A university has two criteria used to set admission standards for freshman to be admitted to a college in the university's system. (a) Students' GPAs and scores on standardized tests (SATs and ACTs) are entered into a formula that calculates an "admissions index" score. The admissions index score is used to set eligibility standards intended to meet the goal of admitting the top 10% of high school students in the state. In this context, what percentile does the top 10% represent? students who are at or below the 10th percentile students who are at or above the 10th percentile students who are at or above the 90th percentile students who are at or below the 90th percentile Students whose GPAs are at or above the 94th percentile of all students at their high school are eligible (called eligible in the local context), even if they are not in the top 10% of all students in the state. What percentage of students from each high school are "eligible in the local context"? 10% of students 90% of students 94% of students 6% of students Student grades on a chemistry exam were: 78, 79, 76, 81, 85, 50, 79, 82, 84, 98 Part (a) Construct a stem-and-leaf plot of the data. (Use the tens digit as the stem and the ones digit as the leaf. Enter your answers from smallest to largest, separated by spaces. Enter NONE for stems with no leaves.) 5 6 7 8 9
