It takes only one example to prove the statement to be false, and I provided one:\n\n(Now, while you may never naturally encounter the set of numbers I used, the definitions of mean and median fit, so the statement is false.)

Since the question is relative to whether it is good or not:\nYes, it is.\nWould you like us to work it out as well? I appreciate that it must come right out of a quesiton from, perhaps, your homework? Otherwise, why the last sentence? "One hint is that it is related to chapter- 'CIRCLES'" Can you attach that entire chapter for us as well?\n\nThanks!

I actually just had this happen to me.  It was mid trimester and I was doing really bad in Chemistry.  I spoke to the Dean, and he said that a "W" looks better than an "F".  However, he said more than one or two "W"'s doesn't look good either.  He definitely assured me that on won't have that much of an impact.\n\nBTW - I'm applying to dental school, and the Dean said it still wouldn't matter that much.

The test clearly didn't test appropriate placement of apostrophes.\n\nAlso: "I took a test online"  ...     c'mon man, if you're trusting online IQ test results and it gave you a 118, I'd say that test is trying to get in your pants.

The people who said 1600 is the top score are no longer right - under the new system, there are additional sections that add points.  However, a 1400 is still pretty good; right around average.  I would see what your percentiles are (for example, being in the 70th percentile means you scored higher than 70% of the people) for a better idea of how good you did.  The new SAT scores are different, and there's not a real good basis for what's good or bad yet.  However, I don't think you have anything to worry about. :o)

Sorry your answer was wrong.\nMean can be less than median also as median is not affected by extreme numbers at its both ends while mean is.\n\ne.g. find mean and median of following data.\n     1, 3, 5, 9, 18, 180\n\nhere your answer for mean will come to\n               36\n\nwhile if you find median for it then it will come to\n            7\n\nIn this example mean was greater than median.\n\ne.g. -180, 18, 5, 3, 1, 9\nhere your mean is -24\n\nwhile your median is 4.\n\nSo from both example you can say that\n\nnone of them is always greater than other one nor it is always smaller than other one.

Suppose you have a set of numbers:\n\n0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 15\n\nThe median is the middle number when put in least to greatest: 4\n\nThis breaks your list into two halves: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3 and 6, 8, 9, 11, 15.  Your upper quartile is the median of the greater half: 9.  Likewise, your lower quartile is the median of the lower half: 1.\n\nIn the event you have two numbers for a median, take the average of the two and that becomes your median.  In the above example, if you only had 6, 8, 9, 11 for your upper half, your median would be the average of 8 and 9, or 8.5.\n\nAs for your second question (assuming that x belongs in the numerator):\n\n4/5 = (-9/4) - 7x/10\n4/5 + 9/4 = -7x/10\n16/20 + 45/20 = -7x/10\n61/20 = -7x/10\n61/2 = -7x\nx = -61/14

Gosh, momoftwins, I know I've answered many of these types of questions for you many times.  I would hope that my past explanations would've helped you, but I see you are still in the same boat as the first time I answered one of your questions.  If you let me know exactly what it is that you aren't getting, maybe I can explain it to you in a more meaningful way.  :)\n\nGet them over a COMMON DENOMINATOR first, then you can compare:\n\n9/13 = 9/13 * 8/8 = 72 / 104\n\n3/8 = 3/8 * 13/13 = 39 / 104\n\nSo 9/13 is clearly larger than 3/8  (since 72 > 39)\n\n~ ♥ ~

Wow.  You have everything?  Except the .05 for your grades.  Guess what, I got into college with lower than a 2.0 before.  You just need to talk to the teacher and say something like: I really want to go, but will I be able to even though I am .05 below the 8.0 grade scale?  I could boost this up if given the opportunity, but to prevent me from going because of a minor thing such as .05 which is not much compared to 1.0  which is not as close as 7.95 as it is exactly 8.0, so if you are as confused as me, would you consider a solution to this problem because I am so close to having an 8.0.  Do I have to go to summer school to improve that by .05 points in order to go?  Is there something I can do to ensure I can go?  Will I be allowed to go even if I do not meet 8.0?  And out of how many others have perfect scores and are allowed to go?  "Just because something or somebody tells you that you cannot, or you will not do this or that, then you must step up and say how come?  Why?  Then after they answer, do you easily give up?  No, you fight back with your words because you really want to go to L.A.  So, do as I have suggested, stay calm and collected and speak softly, but carry a big stick, that is your mouth, and the words that come out of your mouth shall stick to them faster if you go over it like a rational adult without arguing or complaining.  So, be brave, be courageous and when you are ready to speak, let your heart do the talking for you.  Believe it or not, I have always gotten farther with a positive attitude.  But this nation is so accustomed to complainers and whiners that they easily quit on what they really want to do.  No wonder we have psychology!  So, you really do know what to say now, don't you?  Remember the last time you got what you wanted without asking for it first?  Who hands out anything on a silver platter here?  I work hard and earn everything just like you.  So, having a physical disability didn't keep me from acheiving my goals or accomplishing my dreams.  But others who wouldn't allow me to do these did, and they got the wake up call when I spoke from my heart's content, that they were so touched they just had to give me what I wanted because God did the talking for me.  I am just a vessel He uses to get what He wants for me, believe this and you will not need to know what to say when He speaks through your mouth and out comes the words, and it makes you happy because you gained more bravery.  Or you can accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior since He died for your sins, man.  That we are brothers no matter what anyone else may say or do, and it is because God answered your question through me.  No one in their right mind can reject Him.  Hence the words: Right mind.  That means: Free from stress and disappointment in yourself, as well as others.  And I am not a preacher, yet I preach the message as it is universal understanding of getting from one point to another.  You have the help you require when you help yourself first.  Help yourself by speaking and verbalizing your concerns to the teacher, to the administration, to even the president of the United States, but who is going to listen unless you do something out of the ordinary.  Remember, you are like a stranger in a country of your own.  You speak the language differently now.  You should love yourself, so you may do what you really like, then you can use this to help others love themselves so the entire world will love one another, even their enemies and strangers they do not know.  This is the message and it has never changed.  Do you believe it?  Do you want it?  You have to want it more than going to L.A. in order to get to L.A. for those who trust in Jesus get what they need, and even what they want.  And those who do not, I tell you, are suffering needlessly.

The one for tall students is positively skewed, this means that the probability of a students that are not tall will be reall less.\n\nSo, if you take up a hypothesis in positive sense for checking tall is highly probable that your hypothesis will be true.\n\nThe same fact is observable in the one for shorter students which is negatively skewed.\n\nAs a general rule, the mean is larger than the median in positively skewed distribution and less thanthe median in negatively skewed distirbutions.\n\nI hope if this is not the whole answer, it atleast gives you some hints to right answer.\n\nAll the best

The best rule of thumb is not to spell these things out. Understate the qualification and people will probably still get what you have. Overstating it can seem a bit OTT  :-)

OK. You've posted this (and several other) questions(with exactly the same words and numbers) for the fourth day in a row, and everytime you've asked, one person has responded and we've all got different answers. \n\nI can't tell if you're a student that's gonna keep posting until several people give you the same answer, of if you're just someone that likes making the nerdy people solve chem problems. If you're the latter, you should really find a better use for your time. \n\nIf you're the former, try working the problem yourself and then compare your answers to ours, or compare our approaches, your notes, and textbook and see where they differ. Our different answers can probably be attributed to some math or conversion error. \n\nRemember, when all else fails follow the units and you'll be right more times than not.

Read the book Savage Inequalities by Jonothan Kozol, and you shall have your answers.  There is much more to this issue than access to honors classes.

Dear Lord,\n\nPlease help me circle the wagons!  There is no parallel for my situation.  I'm surrounded by squares who will ace this test and I forgot to study a segment.  Be my ray of light, beaming through a kite of confusion.  Send down your angles to assist me.  I need points on this test.  Please, send me a sine.

I know exactly how you feel! Last week I had an English Test, and I got two wrong answers in multiple choice, I was devastated, just thinking, "if I would just marked the other one". I couldnt stop thinking about that. But after thinking about it I just concluded that I cant make my life miserable for a C grade, when all my other grades are As and Bs, life go on, get over it, besides the school year just began. That test is over, past, now you have to look forward, and study harder for your future tests.\n\nCheer up, and enjoy life\n\nHappy Thanksgiving!!!!!

Just a hint... when answering multiple choice questions, look for KEY WORDS.\n\nI think that the key word here is ONLY.

Well, we know it's not A because the two words sound alike.  Only really confused students give up and pick words that sound alike.  This test does not reward confused students.  A is out.\n\nFor the same reason, C is out.  Demure just sounds like Demur.  Lost students will cling to C.  But this test makes sure lost students fail, so it's not C.\n\nWe have B and D, a 50/50 shot.  Let's do better.  D is a pair of opposites.  B is a pair of synonyms.  Does Demur mean to Concur?  Or does it mean the opposite of Concur?\n\nI think they sound like they mean the same thing.  And I'm right.  The answer is B.
