Using the percentile concept, it is found that 10 students scored lower than he did.
<h3>What is the meaning of the percentile of a measure?</h3>
When a measure is in the xth percentile of a data-set, it is greater than x% of the measures and lesser than (100 - x)%.
In this problem, he scored on the 20th percentile, that is, higher than 20% of the 50 students. Then:
0.2 x 50 = 10.
10 students scored lower than he did.

Answer: D) Increase the sample size and decrease the confidence level.
Step-by-step explanation:
A reduced interval width means that the data is more accurate. This can only be achieved if the sample size is increased because a larger sample size is able to capture more of the characteristics of the variables being tested.
A smaller confidence interval will also lead to a reduced interval width because it means that the chances of the prediction being correct have increased.
Sqrt(1-3x)=x+3
[sqrt(1-3x)]^2=(x+3)^2
1-3x=(x+3)(x+3)
1-3x=x^2+6x+9
-3x=x^2+6x+8
0=x^2+9x+8
The answers are -1 and -8 BUT, we have to plug them back into the original equation to make sure we don't get a negative under the square root sign.
After doing this, we realize that only -1 works, so the answer is x=-1
Sorry that this took forever to answer. I was thinking of a good way to explain this, and if you need any further explanation, message me:)

Answer:
m=7
Step-by-step explanation:
1 blue jar = 21 marbles
1 blue jar = 3 red jars
Therefor
21 marbles= 3 red jars
(Now let m=1 red jar)
21= 3m
(Then sine we have 3m dived both sides by 3 to isolate the m)
21/3= 3m/3
7=m
The answer is the first one:
bc its not growing by a (-)1/2 and the 3rd one just doesnt make sense
