A college admissions office uses the following equation to predict the grade point average of an incoming student:
z = 0.003x + 0.8y − 4,
where z is the predicted college GPA on a scale of 0 to 4.3, and x is the sum of the student’s SAT Math and SAT Verbal on a scale of 400 to 1600, and y is the student’s high school GPA on a scale of 0 to 4.3. The college admits students whose predicted GPA is at least 2.3.
Will a student with SATs of 1050 and high school GPA of 3.0 be admitted
Answer:
A. No because Z = 1.55 which is less than the required predicted college gpa of 2.3 for admission.
Step-by-step explanation:
Z = 0.003x + 0.8y - 4
X = sat score
Y = high school gpa
Z = predicted college gpa
X =1050
Y = 3.0
Z = .003 *(1050) + 0.8*(3.0) -4
Z = 1.55 which is less than the required predicted college gpa of 2.3 for admission
