Not really. You shouldn't assume you are in the last 5%. Statistically, by definition, it is most likely (though not certain) that you are not.

- jodrellblank 15y agoThat's the sort of analysis I'm questioning - it's also 95% likely that I'm not in the second-last 5%, and the same for the third-last 5% and for any 5% slice. How can we usefully reason anything from a start like that?
