In a normal distribution, the median is the same as the mean (25.3). The first quartile is the value of

such that

You have

For the standard normal distribution, the first quartile is about

, and by symmetry the third quartile would be

. In terms of the MCAT score distribution, these values are


The interquartile range (IQR) is just the difference between the two quartiles, so the IQR is about 8.8.
The central 80% of the scores have z-scores

such that

That leaves 10% on either side of this range, which means

You have

Converting to MCAT scores,


So the interval that contains the central 80% is

(give or take).
Answer: true
Step-by-step explanation: first you divide its circumference by pi, which you then get 17.990. Round it to 18. Then use the diameter (18) and divide it by 2. You get 9.
Answer:
There are two numbers 10 units from zero on the number line. These are 10 and -10.
Step-by-step explanation:
On a number line, if you move a pointer ten units right and left you will land on 10 and -10.
Answer:
3(10 + 4) = 34 + 6 = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Barbara has 30 school supplies plus an extra 4. Lisa on the other hand has 6. In total they have 40.
The volume of a triangular prism is V = 1/2 x a x c x h where a is height of the triangle, c is the base of the triangle and h is the height of the prism.
120 = 1/2 x a x c x h; we write a from the previous equation in terms of c and h thus,
a = 240 / ( c x h)
If the dimensions where halved then a = a/2 ; c = c/2 ; h=h/2
We use the volume formula again and substitute the given values to find the new volume,
V = 1/2 x a/2 x c/2 x h/2
Substitute the previously determined a term,
V = 1/2 x (240/2ch) x c/2 x h/2
We cancel and evaluate the constants therefore the new volume is,
V= 15 cm^3
