Deck 3: Numerical Descriptive Measures
1
An economics lecturer bases his final grade on tutorial work,two mid-semester tests,and a final examination.The tutorial work counts 10% toward the final grade,while each mid-semester test counts 25%.The remaining portion consists of the final examination.If a student scored 95% in tutorial work,70% on the first mid-semester test,96% on the second mid-semester test,and 72% on the final exam,his final average is 79.8%.

In left-skewed distributions,the distance from the smallest observation to Q1 exceeds the distance from Q3 to the largest observation.
True
