Many companies "grade on a bell curve" to compare the performance of their managers and professional workers. This forces the us

e of some low performance ratings so that not all workers are listed as "above average." Ford Motor Company’s "performance management process" for a time assigned 10% A grades, 80% B grades, and 10% C grades to the company's 18,000 managers.
Suppose that Ford's performance scores really are Normally distributed. This year, managers with scores less than 35 received C's and those with scores above 425 received A's. What are the mean and standard deviation of the scores?
A. μ = 230.0 and σ = 152.3
B. μ = 230.0 and σ = 167.5
C. μ = 230.0 and σ = 140.3
D. μ = 225.0 and σ = 152.3
E. μ = 250.0 and σ = 175.8
F. μ = 250.0 and σ = 168.6

Answer:

option A

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

10% A grades     80% B grades      10% C grades

This year, managers with scores less than 35 received C's and those with scores above 425 received A's.

The mean has to be middle of two corresponding cutoff value

              \mu = \dfrac{35+425}{2}

                      μ = 230

Cutoff Off C grade corresponds with the area of 0.10 is table A.

corresponding z- score according to Table A

           Z = -1.28

now, standard deviation

    z = \dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

    \sigma= \dfrac{x-\mu}{z}

    \sigma= \dfrac{35-230}{-1.28}

       σ = 152.3

Correct answer is option A

<span>Traveled Downstream a distance of 33 Mi and then came right back. If the speed of the current was 12 mph and the total trip took 3 hours and 40 minutes.
Let S = boat speed in still water then                                                                         (s + 12) = downstream speed                                                                                  (s -12) =  upstream speed 
     Given Time = 3 hours 40 minutes = 220 minutes   = (220/60) h = (11/3) h                      Time = Distance/Speed
                  33/(s +12) + 33/(s-12) = 11/3                                                                               3{33(s-12) + 33(s +12)} = 11(s+12) (s -12)                                                          99(s -12 + s + 12) = 11(</span> s^{2} + 12 s -12 s -144)                                                   99(2 s) = 11(s^{2} -144)                                                                                        198 s/11 = (s^{2} -144)                                                                                         18 s = (s^{2} -144)                                                                                            (s^{2} - 18 s - 144) = 0                                                                                         s^{2} - 24 s + 6 s -144 =0                                                                                       s(s- 24) + 6(s -24) =0                                                                                            (s -24) (s + 6) = 0                                                                                                  s -24 = 0, s + 6 =0                                                                                                s = 24, s = -6                                                                     Answer) s = 24 mph is the average speed of the boat relative to the water.

Geometry Pythagorean theorem
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Below!

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem, I will solve all of the problems.

<h3>________________________________________________</h3>

<u>Question 9:</u>

  • 10² = 6² + x²
  • => 100 = 36 + x²
  • => 100 - 36 = x²
  • => 64 = x²
  • => x = 8
<h3>________________________________________________</h3>

<u>Question 10:</u>

  • 26² = 24² + x²
  • => 676 = 576 + x²
  • => 676 - 576 = x²
  • => 100 = x²
  • => x = 10
<h3>________________________________________________</h3>

<u>Question 11:</u>

  • 15² = 12² + x²
  • => 225 = 144 + x²
  • => 225 - 144 = x²
  • => 81 = x²
  • => x = 9
<h3>________________________________________________</h3>

<u>Question 12:</u>

  • x² = 8² + 12²
  • => x² = 64 + 144
  • => x² = 208
  • => x = √208
  • => x = 14.2 (Rounded)
<h3>________________________________________________</h3>

<u>Question 13:</u>

  • 7² = 2² + x²
  • => 49 = 4 + x²
  • => 49 - 4 = x²
  • => 45 = x²
  • => x = √45
  • => x = 6.7 (Rounded)
<h3>________________________________________________</h3>

<u>Question 14</u>

First, let's solve for the variable x using Pythagoras theorem.

  • => 5² = 3² + x²
  • => 25 = 9 + x²
  • => 16 = x²
  • => x = 4 units

Now, let's solve for the variable y using Pythagoras theorem.

  • (3 + 6)² = 5² + y²
  • => (9)² = 25 + y²
  • => 81 = 25 + y²
  • => y² = 56
  • => y = √56
  • => y = 7.5 (Rounded) units

Answers (Nearest tenth):

  • x = 4 units
  • y = 7.5 units
<h3>________________________________________________</h3>

<u>Question 15:</u>

First, let's find the value of the variable y using Pythagoras theorem.

  • 8² = 6² + y²
  • => 64 = 36 + y²
  • => 28 = y²
  • => y = √28
  • => y = 5.3 (Rounded) units

Now, let's find the value of the variable x using multiplication.

  • x = 2y
  • => x = 2(5.3)
  • => x = 10.6 units

Answer (Nearest tenth)

  • x = 10.6 units
  • y = 5.3 units
