Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

My older sister's assumption:  My height is short for my age

Position of my height in the class: 9th decile

Question:

Your teacher tells you that your height belongs to the 9th decile in the class assuming you and your classmates have similar ages, would you agree with your sister says?​

Answer:

No, I would not agree with my sister because my height belongs to the 9th decile.  It means that:

  • 90% of my classmates are shorter than me
  • 9 out of 10 in the class are shorter than me
  • My height belongs to the 10 percent of the class who are tall.
