Answer: 687

Step-by-step explanation:

normally distributed

μ = 498

σ = 108

Top 4%

P(X > a) = 0.04

P(Z > a-498/108) = 0.04

Using the table attached, for the top 4%:

0.50 - 0.04 = 0.46

a-498/108 = 1.75

a-498 = 189

a = 687

The minimum score for the scholarship is 687.

The number 4 is the smallest positive integer that has exactly three factors: 1, 2, and 4. If k is the next-highest integer that
saul85 [17]

To solve this problem, we must do a method of trial and error to find for the next highest integer with exactly three factors. We know that the value of k must be greater than 4, therefore by using trial and error to find for the correct answer:

 

Factors of 5:1, 5

Factors of 6:1, 2, 3, 6

Factors of 7:1, 7

Factors of 8:1, 2, 4, 8

Factors of 9:1, 3, 9

 

Therefore we stop at 9 since this is already our answer. It has exactly three factors.

The sum of the factors is:

sum of factors = 1 + 3 + 9
