Retail stores experience their heaviest returns on December 26 and December 27 each year. Most are gifts that, for some reason, did not please the recipient. The number of items returned, by a sample of 30 persons at a large discount department store, are observed and the summary statistics below are obtained.

The city of Madison regularly checks the water quality at swimming beaches located on area lakes. The concentration of fecal coliforms, in number of colony forming units (CFU) per 100 ml of water, was measured on fifteen days during the summer at one beach.
With reference to the given data, find the sample 90th percentile.
