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

Which statement best explains whether △JKL is congruent to △MNP?
Alchen [17]
Rotation of triangle JKL by 180 degrees will result in a triangle with corresponding vertices of (2, 4), (3, 2) and (-1, 2).

Then translating the resulting triangle 2 units up will result in a triangle with corresponding vertices (4, -2), (2, -3) and (2, 1) which is the same triangle as the given triangle MNP.

Therefore, the statement that best explains whether △JKL is congruent to △MNP is △JKL is congruent to △MNP because △JKL can be mapped to △MNP by a rotation of 180° about the origin followed by a translation 2 units up.
