Last year over 7000 students took an entrance exam at a certain state university. Jenny's score was at the 61st percentile. Deandre's score was at the 19th percentile. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Which of the following must be true about Jenny's and Deandre's scores? Both Jenny and Deandre scored higher than the median. Both Jenny and Deandre scored below than the median. Jenny scored higher than Deandre. Deandre scored higher than Jenny. (b) Which of the following must be true about Jenny's score? About 61% of the students who took the exam scored lower than Jenny. Jenny got about 61% of the questions correct. Jenny's score was in the bottom half of all scores. Jenny missed 39 questions.

So, if Jeriny's score was at the 61st percentile, it means that she scored higher than 61% of the students. Similarly, Deandre's score at the 19th percentile means he scored higher than 19% of the students. Show more…

A private college advertised that last year their freshman students, on average, had a score of 1180 on the college entrance exam. Assuming that average refers to the mean, which of the following claims must be true based on this information? Note: More than one statement could be true. If none of the statements are true, mark the appropriate box: - Last year, at least one of their freshman students had a score of at least 1180 on the exam. - Last year, the number of their freshman students who had a score of 1180 or below on the exam was equal to the number of their freshman students who had a score of 1180 or above on the exam. - Last year, all of their freshman students had a score of more than 950 on the exam. - Last year, at least one of their freshman students had a score of exactly 1180 on the exam. - Next year, some of their freshman students will have a score of at least 1180 on the exam. - None of the above statements are true.

Two students compared the scores on their math tests. Their results on 9 tests are shown in the box plots below. Compare the box plots. Which statements are true? Check all that apply. Ben has the smaller range of test scores. The lower quartile and upper quartile of Nadia's data are both higher than the lower quartile and upper quartile of Ben's data. The median of Nadia's data is equal to the median of Ben's data. Nadia had the highest score on a test. Ben's lowest score was equal to Nadia's lowest score.

Mariela earned the following test scores in math: 95, 90, 100, 85, 80. Mr. Adams accidentally entered Mariela's next test score as 0. Which of these statements are true? Check all that apply. Before the error, the mean and the median were both 90. Before the error, the mean was 90 and the median was 90. The error added an outlier to the dataset. After the error, the median remained the same. After the error, the mean was 75 and the median was 87.5. The mean was impacted by the error more than the median. Only the median was impacted by the error.
