I would like to estimate the ACT scorespercent of enrolled freshmanfreshmen at a particular university who have each possible ACT score.

I know that ACT scores can only be integers 36 or lower and, for a particular school school, I know that:

75% of freshmen have a 33 or lower 25% <= 31 13% <= 29 1% <= 23

  • 75% of freshmen have a 33 or lower
  • 25% <= 31
  • 13% <= 29
  • 1% <= 23

What family of distribution is appropriate given the discrete values that max out at 36?

How should I go by about coming up with a reasonable distribution?

(My first question to SO;question; please be gentle.)
