1. Decompose all numbers into prime factors
300 2 150 2 75 3 25 5 5 5 1 400 2 200 2 100 2 50 2 25 5 5 5 1 500 2 250 2 125 5 25 5 5 5 1
2. Write all numbers as the product of its prime factors
Prime factors of 300 = 22 . 3 . 52
Prime factors of 400 = 24 . 52
Prime factors of 500 = 22 . 53
3. Choose the common and uncommon prime factors with the greatest exponent
Common prime factors: 2 , 5
Common prime factors with the greatest exponent: 24, 53
Uncommon prime factors: 3
Uncommon prime factors with the greatest exponent: 31
4. Calculate the Least Common Multiple or LCM
Remember, to find the LCM of several numbers you must multiply the common and uncommon prime factors with the greatest exponent of those numbers.
LCM = 24. 53. 31 = 6000

Use the normal distribution of SAT critical reading scores for which the mean is 502 and the standard deviation is 116. Assume t

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

(a) 93.19%

(b) 267.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The population mean and standard deviation are given as 502 and 116 respectively.

Consider, <em>X</em> be the random variable that shows the SAT critical reading score is normally distributed.

(a) The percent of the SAT verbal scores are less than 675 can be calculated as:

$P(X$
