Answer 1

Answer: • The probability of a randomly selected test having a score higher than 4 is 0.15.

This is the correct interpretation of P(X > 4). P(X > 4) represents the probability of a randomly selected test having a score that is greater than 4. This is calculated by summing up the probability of all the scores that are greater than 4 in the distribution table.
