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.

Aging workers of the Neotropical termite, Neocapritermes taracua, develop blue crystal containing glands ("backpacks") on their backs, When they fight intruding termites and are hampered, these "blue" termites explode, and the glands spew a sticky liquid (Sobotnik et al. 2012). The following data are from an experiment that measured the toxicity of the blue substance. A single drop of the liquid extracted from blue termites was placed on individuals of a second termite species, Labiotermes labralis, and the number that were immobilized (dead or paralyzed) within 60 minutes was recorded. The frequency of this outcome was compared with a control treatment in which liquid from glands of "white" termites lacking the blue crystals was dropped instead.
Is the blue liquid toxic compared to liquid from white termites?
Liquid source Unharmed Immobilized
Blue workers 3 37
White workers 31 9

Answers

Answer:

The blue liquid is toxic

Step-by-step explanation:

From the calculations I have done and attached to this problem

Null hypothesis:

H0 : p1 <= p2

Alternate hypothesis:

H1 : p1 > p2

^p1 = 0.925

^p2 = 0.2250

^P = (x1 + x2)/(n1+n2)

= 0.575

After calculating, I got test statistics = 6.33 ( check attachment)

P(z > 6.33) = 0.0000

In conclusion, our pvalue has been found to be less than the level of significance 0.05 so we reject null hypothesis and accept that we have enough sample evidence that the blue liquid is more toxic in comparison to white one.

Please check attachment for calculated test statistics.

Harriet earns the same amount of money each day. Her gross pay at the end of 7 workdays is 35h+56 dollars. Which expression represents her gross pay each day?

5h+8
8h+5
7h+11.2
11.2h+7

Answers

Answer:

the answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 7 work days is represented by a linear equation

The expression that represents her gross pay each day is 5h + 8

What are linear equations?

Linear equations are equations that have constant rates

How to determine the linear equation

The earning at the end of 7 work days is represented as:

35h + 56

To calculate the gross pay, each day:

We divided the total earnings by 7

So, we have:

[tex]Gross =\frac{35h + 56}{7}[/tex]

Evaluate the quotient

[tex]Gross =5h + 8[/tex]

Hence, the expression that represents her gross pay each day is 5h + 8

1. Let f(x) be defined by the linear function graphed below and
g(x) = x2 - 9x + 14.
I
A. Describe the right end behavior of g(x).

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A). g(x) = x² - 9x + 14

     Since coefficient of highest degree term (x²) is positive, parabola will open upwards.

    For any parabola opening upwards,

    Right end behavior,

    y → ∞ as x → ∞

B). Let the equation of the linear function is,

    f(x) = mx + b

    Where m = slope of the function

    b = y-intercept

    From the graph attached,

    Slope 'm' = [tex]\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}=\frac{-(2+1)}{(0+1)}[/tex]

    m = -3

    b = -1

    Therefore, function 'f' will be,

    f(x) = (-3)x - 1

    f(x) = -3x - 1    

    g(x) = x² - 9x + 14

           = x² - 7x - 2x + 14

           = x(x - 7) - 2(x - 7)

           = (x - 2)(x - 7)

    If h(x) = f(x)g(x)

    h(x) = -(3x + 1)(x -2)(x - 7)

    For h(x) ≥ 0

    -(3x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 7) ≥ 0

     [tex]x\leq -\frac{1}{3}[/tex] Or 2 ≤ x ≤ 7

    Therefore, for 2 ≤ x ≤ 7, h(x) ≥ 0

C). If k(x) = [tex]\frac{h(x)}{(x-2)}[/tex]

    k(x) = [tex]\frac{-(3x+1)(x-2)(x-7)}{(x-2)}[/tex]

    k(x) = -(3x + 1)(x - 7)

    For k(x) = -56

    -(3x + 1)(x - 7) = -56

     3x² -20x - 7 = 56

     3x² - 20x - 63 = 0

     3x² - 27x + 7x - 63 = 0

     3x(x - 9) + 7(x - 9) = 0

     (3x + 7)(x - 9) = 0

     [tex]x=-\frac{7}{3},9[/tex]

Given that BD is an angle bisector

Solve for m

Answers

Answer:

24 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

since BD is an angle bisector, the given numbers are equal to each other

this means that you can write the equation as: 6x = x + 20

subtract x from both sides to move the variable to one side, this leaves you with: 5x = 20

then divide both sides by 5 to find x: x = 4

now substitute this into the value given for angle ABD: 6(4)

this gives you 24 degrees

Help me in this is for tonight This is the article PRESIDENT CLINTON: My fellow Americans, today our armed forces joined our NATO allies in airstrikes against Serbian forces responsible for the brutality in Kosovo. We have acted with resolve for several reasons.We act to protect thousands of innocent people in Kosovo from a mounting military offensive.We act to prevent a wider war, to defuse a powder keg at the heart of Europe, that has exploded twice before in this century with catastrophic results.We act to stand united with our allies for peace. By acting now, we are upholding our values, protecting our interests, and advancing the cause of peace.Tonight I want to speak with you about the tragedy in Kosovo and why it matters to America that we work with our allies to end it.First, let me explain what it is that we are responding to. Kosovo is a province of Serbia, in the middle of south eastern Europe and about 160 miles east of Italy. That's less than the distance between Washington and New York, and only about 70 miles north of Greece.Its people are mostly ethnic Albanian and mostly Muslim.In 1989 Serbia's leader Slobodan Milosevic, the same leader who started the wars in Bosnia and Croatia, and moved against Slovenia in the last decade, stripped Kosovo of the constitutional autonomy it's people enjoyed, thus denying them their right to speak their language, run their schools, shape their daily lives. For years, Kosovar's struggled peacefully to get their rights back. When President Milosevic sent his troops and police to crush them, the struggle grew violent.Last fall, our diplomacy, backed by the threat of force from our NATO alliance, stopped the fighting for awhile, and rescued tens of thousands of people from freezing and starvation in the hills where they had fled to save their lives. And last month, with our allies and Russia, we proposed a peace agreement to end the fighting for good. The Kosovar leaders signed that agreement last week.Even though it does not give them all they want, even though their people were still being savaged, they saw that a just peace is better than a long and unwinable war.The Serbian leaders, on the other hand, refused even to discuss key elements of the peace agreement. As the Kosovars were saying yes to peace, Serbia stationed 40,000 troops in and around Kosovo in preparation for a major offensive and in clear violation of the commitments they had made. in the school there is 1 boy for every 4 girls. there is a total of 11 boys how many girls are in choir Consider a 400g baseball thrown from a height of 1.8m at 35m/s:a.
