Answer:
The number of students who scored more than 90 points is 750.
Explanation:
Quartiles are statistical measures that the divide the data into four groups.
The first quartile (Q₁) indicates that 25% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₁.
The second quartile (Q₂) indicates that 50% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₂.
The third quartile (Q₃) indicates that 75% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₃.
It is provided that the first quartile is at 90 points.
That is, P (X ≤ 90) = 0.25.
The probability that a student scores more than 90 points is:
P (X > 90) = 1 - P (X ≤ 90)
= 1 - 0.25
= 0.75
The number of students who scored more than 90 points is: 1000 × 0.75 = 750.
