q: The average age of applicants for a new job is 35, with a standard deviation of 30. The hiring manager is only willing to accept applicants whose age is within one standard deviation of the average age. Assuming that all applicants' ages are integers and that the endpoints of the range are included, what is the maximum number of different ages of the applicants?
Options:
(A) 8
(B) 16
(C) 31
(D) 18
(E) 34
a: Minimum age = Average - 1 Standard deviation = 35 - 30 = 5
Maximum age = average + 1 Standard deviation = 35+ 30 = 35
Maximum number of different ages of the applicants = 35- 5 + 1 = 31 The answer is (C).

(A) 120 m
(B) 100 m
(C) 324 m
(D) Cannot be determined

Options:
(A) 150 m
(B) 145 m
(C) 100 m

Speed = 60*(5/18) m/sec = 50/3 m/sec
Length of Train (Distance) = Speed * Time
(50/3) * 6 = 100 meter The answer is (C).
