	Percentiles		2012-10-17
		From Kenneth: Question from Kenneth: Hello: What is a common calculation used to determine percentiles? For example, five employees have the following salaries: Office worker 1 - $25,000 Office worker 2 - $27,000 Office worker 3 - $30,000 Office worker 4 - $32,000 Office worker 5 - $35,000 What is the percentile rank of office worker 3 who earns $30,000? Here's what I know: Add the number of salaries. Total: 5 Add the smallest number of salaries less than $30,000. There are two. Now, divide 2 by 5 and multiply by 100. 2/5 * 100 = 40 I think the office worker making $30,000 is in the 40th percentile. and I'm not sure what this ranking indicates. I thank you for any helpful reply and or different calculation. Answered by Harley Weston.

	Why use percentiles?		2011-04-29
		From Kenneth: I need some clarification regarding the word "percentile." Here is an example and what I know: If an investor had twenty stocks in his portfolio and five of those stocks paid an annual dividend of $200.00 or more, the five stocks are in the 25 percentile. Why is this word necessary? If my example and explanation is correct, why not simply indicate that 25% of his stocks paid an annual dividend of $200.00 or more? Answered by Penny Nom.

	The range of a projectile		2007-09-18
		From Claudette: This is a maximum minimum problem that my textbook didn't even try to give an example of how to do it in the text itself. It just suddenly appears in the exercises. Problem: The range of a projectile is R = v^2 Sin 2x/g, where v is its initial velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity and is a constant, and x is the firing angle. Find the angle that maximizes the projectile's range. The author gives no information other than the formula. I thought to find the derivative of the formula setting that to zero, but once I had done that, I still had nothing that addressed the author's question. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Claudette Answered by Stephen La Rocque.

	Box and Whisker plots		2001-11-19
		From Rod: In our Prealgebra course, we have been studying Box and Whisker plots. Recently, we learned how to decide whether a data point is an outlier or not. The book (Math Thematics, McDougall Littell) gave a process by which we find the interquartile range, then multiply by 1.5. We add this number to the upper quartile, and any points above this are considered to be outliers. We also subtract the number from the lower quartile for the same effect. My question: where does this 1.5 originate? Is this the standard for locating outliers, or can we choose any number (that seems reasonable, like 2 or 1.8 for example) to multiply with the Interquartile range? If it is a standard, were outliers simply defined via this process, or did statisticians use empirical evidence to suggest that 1.5 is somehow optimal for deciding whether data points are valid or not? Answered by Penny Nom.

	The path of a cannonball		2001-01-15
		From A student: Artillerymen on a hillside are trying to hit a target behind a mountain on the other side of a river. Their cannon is at (x, y) = (3, 250) where x is in kilometers and y is in meters. The target is at (x, y) = (-2, 50). In order to avoid hitting the mountain on the other side of the river, the projectile from the cannon must go through the point (x, y) = (-1, 410). Write the equation for the problem.
