the class mean score on a test was 60 , and the standard deviation was 10 . if jack ' s score was within 2 standard deviations of the mean , what is the lowest score he could have received ?
1 sd from the mean is adding and subtrating the amount if standard deviation from the mean one time . 2 sd from the mean is adding and subtracting twice . 1 sd from the mean ranges from 70 to 50 , where 70 is within sd above the mean and 50 within 1 sd below the mean 2 sd = 10 twice = 20 from the the mean , which is 80 to 40 , where 80 is within 2 sd above the mean and 20 is within 2 sd below the mean . answer = e

jane and ashley take 10 days and 40 days respectively to complete a project when they work on it alone . they thought if they worked on the project together , they would take fewer days to complete it . during the period that they were working together , jane took an eight day leave from work . this led to jane ' s working for four extra days on her own to complete the project . how long did it take to finish the project ?
let us assume that the work is laying 40 bricks . jane = 4 bricks per day ashley = 1 brick per day together = 5 bricks per day let ' s say first 8 days ashley works alone , no of bricks = 8 last 4 days jane works alone , no . of bricks = 16 remaining bricks = 40 - 24 = 16 so together , they would take 16 / 5 = 3.2 total no . of days = 8 + 4 + 3.2 = 15.2 answer is b
