pth quantile was obtained without proof. Through an extensive Monte Carlo simulat... Show More
