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

I need help with this please. It’s probability.
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

2/13

Step-by-step explanation:

In a deck of 52 cards, there are 2 sets of red cards. Diamonds and Hearts. In each set of red cards, there are 4 fives. If there are 2 sets, that means that there are 8 red fives in the deck of 52 cards. This means that the probability is 8/52 which is simplified into 2/13.

There are 100 people in a sport centre.
sleet_krkn [62]

By definition of complement,

Pr[not P | G and T] = 1 - Pr[P | G and T]

and by definition of conditional probability,

Pr[not P | G and T] = 1 - Pr[P and G and T] / Pr[G and T]

Pr[not P | G and T] = 1 - (16/100) / (33/100)

Pr[not P | G and T] = 1 - 16/33

Pr[not P | G and T] = 17/33

There are five times as many cars as trucks on the road. Which fraction represents the number of vehicles that are trucks?
jonny [76]
Well, the ratio of cars to trucks is 5:1, so for every 1 truck, there are 5 cars, the sum would be 6. So that's the denominator, and then the numerator would be 1, since there's only 1 truck out of every 6 vehicles.

A cone has a height of 1 meter and a diameter of 2 meters. What is it’s volume
Ber [7]

Cone volume formula: V = πr²h/3

r = radius

h = height

The radius is half the diameter, so, we can divide.

2 / 2 = 1

Now, solve with the given values.

V = π(1)²(1)/3

V = π(1)(1/3)

V = 3.14(1/3)

V ≈ 1.05

Therefore, the volume is roughly 1.05m^3

Best of Luck!
