Round your answer to three decimal places."

Answer 1

The proportion of students who scored higher on the math SAT compared to the verbal SAT is 0.575, after dividing 207 by 360 and rounding to three decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion for whom the math SAT score is higher than the verbal SAT score can be calculated using the given numbers from the survey. Out of 360 students, 207 had higher scores in math. To find the proportion, you simply divide the number of students who scored higher in math by the total number of students.

The calculation is as follows:

Proportion = Number of students with higher math scores / Total number of students

Proportion = 207 / 360

Proportion ≈ 0.575

After rounding to three decimal places, the proportion is 0.575.
