So we are given that the mean is 42% and the sd (standard deviation) is 8%
Assuming our data is normal we can use the 68-95-99 rule
So one thing you should realize is that 42% + 8% is 50% which is passing. That is one standard deviation higher. So we use:
100 - 68 - 13.5 - 2.35 - 0.15 = 16. That means 16% of students passed the test. Which is terrible. They probably need to hit the books more.
Anyways if you have any question feel free to message me!

Lowest common denominator-> 6
1/2 multiply both top and bottom by 3 to get it in sixths
1/6+3/6=4/6
4/6 simplifies to 2/3.
2/3 is the simplest form to your question.
Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
A- It will be smaller, because we're finding a part of a number, and it's no more than 100 percent.
B- It would be greater. It's more than 100 percent, which accounts for the whole value, and goes even more.
Hope this helps!
