i think they gave us 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 ,0.5 and 0.6</p>
<p>The median was 88. 3 of the temperatures were above it, 3 were below, so obviously the missing temperature is 88.</p>
<p>@CrzyGmer789X2
Agree</p>
<p>@Lucas.</p>
<p>The answer is (y-x)^2 then. (y-x) will always result in a negative number, and it becomes positive when it’s squared. The compiled answers lists the answer incorrectly as (x-y)^2</p>
<p>Reposting this because the compiled answers lists it incorrectly I think?</p>
<p>I agree it was the missing temperature but didnt the question ask for the 7th day temp. That means it would be 3rd temp above 88 which happened to be 94.</p>
<p>@ cookiemonster7
they gave us temp. for the first 6 days
so if u reorder those temp.
you will get sth like
80 83 85 blank (median) 90 93 95 (i made up those numbers)</p>
<p>median is the middle number of a set ordering from least to greatest, doesn’t matter what day it is in this case.</p>
<p>so blank will be the 7th day’s temp.</p>
<p>It just happened to be that 88 is BOTH the median AND the 7th day temperature, I think that is what confuses many people.</p>
<p>@davis: thanks again.
I think I put 0.4 but might have but 0.2…</p>
<p>Maybe I’m just crazy</p>
<p>0.4 is the correct answer.</p>
<p>^that was what i got too.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m sure that 0.4 is right.
I’m just scared that I put 0.2 because I make stupid mistakes like that.</p>
<p>Was (y-x)^2 an option for the which will be positive question?</p>
<p>Or was it only (x-y)^2?</p>
<p>lumionuzz- it was one or the other. not both, so whichever would have been correct.</p>
<p>is it safe to assume -1 would be 770</p>
<p>^ most definitely, unfortunately, yes.</p>
<p>If i left about 4 blank, assuming that everything else was correct… am i looking at a 700?</p>
<p>Hm math is this harsh? No chance of -1 = 780?</p>
<p>I think you would get 700.</p>
<p>@kareem, if you left 4 blank, then yeah, a 700 looks about right. And Lumin, after the curve given on January’s test, I doubt it.</p>
