Answer: 3/10
Step-by-step explanation:
3, 6, and 9 are all divisible by 3. therefore, there's a 30% chance.
Part A: Charlie's answer is incorrect
In step 2 of Charlie's answer he subtracted 5 from each side. Since 5x is multiplication, he must DIVIDE each side by 5 to get x by itself. The problem should have worked out like this...
Step 1: 5x = 30
Step 2: x = 30/5
Step 3: x = 6
Part B: There is only 1 solution for this problem.
Answer:
The minimum score that an applicant must make on the test to be accepted is 360.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A highly selective boarding school will only admit students who place at least 2.5 standard deviations above the mean on a standardized test that has a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 24.
To find : What is the minimum score that an applicant must make on the test to be accepted?
Solution :
We apply the z formula,

Where, z value= 2.5
is the mean of the population
is the standard deviation
x is the sample mean.
Substituting the values in the formula,





Therefore, The minimum score that an applicant must make on the test to be accepted is 360.
The last one :)
Because it’s the answer
