A right parenthesis       )       is missing from this problem statement.  I'm assuming that you meant

<span>3 1/2+( 2+4 1/2).

There are at least two ways in which you could do this problem.  One would be to simply drop the parentheses entirely:

</span><span>3 1/2+ 2+4 1/2                It'd make sense to add 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 together FIRST, and then to add 2 to the result.

Or, do the work inside the parentheses FIRST:  </span><span>3 1/2+( 2+4 1/2).
</span>
This simplifies the problem to    <span>3 1/2+( 6 1/2).

You MUST get the same answer either way.</span>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the use of mathematical properties

Given the expression

3 1/2+( 2+4 1/2)

Applying the associative property rule which says we can add or multiply regardless of how numbers are grouped

Associative property

3 1/2+( 2+4 1/2) can re re-written as

(3 1/2+2) +4 1/2

Commutative property

This rule states that the we can move (commute) figures about and still get same result.

Hence 3 1/2+( 2+4 1/2) can also be expressed as (2+4 1/2+3 1/2)

Or (4 1/2 +2+ 3 1/2)

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

About 6 athletes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are concerned only with the percent of athletes that are above one standard deviation.

Between one standard deviation and two standard deviations, there is 13.6% of the athletes.

From 2 to 3, there is 2.1%. Above 3, there is 0.2%.

The sum of those percentages is 15.9% of 40 = 0.159 · 40 = 6.36 or about 6 athletes.

Hope this helps.
