Mr. Lockwood likes to garden. In his garden, he has already 5 potatoes and he grows 2 more every year. He also already had 20 tomatoes to start with, but for some reason he loses 3 each year. When will he have the same amount of potatoes and tomatoes? How many of each will he have at the time he has the same amount? Write and equation to represent both vegetables.

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z score, which of these z scores would you prefer: minus2.00, minus1.00, 0, 1.00, 2.00? why? a. the z score of 2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations above the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. b. the z score of 0 is most preferable because it corresponds to a test score equal to the mean. c. the z score of minus2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations below the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. d. the z score of minus1.00 is most preferable because it is 1.00 standard deviation below the mean and would correspond to an above average
