Student grade point averages (GPAs) are calculated by assigning a number to each letter grade earned, with A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1 and F = 0, then finding the average. A student proposes using the median of the numbers instead and calls this medGPA. A student has taken five courses (all an equal number of credit hours) and the grades were A, A, F, B, A. The usual GPA for these grades is 3.0 . Should the student prefer using the median (medGPA)?
 a. No, because medGPA is F = 0 for this student.
  b. It doesn't matter, because medGPA is also B = 3.0 for this student.
  c. Yes, because medGPA is A = 4.0 for this student.
  d. No, because if the student takes one more course and gets an A or B, the usual GPA will go up but the medGPA will stay the same.

Question 2

The five numbers in a five-number summary are the
 a. lowest value, mean, median, mode, and the highest value.
  b. lowest value, lower margin of error, median, upper margin of error, and the highest value.
  c. lowest value, lower quartile, median, upper quartile, and the highest value.
  d. lowest value, 2nd lowest value, middle value, 2nd highest value, and the highest value.
