Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below. Reyna got a score of 75.3; this version has a mean of 69.3 and a standard deviation of 12. Kaitlyn got a score of 228.4; this version has a mean of 206 and a standard deviation of 28. Cade got a score of 7.88; this version has a mean of 7.2 and a standard deviation of 0.4. If the company has only one position to fill and prefers to fill it with the applicant who performed best on the aptitude test, which of the applicants should be offered the job?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Due to the higher z-score, Cade should be offered the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

If the company has only one position to fill and prefers to fill it with the applicant who performed best on the aptitude test, which of the applicants should be offered the job?

Whoever had the higher z-score.

Reyna:

Reyna got a score of 75.3; this version has a mean of 69.3 and a standard deviation of 12.

This means that [tex]X = 75.3, \mu = 69.3, \sigma = 12[/tex]

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

[tex]Z = \frac{75.3 - 69.3}{12}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex]

Kaitlyn:

Kaitlyn got a score of 228.4; this version has a mean of 206 and a standard deviation of 28.

This means that [tex]X = 228.4, \mu = 206, \sigma = 28[/tex]

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

[tex]Z = \frac{228.4 - 206}{28}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.8[/tex]

Cade:

Cade got a score of 7.88; this version has a mean of 7.2 and a standard deviation of 0.4. This means that [tex]X = 7.88, \mu = 7.2, \sigma = 0.4[/tex]

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

[tex]Z = \frac{7.88 - 7.2}{0.4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.7[/tex]

Due to the higher z-score, Cade should be offered the job.

Consider this quadratic equation
X^2+2x+7=21

Answers

Answer:

x = sqrt(15) - 1 or x = -1 - sqrt(15)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 + 2 x + 7 = 21

Subtract 7 from both sides:

x^2 + 2 x = 14

Add 1 to both sides:

x^2 + 2 x + 1 = 15

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x + 1)^2 = 15

Take the square root of both sides:

x + 1 = sqrt(15) or x + 1 = -sqrt(15)

Subtract 1 from both sides:

x = sqrt(15) - 1 or x + 1 = -sqrt(15)

Subtract 1 from both sides:

Answer: x = sqrt(15) - 1 or x = -1 - sqrt(15)

write an equation of a line that is parellel to x=8 and that passes through the point -3,-2

Answers

Since the line is parallel to x = 8, the slope doesn't change.

In this case, the slope is undefined so nothing changes.

All we need to do is find the x-coordinate in (-3, -2). The x-coordinate is -3.

So, the equation will be x = -3

Audrey collected 4⁄5 pint of blueberries. Addison collected 12 times as many pints of blueberries as Audrey. How many pints of blueberries did Addison collect?

Answers

Answer:

48/5≈ 9 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

12 is the same thing as 12/1

so your multiply fractions

4/5 times 12/1

numerator=top

denominator=bottom

so to multiply a fraction you multiply the numerator times the numerator

so in that case your multiplying 4 times 12

=48

to find the bottom half you multiply the denominator times the denominator

in that case is 5 times 1

=5

numerator/denominator

48/5

if you want to simplify it further simply divide 48/5

5 goes into 48 about 9 times

and were left with 3/5

so 9 and 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The quarterback Tom Brady completes 60% of his passes. To simulate the outcome of a single pass we use the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to represent the outcome "the pass is completed" and the digits 6, 7, 8, and 9 to represent the outcome "the pass is not completed." To be confident that our simulation is accurate, one needs to :

A. Repeat the simulation several more times
B. Assign new digits to represent outcomes
C. Take the average of the results of Line 134 and Line 101

Answers

Answer:

A. Repeat the simulation several more times

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of the simulation model is to represent the effectivity of the passes.

The proportion of successful passes is 60%.

As we have 10 digits available, 6 (digits from 0 to 5) are used for the outcome "the pass is completed" and 4 (digits 6, 7, 8, and 9) to represent the outcome "the pass is not completed". This is correct, as it represents a probability of 60% of having a successful pass.

But to have a representative distribution of the possible and probable results, the simulation have to run enough times to have a stable distribution of the results.

Fernanda is filling a cylindrical pot with cans of vegetable soup. The pot has a diameter of 15 in. and a height of 10 in. The soup can has a diameter of 4 in. and a height of 5 in. How many cans of soup will it take to fill up the pot?

Answers

Answer:

28.125 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine the Volume of the Pot

Diameter= 15 inches, therefore Radius=15/2=7.5 Inches

Height =10 Inch

Volume of a cylinder =[tex]\pi r^2h[/tex]

Volume of the Pot [tex]=\pi*7.5^2*10=562.5\pi[/tex] cubic inches.

Step 2: Determine the Volume of each can

Diameter= 4 inch, therefore Radius=4/2=2 Inches

Height =5 In.

Volume of a cylinder =[tex]\pi r^2h[/tex]

Volume of one can [tex]=\pi*2^2*5=20\pi[/tex] cubic inches.

Step 3: Divide the Volume of the Pot by the Volume of the can

To obtain the number of cans that will fill the pot, we divide the Volume of the Pot by the Volume of the can.

Volume of the Pot÷Volume of one can

[tex]=562.5\pi \div 20\pi\\=28.125 \:cans[/tex]

Therefore, we conclude that it takes 28.125 cans to fill up the cylindrical pot of soup.

The product of two consecutive natural numbers is 19 greater than their sum. Find thee numbers.

Answers

Answer:

The numbers are suppose to be natural numbers that is positive integers form 1 upward. So the numbers will be 5 and 6.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of 2 consecutive natural numbers is 19 greater than their sum . We need to understand important terms in this question like consecutive and natural numbers.

Consecutive numbers are numbers that follows each other continuously from smallest to largest.  Natural numbers are numbers that includes all the positive numbers from 1 to infinity example 1, 2, 3, 4............infinity.

Let the consecutive number be a and a+1.

The product of this 2 numbers are when you multiply them. Therefore,

a(a + 1) = a² + a

The sum of the 2 numbers are their addition. Therefore,

a + (a + 1) = 2a + 1

The product is 19 greater than the sum. This means the product of this numbers minus the sum of this numbers is equals to 19.

a² + a - (2a + 1) = 19

a²+ a - 2a - 1 = 19

a²- a - 20 = 0

Find the numbers that can be multiplied to get -20 and added together to get -1. The numbers are 4 and -5

a² + 4a - 5a - 20  = 0

a(a + 4) - 5(a + 4) = 0

(a + 4)(a - 5) = 0

a = - 4 and a = 5

The numbers are suppose to be natural numbers that is positive integers from 1 upward. So the numbers will be 5 and 6.  

To prove it

5 × 6 = 30(products)

5 + 6 = 11(sum)

30 - 11 = 19

given that the quadratic equation (k^2-1)x^2-2kx+3k+1=0 has equal roots show that 3K^3-3K-1=0

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots are equal, so the discriminant equals 0.

b² − 4ac = 0

(2k)² − 4 (k²−1) (3k+1) = 0

4k² − 4 (3k³ + k² − 3k − 1) = 0

k² − (3k³ + k² − 3k − 1) = 0

k² = 3k³ + k² − 3k − 1

0 = 3k³ − 3k − 1

the driveway in front of the brown house is 35 feet long and the driveway of the red house is 7 yards and 9 feet long. which house has a long driveway? by how much

Answers

Answer:

The brown house has the longer driveway

Step-by-step explanation:

So we would need to convert both of these units of measurements to feet in order to compare them.

There are 3 feet in 1 yard

Converting yards to feet, wee need to multiply the number of yards by 3

7 yards = 21 feet

Since the red house has a driveway of 7 yards and 9 feet, we can rewrite this to 21 feet + 9 feet, which is equivalent to 30 feet

Now comparing the two driveways, the 35 ft-long brown driveway is 5 feet longer than the 30 ft-long red driveway.

The brown house has the longer driveway
