<li>defnitely E (99th+ eprcentile), but i put D (95 - 99th percentile).. so sucks to be me.</li>
</ol>
<p>use graphing calc, 1 - binom(84, 120, 74, 2) = 0.999999</p>
<p>I thought I compromised my credibility enough with the intersection question;
now a stupid mistake with the 42deg-6-4 triangle question aggravates my crime of misleading.
Sorry, I was cryptic in posting the question. The side 6 was adjacent to 42 deg angle and the side 4 was opposite. That's impossible.</p>
<p>
Of course qnoob, you were correct.
Since the side adjacent to 42 deg angle is 6, the height of the triangle is 6*sin(42) = 4.01. I got it right so far, but I then came to the wrong conclusion (2 triangles).
The side opposite to the 42 deg angle can not be 4: it should be greater than the height 4.01.
The answer: no triangles.</p>
<p>qnoob, ColdEggNog, and everybody else who used the law of sines got it right without a hitch.</p>
<p>
I can't post the questions, and I already got two incorrect answers.
Here's the deal: you start the thread with answers only and I'll join it.

<p>the percentile one was so obvious if you knew statistics. just to the right of 3 standard deviations from the mean will be the 99.7 percentile.</p>
<p>GAH. That was a bad test for me. Here's hoping to a generous curve...</p>
<p>expecting 800 anyone?</p>
<p>Well, I'm down 2 for sure. Maybe -4 at max and I omitted 3 questions, 1 one which I realized later I forgot to type a 0 in the calculator so the calculations came out incorrect each time ... -_-. </p>
<p>Dude, Asians sure are freakin freakin fast at math. The guy beside me had a normal casio scientific calculator and he finished the test 30 minutes early. I guess he rechecked his whole test and then went to sleep for 10 minutes. The guy in front of me was like that too... well, so was 70% of the people in there lol!!! I guess I'm not worthy of being an Asian.</p>
<p>I have never seen so many Asian people together in my life before today lol (I live in St. Louis where there aren't many test centers for SAT).</p>
<p>I am expecting an 800. That test was mad easy.</p>
<p>Im expecting an 800.</p>
<p>I left 3 blank. I may have gotten 2 wrong max.</p>
<h1>50 was really simple if you used z-scores</h1>
<p>z = (actual - mean) / (standard deviation)</p>
<p>z = (84-74) / 2 = 5</p>
<p>anyone with a stats background knows a z-score of 5 is extremely high, so 99%+ is the only choice there.</p>
<p>i never thought stats would pay off - that class was a joke. lol</p>
<p>or u could just use the empirical rule</p>
<p>I'm expecting 800. I omitted the last question because I had no clue, and I probably got a few wrong. This will definitely make up for my 700 on the Math SAT I.</p>
<p>yea i'm expecting a 800 too. so far i've got 2 or 3 wrong and don't know if more wrongs pop up. can't wait for nov 22.</p>
<p>are u sure Nov22 is when the scores come out</p>
<p>i think its nov 20th</p>
<p>Yea its Nov. 20th. I answered 49 questions and max got 2 wrong.</p>
<p>I think I only answered 35, GOD i hate math</p>
<p>Oh god, I'm like retarded compared to you guys.</p>
<p>I skipped four and like randomly guessed 6 since I am OCD and hate leaving too many things blank. </p>
<p>I'd be lucky to have 750 =( Guess I'm redoing in Dec.</p>
<p>Some people were saying the curve on this might be harsh because it was easier, so if I omitted 8 and missed 4-5, what score do you think I would get?</p>
