D) $27 < p < 34$
E) $27 > p \geq 34$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symbol "≤" means "less than or equal to" and the symbol "≥" means "greater than or equal to". Thus, the inequality expresses that the tire pressure p is greater than or equal to 27 pounds per square inch and less than or equal to 34 pounds per square inch. Option A correctly uses both of these symbols to express the range of possible values for p.
