"More than 60% of the students scored below the mean on the last test." Can this statement be true? Why or why not?

The mean is the average of a set of numbers.

So if the remaining 40% of students score 100 points, and the 60% score like 50 points, then the mean would still be 70 points because of the 40% of students that scored super high.

So yes, it can be true.

Hey! Hope that I can help.

This can be true if the 60% of students scored really low and the 40% that didn't score below scored really high. Example: 20 kids in the class. 12 of the kids (60%) got 10% on their last test. 8 of the kids got 100%. The mean: ((10x12)+(100x8)) / 20 = 48. The mean is 48, but 60% of students got 10.

Answer: Yes

Convert the rate 1000 fluid ounces per 2 hours to cups per minute
Ronch [10]
There are 8 ounces in a cup, so there are 125 cups in 1000 ounces.
1000 / 8 = 125
there are 60 minutes in an hour and 120 minutes in 2 hours
so 1000 ounces / 2 hours is
125 cups / 120 minutes
125 / 120 = 1.04 cups per minute

Check your work
multiply times 60 to get cups per hour
1.04 * 60 = 62.4 cups per hour
multiply times 8 to get ounces per hour
62.4 * 8 = 499.2
multiply times 2 to get ounces per 2 hours
499.2 * 2 = 998.4
the number is not quite 1000 due to rounding the 125 / 120 as it is closer to 1.041666666666667
