Answer 1

Answer:

The number of rookies who scored 4 or better is 24.

    2                 7

    3                16

    4                21

    5                  3

Compute the number of rookies who scored 4 or better as follows:

No. of rookies with rankings 4 or more = No. of rookies with rank 4 +

                                                                           No. of rookies with rank 5

                                                                 = 21 + 3

                                                                 = 24

Thus, the number of rookies who scored 4 or better is 24.
