Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 612 to 613

Explanation

The unadjusted count is 30×4+60×5+23×4+8×10+2×7=606. Of fourteen factors, four contribute zero, four contribute twelve, and six contribute twenty-four, giving total influence thirty-six. The standard adjustment is 0.65+0.01×36=1.01. Adjusted points are 606×1.01=612.06, within the 612–613 published range.
