Answer:

His actual score is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating Wayne’s actual score on the ACT

when we say the scores have being standardized, it means the score was reported in terms of the z-score and not the initial raw scores.

Now, mathematically, for the scores to have a negative z-score, it means it is actually below the mean.

The formula for the z-score or standard score is given below;

z-score = (x - mean)/SD

where in this case, x = ? which is the score we are looking for , z-score = -0.5 , mean score = 18 and standard deviation of the scores = 6

So, substituting these values into the z-score equation, we have;

-0.5 = (x-18)/6

x-18 = 6(-0.5)

x -18 = -3

x = -3 + 18

x = 15

MAY DAY MAY DAY, HELP
Pavlova-9 [17]

Have you heard the expressions "shooting fish in a barrel" or
"taking candy from a baby" ?

I've decided to take your points and try not to feel guilty about it.

A).  That's it !  That's the equation, for ANY basketball on Earth. 
You wrote it right there in your question.

In that equation that you wrote, the ' r ' is the initial velocity. 
You said that Adam tossed it straight up, and it was going 10 meters per second
   when it left his hand. 
So ' r ' in the equation is +10.
The equation is:
                             <em>d = 10t - 5t²  </em>  .
It tells you how high the ball is above its tossing height after any number of seconds.
The ' t ' in the equation is the number of seconds.  Any letter could have been used,
but ' t ' was cleverly selected because it stands for 'time'.

B).  You want to know where it is after 0.5 second ?    All you have to do is put '0.5'
into the equation wherever there's a ' t '.  Do you really need somebody to do that
for you ?

Well, OK.  You're being so overly generous with your points . . .

         Distance = 10 t - 5 t²

         Distance = 10 (0.5) - 5 (0.5)²

         Distance =     5       - 5(0.25)

         Distance =     5       -  1.25

         <em>Distance =        3.75 meters </em>

                                <u>positive</u> 3.75 means <u>above</u> Adam's hand. 

A thinking exercise:
-- He tossed the ball upwards at  10  meters per second.
-- Why is it not  5  meters above his hands after  0.5  second?

Butoxors [25]
0.7x-1.4=-3.5
Add 1.4 to both sides:
0.7x=-2.1
Divide 0.7 to both sides:

Paraphin [41]
The manufacturer sells 506,970 units or air-conditioning. The number of units to  be replaced is 20% of that. So,
506970 (0.20) = 101394 units are to be replaced
Since full-replacement extended warrant costs $113 per unit, we have:
101394 ($113) =  $11,457,522

The answer is
<span>b. $11,457,522</span>
