The Plattsville Glee Club is sending 8 of its members to a singing contest in Cincinnati, Ohio. The cost will be $588 per person. How much will it cost for the entire group of 8 students to attend?

Both Brian and Jermaine solve the problem. Brian says the answer is $40,704. Jermaine's answer is $4,604.

Round the cost per person to the nearest hundred and estimate the total cost.

A reasonable estimate is $
.

Although Jermaine's answer seems reasonable, neither Brian nor Jermaine solved the problem correctly. Find the errors in Brian's and Jermaine's work.

Complete the explanation of the error Brian made.

When Brian multiplied the tens, he wrote the total number of tens in the product instead of regrouping, so the
place values
of his product are incorrect.

Determine if the following statement is true or false. the normal curve is symmetric about its​ mean, mu. choose the best answer below. a. the statement is false. the normal curve is not symmetric about its​ mean, because the mean is the balancing point of the graph of the distribution. the median is the point where​ 50% of the area under the distribution is to the left and​ 50% to the right.​ therefore, the normal curve could only be symmetric about its​ median, not about its mean. b. the statement is true. the normal curve is a symmetric distribution with one​ peak, which means the​ mean, median, and mode are all equal.​ therefore, the normal curve is symmetric about the​ mean, mu. c. the statement is false. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, it is impossible for any distribution to be symmetric about the mean. d. the statement is true. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, all distributions are symmetric about the mean.
