6 0

Answer:

  (a)  2%

Step-by-step explanation:

A score of 60 is 2 standard deviations below the mean (80 -2·10 = 60). The empirical rule tells you that 95% of the distribution is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The remaining 5% is split evenly between those that are more than 2 SD above the mean and those that are more than 2 SD below the mean.

That tells you the percentage who failed is about 2.5%. The best answer choice is 2%.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The empirical rule is a little bit sloppy, but it gets you in the ballpark. The actual percentage is closer to 2.275%.

every sixth visitor to an animal shelter gets a free animal calendar every twentieth visitor gets a free animal toy. Which visit
Akimi4 [234]
Here we have a case of the least common multipl(lcm) of 6 and 20.
Prime numbers 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19... (natural numbers greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself) .
lcm(6,20)= 6 20 | 2
                  3 10 | 3
                  1 10 | 2
                       5 | 5
                       1
2*3*2*5=60 The first one to get both calendar and the animal toy will be 60th.
 
Explenation: First we look for the smallest prime number with wich 6 and 20 can be devided by. That is 2. Next is 3. Since 10 is not divisible by 3, we only copy it. Under the 6 we got 1, wich is our goal. Now we continue to devide 10 by prime numbers till we also get 1. We now multiple all divisors and we get the least common multiple.
