So we are given that the mean is 42% and the sd (standard deviation) is 8%
Assuming our data is normal we can use the 68-95-99 rule

So one thing you should realize is that 42% + 8% is 50% which is passing. That is one standard deviation higher. So we use:
 
100 - 68 - 13.5 - 2.35 - 0.15  = 16. That means 16% of students passed the test. Which is terrible. They probably need to hit the books more.

Anyways if you have any question feel free to message me!
Hopes this helps!

Algebraic Reasoning please help!
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7\\4\\2\end{array}\right]

The answer is a single-column matrix (7,4,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In such multiplication of matrices, you have to proceed by multiplying each ROW of the first matrix by the COLUMN of the second matrix.  So,

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&6&1\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\0\\1\end{array}\right] = (3 * 2) + (6 * 0) + (1 * 1) = 6 + 0 + 1 = 7

then...

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&4&0\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\0\\1\end{array}\right] = (2 * 2) + (4 * 0) + (0 * 1) = 4 + 0 + 0 = 4

and

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&6&2\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\0\\1\end{array}\right] = (0 * 2) + (6 * 0) + (2 * 1) = 0 + 0 + 2= 2

I hope it helps.

One pump can fill a swimming pool in 72 hours. A second pump can fill the same pool in 60 hours. If
Studentka2010 [4]
I’m not sure but i think 66 hours because both pumps must fill half of the pool which would split the timing for each which would make pump 1 take 36 hours to fill half and pump two take 30 hours to fill the rest. when you add these hours it equals 66. i hope i helped :)
