Answer:

​σ = 2 (option a)

Step-by-step explanation:

You would want the smallest standard deviation possible.

Think of it like this: if everyone, other than you, got only 50, 51, 52, 53 then you would be the ultimate highest position in the class.

As opposed to being an average position if the scores were about                      49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60 ---your score would not put you in the highest position in the class distribution.

So, a standard deviation of ​σ = 2 would give you the highest position in the class distribution.

The ratio of dogs to cats at an animal shelter is 33 to 22. How many dogs are at the shelter if there is a total of 3030 animals
Elena-2011 [213]
D : c = 33 : 22
where d is the number of dogs and c is the number of cats;
and: d + c = 3030
33 c = 22 d  / : 11
3 c = 2 d
From the other equation: c = 3030 - d
3 * ( 3030 - d ) = 2 d
9090 - 3 d = 2 d
5 d = 9090
d = 9090 : 5
d = 1818
Answer: There are 1818 dogs in the shelter.
