For a list of data, where the arithmetic mean is denoted by m, the standard
deviation of the data refers to the nonnegative square root of the mean of the
squared differences between m and each of the data. This statistic is also known
as the population standard deviation and is not to be confused with the sample
standard deviation.
The same of the population standard deviation, but, as opposed to dividing by (n), divide by (n-1)
Result

The mean of the random variable X is the sum of the products XP(X) for all values of X. It's also ca
expected valueor the mean of the probability distribution.

The mean of the random variable X is the sum of the products XP(X) for all values of X. It's also ca
expected valueor the mean of the probability distribution.

The mean of a continuous random variable X is the point m on the x-axis at which
region under the distribution curve would perfectly balance if a fulcrum were
placed at x=m. The median of X is the point M on the x-axis at which the line
x=M divides the region under the distribution curve into two regions of equal
area.

Mode is the number that occurs more frequently

Excluding Q2 from the

numbers is particularly
important when the list
has an odd number of
terms.

On the GRE QC's, always warm up your imagination and have a

out for ---"could I answer this without doing a full calculation?
So.... Pay attention to the things explained in the videos that m
seem obvious, but you usually don't use to solve questions! (fo
example, the "example" part of the line about "weighed avera
this plan"

Exemplo

B is not
necessarily true,
because the last
term of the
lesser number
and the first term
of the greater
numbers can be
equal to each
other and the

there cannot be repetitions, it may be a permutation

2 passo: Aproxime o resultado para cima
15,524... => 16
3 passo: Ache todos os nmeros primos menores que o resultado dado.
Os primos menores que 16 so 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 e 13
4 passo: Veja se algum desses primos dividem o nmero inicial.
Nenhum dos primos obtidos(2, 3, 5, 7, 11 e 13) dividem 241. Portanto, 241 primo!

The mean of the random variable X is the sum of the products XP(X) for all values of X. It's

The mean of a continuous random variable X is the point m on the x-axis at which
region under the distribution curve would perfectly balance if a fulcrum were
placed at x=m. The median of X is the point M on the x-axis at which the line
x=M divides the region under the distribution curve into two regions of equal
