ISP 1  \nB. ISP 2  \nC. ISP 3  \nD. ISP 4  \nE. ISP 5  \nThe correct answer is (C).  \nWe need to calculate the percentage of score of 86 and above for each category according to the following formula:  \n(\\# of scores of 86 and above for ISP / total \\# of scores for ISP) x 100 ISP 1: (458 / 2,168) x 100 = 21. 1%  \nISP 2: (470 / 1,937) x 100 = 24.3%  \nISP 3: (75 / 1,437) x 100 = 5. 2%  \nISP 4: (124 / 1,493) x 100 = 8.3%  \nISP 5: (389 / 1,540) x 100 = 25.3%  \nWe can see that ISP 3 had the lowest percentage of scores of 86 and above.  \nQuestion \\#3  \nInternet Service Providers (ISP) -Satisfactory Survey Scores  \nNo . of Votes  \n1,200  \n1,000  \n800  \n600  \n400  \n200  \n0  \nISP 1 ISP 2 ISP 3 ISP 4 ISP 5  \nWhat is the ratio of the number of scores above 50 and below 86 to the total number of scores in the survey?  \nA. 2.85:1  \nB. 1:3 .85  \nC. 1:1 .35  \nD. 3:4  \nE. None of the above  \nThe correct answer is (C).  \nIn order to answer this question, we need to carefully follow these steps:  \n1. Sum up the number of scores above 50 and below 86, i.e. the number of scores in the 51-65 category plus the number of scores in the 66-85 category: 398+387+586+892+254+1,056+854+687+452+785 = 6,351  \n2. Sum up the number of scores in the remaining categories (50 and below +  \n86 and above): 256+226+89+25+112+458+470+75+124+389 = 2,224  \n3. Calculate the total number of scores in the survey by summing up the results: 6,351+2,224 = 8,575  \nThe ratio of the number of scores above 50 and below 86 to the total number of scores in the survey is 6351:8575 .  \nSince the result is not compatible with any of the options, we might be tempted to select the “None of the above” option. However, taking a careful look at the options, we can see that option (C) is in fact equal to our result, since dividing both sides of the ratio by 6,351 yields the result of 1:1 .35.  \nNote: The same ratio can be expressed in numerous ways. In our case, the ratio of 6351:8575 can be expressed as 1:1 .35, 0.74:1, 3:4 .05 etc. Option (D) presents a ratio which is very close to the required ratio. However, since the ratio presented in option (C) is closer, this option is more accurate tha","cbCaia05LCxh3SzI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia05LCxh3SzI","pdf",1493428,11,"English","# Question 1\n# Question 2\n# Question 3\n# Question 4\n# Question 5","[{\"question\":\"How is the proportion of scores 50 and below for ISP5 calculated?\",\"answer\":\"Compute (number of scores 50 and below for ISP5 ÷ total number of scores for ISP5) × 100, using the given category counts.
