A company issues a general knowledge test to its potential employees as part of its recruitment procedures. The company does not invite the lowest scoring 20% back for a second interview. If the scores on this test are normally distributed with a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 17. What mark (to the nearest whole number) must a candidate achieve in order to secure a second interview

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Lowest scoring 20% ; this corresponds to score below (1 - 0.2) = 0.8

Mean, m = 60

Standard deviation, s = 17

Zscore = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Therefore, the Zscore for the bottom 20% equals ; P(x > Z) = 0.8

Using a Z probability calculator ;

The Zscore = -0.842

Therefore to Obtian the score, x

Zscore = (x - mean) / standard deviation

-0.842 = (x - 60) / 17

-0.842 * 17 = (x - 60)

-14.314 = x - 60

-14.314 + 60 = x

x = 45.686

To secure a second interview, candidate must score, 46 (nearest whole number).

Answer 2

The marks (to the nearest whole number) must a candidate achieve in order to secure a second interview is 46 and this can be determined by using the z-score formula.

Given :

A company issues a general knowledge test to its potential employees as part of its recruitment procedures.The company does not invite the lowest scoring 20% back for a second interview.If the scores on this test are normally distributed with a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 17.

Let 'x' be the mark must a candidate achieve in order to secure a second interview.

So, through the z-score formula, the value of 'x' can be determined.

[tex]\rm z_{score} = \dfrac{x-mean}{Standard\; Deviation}[/tex]

[tex]\rm -0.842 = \dfrac{x-60}{17}[/tex]

[tex]17\times -0.842 = x - 60[/tex]

x = 60 - 14.314

x = 45.686

So, the marks (to the nearest whole number) must a candidate achieve in order to secure a second interview is 46.

The average commute to work (one way) is 25 minutes according to the 2005 American Community Survey. If we assume that commuting times are normally distributed and that the standard deviation is 6.1 minutes, calculate the probability that a randomly selected commuter spends for the following cases.
1. More than 31 minutes commuting one way.
2. Less than 8 minutes commuting one way.

Answers

Answer:

1. 0.1635

2. 0.0026

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability in the following cases are as follows:

1.

Given that

Mean = 25 minutes

ANd, the standard deviation is 6.1 minutes

So here the z score would be

= (31 - 25) ÷(6.1)

= 0.98

Now the probability is

= P(Z>0.98)

= 0.1635

2. the z score would be

= (8 - 25) ÷(6.1)

= -2.79

Now the probability is

= P(Z<-2.79)

= 0.0026

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

a² + b² = c²

28² + b² = 35²

784 + b² = 1225

b² = 1225 - 784

b² = 441

b = 21 ft

∴ b = 21 ft is the length of the missing leg.

Find the value of x and y. Select all that apply. Please show your work :) image is attached

Answers

Answer:

x = 29

y = 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

y° = (3x + 23)° => corresponding angles are congruent)

(2x + 12)° + y° = 180° => linear pair

Thus:

(2x + 12)° + (3x + 23)° = 180° => substitution

2x + 12 + 3x + 23 = 180

Add like terms

5x + 35 = 180

5x = 180 - 35

5x = 145

x = 145/5

x = 29

✔️y = (3x + 23)°

Plug in the value of x

y = 3(29) + 23

y = 110°

Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 4.8 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 0.7 mm. For a randomly found shard, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

Answers

Answer:

0.0051 = 0.51% probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 4.8 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 0.7 mm.

This means that [tex]\mu = 4.8, \sigma = 0.7[/tex]

(a) Probability that the the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

pvalue of Z when X = 3. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{3 - 4.8}{0.7}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.57[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.57[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0051

0.0051 = 0.51% probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm
