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

The figures below are similar; write what you know about the angles and sides.
Nuetrik [128]

Because BLIND is similar to FAITH,

for corresponding sides we can write,

|BL|/|FA| = |LI|/|AI| = |IN|/|IT| = |ND|/|TH| = |DB|/|HF|.

For corresponding angles we can write

m∠B=m∠F, m∠L=m∠A, m∠LIN=m∠AIT, m∠N=m∠T, m∠D=m∠H.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Randomly assigned group. the art class isn't random and only consists of a select type of people--it is not a representative sample; maybe more left handed people enjoy art than do right handed people! therefore, even though the randomly assigned group is smaller, it is the better estimate.

For the graphed function f(x) = (4)x − 1 + 2, calculate the average rate of change from x = 1 to x = 2.
xz_007 [3.2K]
For the function
  f(x) = 4^(x-1) +2
the average rate of change on the interval [1, 2] is found by computing
  (f(2) - f(1))/(2 - 1)
  = ((4^1+2) - (4^0+2)/1
  = (6-3)
  = 3
