If a student's IQ score and math score both fall into the 50th percentile, which of the following is true?

  1. The student's IQ is higher than the math score

  2. The IQ and math score match

  3. The student's math score is higher than the IQ

  4. The student answered 50% of the questions correctly

The correct answer is: The IQ and math score match

This means that the student's IQ and math score are both in the middle range compared to the scores of other students. This does not necessarily mean that the student's IQ is higher or lower than their math score. Also, the 50th percentile does not indicate the percentage of questions that the student answered correctly. It only shows the student's ranking among other test-takers. Therefore, A, C, and D are incorrect interpretations of the given information.
