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

Eight friends are going bowling together if they each rent a pair of bowling shoes for $2.00, they each play two
Mnenie [13.5K]

2.00+1.50= 3.50.

3.50x8= 28.00

I'm assuming they each paid 41.00 dollars for two games,

41.00x8= 328.00

328.00+28.00= $356.00

Hope this is correct and/or it helps!

Sorry, didn't realize my mistake.
