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

Suppose a calculator is on sale at a 15% discount if it normally sells for 2999 what is the sale price
Greeley [361]
You would turn 15% into a decimal. Which would be .15, and then do .15 times $29.99 which is $29.84. Then you would subtract the $29.99 minus the  $29.84

Un cable guía de 600 pies esta sujeto a la parte superior de una torre de comunicaciones. Si el cable forma un ángulo de 65° con
natita [175]

Answer:

La torre tiene 543.78 pies de altura.

Step-by-step explanation:

Podemos pensar en esta situación como si fuera un triángulo rectángulo, donde el cable es la hipotenusa y la torre es uno de los catetos. (Abajo se puede ver un dibujo de esta situación).

Nosotros queremos encontrar el valor de H, que es el cateto opuesto al ángulo conocido de 65°.

Entonces simplemente podemos usar la relación:

Sin(θ) = (cateto opuesto)/(hipotenusa)

donde:

cateto opuesto = H

θ = 65°

hipotenusa = 600 ft

sin(65°)  = H/600ft

sin(65°)*600ft = H = 543.78 ft

La torre tiene 543.78 pies de altura.
