I want to understand the explaination of the 90% line in aggregate report.
What I think it should be: Average of samples with 90% significance, i.e. if
you assume a bell shaped distribution around the mean, this number should be an
average of the middle 90% numbers (as in average after top 5% and bottom 5%
outliers are removed). So that this number could be inferred as "the response
time 90% of your users are likely to see". For example if you have 10 samples
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. 90th percentile should be (2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)/8 = 5.5
it seems to me JMeter reports this number as the 90% value in the sample set.
So for the above sample set JMeter would report 9
Which one of the above two is correct for JMeter?
