InstructionsInstructionsIf the question requires computation, do the calculations and then give or select the correct values using the following rule:Keep at least 4 decimal places at intermediate steps of a calculation, and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, unless otherwise noted. For example: 16.6667 would become 16.67 after rounding(In the course notes for Module 7, probabilities such .678934 are instead rounded to four decimal places, so the correct way to report the aforementioned probability is .6789)Multiple AttemptsThis test allows 2 attempts.
