I. What score was earned by more students than any other score? Why?
II. What was the highest score earned on the exam?
III. What was the lowest score earned on the exam?
IV. According to Chebyshev's Theorem, how many students scored between 32 and 92?

Hi,
For a particular sample of 77 scores on a psychology exam, the following results were obtained.
First quartile = 42 Third quartile = 69 SD=+10 Range+=+54
Mean = 62, Median = 56 Mode+=+83 Midrange+=+highlight%2866%29
I. What score was earned by more students than any other score? by defn.Mode+=+83
II. What was the highest score earned on the exam? %28%28x-54%29%2Bx%29%2F2+=+66, x =+93
III. What was the lowest score earned on the exam? 93-54+=+highlight%2839%29
IV. According to Chebyshev's Theorem, how many students scored between 32 and 92? 1+-+1%2F10%5E2+=+1-.01+=+.99, .99%2A77 = 76.23 or 76
V. Assume that the distribution is normal. Based on the Empirical Rul...
how many students scored between 52 and 72? .68+%2A+77+=+52.36 OR 52
The empirical rule says that if you go 1 standard deviation out from the mean that you will capture 68 % of your data
