Answer:

82.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean score (μ) = 80

Standard deviation (σ) = 5

The 70th percentile of a normal distribution has an equivalent z-score of roughly 0.525.

For any given score, X, the z-score can be determined by:

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

For z = 0.525:

0.525=\frac{X-80}{5}\\ X=82.62

A raw score of approximately 82.62 corresponds to the 70th percentile.

Answer: the raw score that corresponds to the 70th percentile is 82.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the population of scores in the aptitude test is normally distributed., we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = aptitude test scores.

µ = mean score

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 80

σ = 5

We want to find the raw score that corresponds to the 70th percentile.

70th percentile = 70/100 = 0.7

Looking at the normal distribution table, the z score corresponding to 0.7 is 0.525.

Therefore,

0.525 = (x - 80)/5

5 × 0.525 = x - 80

2.625 = x - 80

x = 2.625 + 80

x = 82.625

In the book Business Research Methods, Donald R. Cooper and C. William Emory (1995) discuss a manager who wishes to compare the
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Null hypothesis is: U1 - U2 ≤ 0

Alternative hypothesis is U1 - U2 > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves a comparison of the two types of training given to the salespeople. The requirement is to set up the hypothesis that type A training leads to higher mean weakly sales compared to type B training.

Let U1 = mean sales by type A trainees

Let U2 = mean sales by type B trainees

Therefore, the null hypothesis (H0) is: U1 - U2 ≤ 0

This implies that type A training does not result in higher mean weekly sales than type B training.

The alternative hypothesis (H1) is: U1 - U2 > 0

This implies that type A training indeed results in higher mean weekly sales than type B training.

What is the length of AC
meriva
Hi!
This is a fun one, as it delves into basic trigonometry.

We're going to use the Pythagorean theorem here, which says that for right triangles where "c" is the hypotenuse,

a² + b² = c²

We have to split this large triangle into two parts, both of which are right triangles. (This is why they drew a line in the middle to tell you that the larger triangle is composed of two right triangles.)

Let's do the one on the right first.

We know that the length of the hypotenuse is 10, and that the length of one of the legs is 6.5. If we plug this into our equation, we'll get the length of the other leg. I'm choosing "b" to be 6.5, but it really doesn't matter if you pick "a" or "b", so long as you reserve "c" for the hypotenuse (longest side).

a² + 6.5² = 10²
a² + 42.25 = 100
a² = 57.75
√a² = √57.75
a ≈ 7.6

Therefore, the length of DC is about 7.6.

Find the length of AD using the same method (7.5 is the hypotenuse "c", and 6.5 is one of the legs "a" or "b"). Then, once you have AD, add the lengths of AD and DC to get AC.

Have a great one!

Please Simplify 5(x - 6)
nordsb [41]

Our equation looks like:

5(x-6)

This means that we will need to distribute. This means that we need to multiply everything inside the parenthesis by the number outside of the parenthesis. (<em>Note: you only distribute when variables are involved.)</em>

(5 \cdot x)-(5 \cdot 6)

Simplify:

5x-30

We cannot simplify any further, so we know that our equation, until we know what x equals, is 5x - 30.
