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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the triangle is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle,

With 67° as the reference angle,

x represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

17 represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine x, we would apply

the Tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side.

Therefore,

Tan 67 = 17/x

xTan 67 = 17

x = 17/Tan 67

x = 17/2.3559

x = 7.22

2) From the given right angle triangle, with 24° as the reference angle,

x represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

12 represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

To determine x, we would apply

the Tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side.

Therefore,

Tan 24 = x/12

x = 12Tan 24

x = 12 × 0.4452

x = 5.34

Olin [163]

Answer:

y = 6x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation representing a proportional relationship is

y = kx ← k is the constant pf proportionality

Here k = 6 , then

y = 6x ← equation of proportion

Using probability concepts, it is found that:

1. P(A) = 0.2268.

2. 100%.

3. 0%.

-------------------------

A probability is the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.</u>

Item 1:

  • 44 countries in Asia.
  • Total of 23 + 12 + 47 + 44 + 54 + 14 = 194 countries.

Then:

P(A) = \frac{44}{194} = 0.2268

Itens 2 and 3:

  • The complement of an event is it's negation.
  • Either an event happens, or it does not, that is, either the event happens, or it's complement does, thus the sum of the probabilities of an event and it's complement is of 100%.
  • From the above bullet point, there is also a 0% probability that neither an event nor its complement happens.
