Use the following information to answer the next nine exercises: The population parameters below describe the full-time equivalent number of students (FTES) each year at Lake Tahoe Community College from 1976–1977 through 2004–2005.
• μ = 1000 FTES
• median = 1,014 FTES
• σ = 474 FTES
• first quartile = 528.5 FTES
• third quartile = 1,447.5 FTES
• n = 29 years
How many standard deviations away from the mean is the median? Additional Information: The population FTES for 2005–2006 through 2010–2011 was given in an updated report. The data are reported here.
