<p>@Vanilla and 20, Thanks. I probably read the question wrong then. Damn. There goes my 800. I don’t think I’ve gotten any wrong on critical reading or writing yet.</p>
<p>What was the answer to the question with the cone above the cylinder?</p>
<p>@Jlee, yes it was.</p>
<p>Since everyone is posting at a high rate, I will post my corrected proof here.</p>
<p>The median question was m=r.</p>
<p>We wish to show that the median and the range in the second set are equal.</p>
<p>Let S be a set of 15 positive integers such that the range of S, denoted by r<em>s, is equal to the median of S, denoted by m</em>s. That is,</p>
<p>(1) r<em>s=m</em>s.</p>
<p>Let a and b be the smallest and greatest members of S, respectively. Note,</p>
<p>r_s=a-b.</p>
<p>By (1) we have,</p>
<p>r<em>s=m</em>s=a-b.</p>
<p>Now let the set T consist of all the members of S multiplied by 4. Denote the range of T by r<em>t and the median of T by m</em>t. Note that</p>
<p>r<em>t=4a-4b=4(a-b)=4(r</em>s)=4(m_s).</p>
<p>But, by our operation to create set T, the element in T corresponding to m<em>s is 4m</em>s. Note that if a number is the median of a set, and all element of that set are multiplied by a constant, then that number multiplied by that constant is the median of the new set.</p>
<p>Thus,</p>
<p>r<em>t=4(m</em>s)=m_t</p>
<p>QED.</p>
<p>Alternatively, if you don’t want to read through my proof you can see the error in your solution if you look closely enough at the least step. You mixed your numbers up.</p>
<p>so what is the consensus on the serene river question?
No error, or “before finally”?</p>
<p>I put no error…</p>
<p>And if you guys want curves google Erik the red sat curve</p>
<p>for those considering canceling not all schools accept score choice so they often can see you’re poor scores</p>
<p>Yeah but you guys need to realize most schools don’t think too highly of the student who takes the SAT four, five, or six times and finaly scores just as highly as the kid who only took it once or twice. Stanford, I know for a fact, makes you send them in all of your scores from every time you’ve taken it. I believe Cornell does too. Those are just two of countless examples.</p>
<p>@red definitely sqrt 6</p>
<p>evoke…epitomize

<p>was it evoke?</p>

<p>@tristesse. Yes. It was evoke.</p>
<p>@jlee of course they’d do that after we’re done taking the Sats, right?</p>
<p>Does anyone remember from the mrs flowers passage if but was satire or exaggeration</p>
<p>VanillaThunder,</p>
<p>I got the same answer that you did for the circle question (25/9). Did you read the question closely? Everyone else seems convinced the larger circles radius was 8, but I am like 50% sure I read the question correctly. I want some reassurance.</p>
<p>@tristesse I’m pretty sure it was evoke.</p>
<p>@tristesse - evoke…epitomize</p>
<p>You can use Score Choice for ANY colleges and they WILL NOT FIND OUT if you take the scores out of your transcripts</p>
<p>@jschoolio,
exaggeration</p>
<p>And jlee
questions can get thrown out because of ambiguity but nobody is as twisted as us to come to the conclusions we did, so it won’t :,(</p>
<p>@jschoolio I put satire but was stuck between those 2 choices</p>
