Evaluate ?*Form and you'll see several relevant options (and irrelevant ones too). NumberForm, ScientificForm, and EngineeringForm apply especially. Try for instance: Number[Quantile[dist, 0.8],12] However... you shouldn't look for more accuracy in the answer than you provide in the input (loosely speaking). Is 0.8 a very precise number? If not, the answer you already have may be deceptively precise.
