using quantile() in r to find value

Question

Using the quantile() function in a class here is my code so far:

p <- seq(.01,.99,.01)

sample_quantiles <- quantile(act_scores, p)

I am trying to find the quantile associated with the value "26" in the data set, as opposed to the inverse:

sample_quantiles[26]

For future questions, please make sure that you format the code correctly. You can find a guideline here. — Fabian B

Please provide the data for the variable act_scores. The Error you get would also be helpful. — Mischa

You can use ecdf for this:

ecdf(act_scores)(26)
