Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below. Emilio got a score of 76; this version has a mean of 70.6 and a standard deviation of 9. Alissa got a score of 298.8; this version has a mean of 282 and a standard deviation of 24. Tobias got a score of 8.04; this version has a mean of 7.2 and a standard deviation of 0.4.

Required:
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:

Tobias did best on the aptitude test.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

For Emilio

Emilio got a score of 76; this version has a mean of 70.6 and a standard deviation of 9.

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = 76 - 70.6/9

z = 0.6

For Alissa

Alissa got a score of 298.8; this version has a mean of 282 and a standard deviation of 24.

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = 298.8 - 282/24

z = 0.7

For Tobias

Tobias got a score of 8.04; this version has a mean of 7.2 and a standard deviation of 0.4.

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = 8.04 - 7.2/0.4

z = 2.1

Looking at the calculated z score above, we can see that Tobias did better on his aptitude test because he had a higher z score compared to Emilio and Alissa.

On a drive from your home to town, you
wish to average 60 mph. The distance from
your home to town is 78 miles. However,
at 39 miles (half way), you find you have
averaged only 45 mph.
What average speed must you maintain in
the remaining distance in order to have an
overall average speed of 60 mph?
Answer in units of mph.

Answers

Answer:

Your average speed must be 90 mph in the remaining distance in order to have overall average speed of 60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of distance is d = v × t, where

v is the average speedt is the time

∵ You  wish to average 60 mph on a drive from your home to town

∵ The distance from  your home to town is 78 miles

→ Find the time of your journey using the rule above

∴ 78 = 60 × t

→ Divide both sides by 60

∴ [tex]\frac{78}{60}[/tex] = t

t = [tex]\frac{13}{10}[/tex] hours

∵ You have averaged only 45 mph in the first 39 miles (half way)

∴ v1 = 45 mph

∴ d1 = 39 miles

→ Find the time of this part

∴ 39 = 45 × t1

→ Divide both sides by 45

∴ [tex]\frac{39}{45}[/tex] = t1

t1 = [tex]\frac{13}{15}[/tex] hour

→ Subtract the time of the first part from the time of the journey to

  find the time for the second part

∵ t2 = t - t1

∴ t2 = [tex]\frac{13}{10}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{13}{15}[/tex]

t2 = [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex] hour

→ Now let us find the average speed of the second part of his journey

∵ d2 = 39 miles ⇒ (78 - 39)

∵ t2 = [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex] hour

∴ 39 = v2 × [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex]

→ Divide both sides by [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex]

∴ 39 ÷ [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex]  = v2

∴ 90 = v2

v2 = 90 mph

Your average speed must be 90 mph in the remaining distance in

   order to have overall average speed of 60 mph

a. Every increase in coral growth of one centimeter will result in an average of 5.25 fewer degrees Celsius of sea surface temperature per year.
b. Every increase in coral growth of one centimeter will result in an average of 5.25 more degrees Celsius of sea surface temperature per year.
c. Every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.1578 more centimeters of coral growth per year.
d. Every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.1578 fewer centimeters of coral growth per year.

Answers

Data for the question :

Sea surface temperature 26.7 26.6 26.6 26.5 26.3 26.1

Growth 0.85 0.85 0.79 0.86 0.89 0.92

Answer:

d. Every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.1578 fewer centimeters of coral growth per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Surface Temperature (X) : 26.7 26.6 26.6 26.5 26.3 26.1

Growth (Y) : 0.85 0.85 0.79 0.86 0.89 0.92

Using a regression calculator, we can find the model equation and extract the slope :

The regression equation obtained is :

y=5.039-0.1578x

From y = mx + c

Where m = gradient or slope

c = intercept

x and y are predictor and predicted variables respectively.

Hence, the gradient or slope (m) of the model = - 0.157. We have a negative slope, hence, increase in x will result una decrease in y.

The slope thus means: for every 1 degree increase in sea surface temperature (x), there is an average decline of about 0.1578 cm in growth per year.

The temperature at 2:00 AM was -15° Fahrenheit. The temperature rose by 3 ° each hour. What was the temperature at 6:00AM?​

Answers

Answer:

9 degrees farenehit

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:   -3 degrees Fahrenheit.

=====================================================

Explanation:

x = number of hours since 2 AM

y = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit

The starting temperature is -15 degrees, so the y intercept is b = -15.

The temperature goes up 3 degrees each hour, so the slope is m = 3

The equation is y = 3x-15

Now plug in x = 4 since 6 AM is four hours after 2 AM.

We get the following

y = 3x-15

y = 3*4-15

y = 12-15

y = -3

The temperature at 6 AM is -3 degrees Fahrenheit.

-------------------------

Check:

Start at -15 and add 3 for each hour

It might help to make a number line.

2 AM = -15 degrees

3 AM = -12 degrees

4 AM = -9 degrees

5 AM = -6 degrees

6 AM = -3 degrees

This confirms the answer.

Find mo 8 5 m n o
Mo=

Answers

Answer:

MO is 13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If point lies on a segment, then this point divides the segment into two parts, the sum of their lengths equals the length of the segment

Point N ∈ segment MO

→ That means point N divide segments MO to two parts MN and NO

∴ Point N divides segment MO into two parts MN and NO

→ That mans the length of segment MO equals to the sum of

   lengths of MN and NO

MO = MN + NO

∵ MN = 8 units

∵ NO = 5 units

∴ MO = 8 + 5

MO = 13 units

Mark reeds 42 pages of a book every 3/4 of an hour write an equation that models the relationship between Z, the number of hours mark reads, NY, the number of pages of the book He reads

Answers

Answer:

The equation that models the relationship between Z and N is N = 56 Z

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where

m is the rate ⇒ slopeb is the initial amount ⇒ y-intercept

∵ Mark reads 42 pages of a book every [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of an hour

→ Find his rate per hour by dividing the number of pages by its time

His rate of reading = 42 ÷  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] = 42 ×  [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] = 56 pages per hour

∵ His rate = 56 pages/hour

m = 56

Z represents the number of hours Mark reads

→ That means replace x in the form of the equation above with Z

N represents the number of pages of the book he reads

→ That means replace y in the form of the equation above with N

∴ N = 56 Z + b

There is no initial amount of reading

b = 0

N = 56 Z

The equation that models the relationship between Z and N is N = 56 Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the antilog of the second equation, we have ...

  x/y^2 = 10

  x = 10y^2

Substituting this into the first equation gives ...

  (10y^2)y = 80

  y^3 = 8 . . . . . . . . divide by 10

  y = 2 . . . . . . . . . . cube root

  x = 10·2^2 = 40

The solution is (x, y) = (40, 2).
