In all, 1000 students took a statistics exam worth 150 points. The first quartile (or Q1) for all 1000 scores is 90 points. About how many students had scores greater than 90 points?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The number of students who scored more than 90 points is 750.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quartiles are statistical measures that the divide the data into four groups.

The first quartile (Q₁) indicates that 25% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₁.

The second quartile (Q₂) indicates that 50% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₂.

The third quartile (Q₃) indicates that 75% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₃.

It is provided that the first quartile is at 90 points.

That is, P (X ≤ 90) = 0.25.

The probability that a student scores more than 90 points is:

P (X > 90) = 1 - P (X ≤ 90)

                = 1 - 0.25

                = 0.75

The number of students who scored more than 90 points is: 1000 × 0.75 = 750.
