Final answer:

The 4-digit number described by the student's conditions is 3522.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is described as a 4-digit number with various specified attributes.

The first digit is 3.

The second and third digits are consecutive odd numbers whose product is 15, which are 3 and 5. Since only odd numbers can be multiplied to get an odd product and the possible factors of 15 are 3 and 5, these must be the second and third digits.

The last digit is half of one more than my first digit, which means ½ (3+1) = 2.

Finally, the third digit minus the second digit should be one less than the first digit, which is true because 5 - 3 = 2, and 2 is indeed one less than 3.

Therefore, the number in standard form is 3522.
