Anyway, I need a little help in understanding a certain problem.

data 1: 10, 20, 25, 28, 31, 35, 37, 38, 38, 39, 39, 42, 46

data 2: 23, 39, 40, 41, 43, 47, 51, 58, 63, 66, 67, 69, 72

For data 1,
sample mean = 52.23
median = 51
standard deviation = 14.86
upper fourth (or quartile?) = 66
lower fourth (or quartile?) = 41

For data 2,
mean = 32.92
median = 37
SD = 9.93
upper fourth (or quartile?) = 39
lower fourth (or quartile?) = 28

The solutions manual and my TI-83 Plus calculator agrees with me on all those answers except the lower/upper fourths (or quartiles?).

For data 1, my calculator says:
upper quartile = 66.5
lower quartile = 40.5

For data 2, calc says:
upper quartile = 39
lower quartile = 26.5

To find fourths (or quartiles?), I generally understand about splitting your samples in one half of the lower values and the other half of higher values, and then find the median in each of those halves.

I don't think they understand that it is a life threatening mental illness and has the highest death rate of any mental disorder! So many people think it's caused just by the media and s who want to be thin. That's ridiculous. Does anyone know why people make fun of something they don't even understand?

No need to be Jewish to recognized the Holocaust. Even the Nazis admitted it at the end of the war in 1945. Of course they used all kinds of excuses to justify it but it didn't work. Any serious reader of Adolf Hitler, Nazi Germany and World War II will accept the Holocaust as a given truth. No more nor less. What do you think?

It's a blonde joke it kinda came from another one but whatever.

There's 2 blondes one of them has a granade and throws it to the other one. The second blonde thinking she outsmarted the first one said: "You forgot to pull the pin out *****!!" So she pulls out the pin and throws it to the first blonde but her being blonde and all kept the granade and threw the pin.

No offense to blondes i just find these kind of jokes funny. I made it up star if you like it!

I went in for a free consultation to get a full bikini done and ended up walking out ($3800 later) with a package for my bikini AND my full legs. I have had one treatment (which DOES hurt, don't let them tell you it doesn't) but now I'm getting a little worried that I may have been scammed. I have read a few bad reviews about people that have paid for the 6 treatment package and still have lots of hair to this day.

Has anyone had this treatment done? If so, what were/are your results? Thank you to anyone that may be able to share your personal experience!

Is the NVIDIA GeForce 6100 graphics card at least an okay card to play games on? Will it handle black and white 2? I don't want to spend a bunch of money on a new card, but I was wondering if the card mentioned above that is coming with my comp--will I have to be worried if it could play like up to 2006 and maybe some 2007 games?

Is there any function f(t) which images the half of a circle in the time domain more or less like this?:
(I don't mean the sinus function here)

f(t)
l
l......._---_
l..../............\ ------->this should be the half of a circle
l..l............. ..l....(the periods are only to replace the space key)
l---------------------------> t

So what the the function should do, i think, is to evaluate the distance between the diameter line (which would be t-domain line in this case) and the upper arc of the half of the circle.
Is this posible?

Thanks!!

The purpose of life is to love others, and the best religion is one that brings one closest to God.

I am thinking of selling my second residence in California. I originally put $60,000 down and owe $140,000. It is now worth approx. $400,000.

I realize I have to pay capital gains, and understand the way around it.

My question is, do I have to pay capital gains on the whole $400,000 (or sale price) or just on the profit once I pay off the $140,000?

Thanks
