Question 13 of 20 0.0/ 1.0 Points
Accepted characters: numbers, decimal point markers (period or comma), sign indicators (-), spaces (e.g., as thousands separator, 5 000), “E” or “e” (used in scientific notation). NOTE: For scientific notation, a period MUST be used as the decimal point marker.
Complex numbers should be in the form (a + bi) where “a” and “b” need to have explicitly stated values.
For example: {1+1i} is valid whereas {1+i} is not. {0+9i} is valid whereas {9i} is not.
The histogram below represents scores achieved by 250 job applicants on a personality profile.
Sixty percent of the job applicants scored below what value? Place your answer in the blank. Do not use any stray symbols. For example, 123 would be a legitimate answer.
