Since we cannot be 100% sure which test Frank did better on, we need to find a way to make the comparison doable. This can be done by converting Frank's score to the standard score (or also known as the z-score).

The z-score is calculated through the following formula:
Z= \frac{X-mean}{deviation} where X is Frank's original score.

Converting Frank's scores to a standard score accounting for both the mean and standard deviation of the population who took the test will make the comparison possible.

We get the following z-scores after conversion:
Z_{Bio}= \frac{55-60}{10} =-0.5
Z_{Chem}= \frac{70-80}{15} =-0.67

If you read up more on the concept of z-score, you may know that this score just means the amount of standard deviations a data falls with respect to the mean. Comparing Frank's two scores, we can see that they are both below the mean. However, it can be seen that Frank's z-score for his chemistry test is lower than his z-score for his biology test.

This suggests that Frank scored relatively poorer in chemistry than he did in biology.

ANSWER: Frank did better in his biology test.

Otieno is k years old.He is 5 years older than kidole what will be their age fours to come​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Otieno's age in 4 years: k+4

Kidole's age in 4 years: k-1

Step-by-step explanation:

k = Otieno's age

k-5 = Kidole's age

Their ages will increase by 4 years when 4 years pass.

k+4 = Otieno's age in 4 years

k-5+4 = Kidole's age in 4 years

k-1 = Kidole's age in 4 years (after simplifying the expression)

I hope this helps!

In a right triangle, the acute angles measure 2x+50 and 3x degrees
xenn [34]
2x+50 + 3x= 90 degrees
5x +50 = 90
5x =40
x=8

Angle1= 2(8) +50= 66
Angle2= 3(8)=24

66+24+90= 180
