A student discovers that his grade on a recent test was the 72 nd percentile. If 90 students wrote the test, then approximately how many students received a higher grade than he did?
a.In an aquaculture study the following variables were measured on each fish: sex. Initial weight (g), body
temperature (C), weight gain (g). For each variable indicate the scale of measurement.
(b) A weed killer is to be applied at a rate of two ounces per 1000gallons of water (2oz/1000
gallons). What is the application rate in ml/1000litrtrs if there are 28.375 ml/oz and 4.5
liters/gallon?
(c) The term test scores of 15 students enrolled in a Business statistics class were recorded in
ascending order as follows 4, 7, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 15, 15, 17, 17, 19, 19, 20. After calculating
