What is the probability that a student takes at most 55 minutes to complete the test? The patient recovery time from a particular surgical procedure is normally distributed with a mean of 7 days and a standard deviation of 2.1 days.

    50% of the data is below the median, and 50% of the data is above the median. To find the quartiles, we find the median of the lower half and upper half of the data set. The median, first quartile Q1,...50% of the data is below the median, and 50% of the data is above the median. To find the quartiles, we find the median of the lower half and upper half of the data set. The median, first quartile Q1, and third quartile Q3, together with the minimum and maximum values in the set, make up the five number summary. When a set contains an odd number of values, the middle value is not included in the lower or upper half of the given data set to compute the quartiles.

    If events \(A\) and \(B\) are mutually exclusive, the probability that event \(A\) or event \(B\) will occur is the sum of the individual probabilities.

What is the probability that a randomly selected adult in the US is divorced or separated? What is the probability that a randomly selected adult in the US is separated or female? This rule is useful when the computation of the probability of event \(A\) is complicated, but the probability of the complement of \(A\) is simpler.

(Fill in the blank with the appropriate inequality).

Below is Bruno’s calculation of the sample standard deviation for a sample of five pro basketball players by hand. Use desmos to compute the mean and sample standard deviation for the miles per gallon. Round the mean to one decimal place and the sample standard deviation to two decimal places.
