Student: The average age of applicants for a new job is 10, with a standard deviation of 8. The hiring manager is only willing to accept applicants whose age is within one standard deviation of the average age. Assuming that all applicants' ages are integers and that the endpoints of the range are included, what is the maximum number of different ages of the applicants?\nOptions:\n(A) 8\n(B) 16\n(C) 17\n(D) 18\n(E) 34.
Another student: Let's say, hmmm...

Minimum age = Average - 1 Standard deviation = 10 - 8 = 2\nMaximum age = average + 1 Standard deviation = 10+ 8 = 18\nMaximum number of different ages of the applicants = 18 - 2 + 1 = 17 Final answer: (C).
