"i did n ' t understand how to connect 20 percent with the whole equation . why 20 is out of the percentile diagram ( circles ) but inside of 100 ? 20 % appeared in the exam ; however did not answer question aquestion b correctly so they are out of the two circles , however as they have appeared in the exam , they have to be taken into consideration for calculation purpose i am doing it this way : suppose the total class size is 100 , then 20 percent of the class answered incorrectly and rest 80 percent answered correctly in question 1 or 2 or both . now , 100 - [ ( 75 - x ) + x + ( 30 - x ) ] = 20 . . . . . . . . . . values are in percent x = 20 - 100 + 105 x = 25 ans : a"

if the median of a list of numbers is m , the first quartile of the list is the median of the numbers in the list that are less than m . what is the first quartile of the list of numbers 42 , 24 , 30 , 22 , 26 , 27 , 33 and 35 ?
it is given that a quartile is the middle number of all numbers less than median . . so lets arrange the number in ascending order - 42 , 24 , 30 , 22 , 26 , 27 , 33 and 35 22 , 24 , 26 , 27 , 30 , 33 , 35 , 42 , . . . numbers less than median are 22 , 24 , 26 , 27 . . the median of these numbers = center of 24 and 26 = 25 e

if x is a number such that x ^ 2 + 4 x - 5 = 0 and x ^ 2 + x - 20 = 0 , then x =
x ^ 2 + 4 x - 5 = ( x + 5 ) ( x - 1 ) = 0 then x = - 5 or x = 1 . x ^ 2 + x - 20 = ( x - 4 ) ( x + 5 ) = 0 then x = 4 or x = - 5 . thus x = - 5 . the answer is d .
