a) If a distribution is skewed, it's better to give the median and IQR instead of the mean and standard deviation. b) A man is in the 96th percentile for blood pressure in his age group. This means his blood pressure is better than 96% of those in his age group. c) Two variables X and Y have a correlation of 0. This means the two have no relationship. d) For a continuous random variable X, P(X < x) = P(X < x).
