. Brittany got a score of 88.388.3; this version has a mean of 63.163.1 and a standard deviation of 1414. Alissa got a score of 236.5236.5; this version has a mean of 219219 and a standard deviation of 2525. Tera got a score of 7.757.75; this version has a mean of 6.66.6 and a standard deviation of 0.50.5.

Answer:

Tera had the higher z-score, so she should be offered the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z- score:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem:

Whoever has the higher z-score should get the job.

Brittany:

Scored 88.3, mean 63.1, standard deviation 14. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{88.3 - 63.1}{14}

Z = 1.8

Alissa:

Scored 236.5, mean 219, standard deviation 25. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{236.5 - 219}{25}

Z = 0.7

Tera:

Scored 7.75, mean 6.66, standard deviation 0.5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{7.75 - 6.66}{0.5}

Z = 2.18

Tera had the higher z-score, so she should be offered the job.

dlinn [17]

Outfit 1      Blue        Black         Red

Outfit 2     Blue        Grey          Red

Outfit 3    White       Black         Red

Outfit 4    White       Grey          Red

Outfit 5    Black       Black         Red

Outfit 6    Black       Grey         Red

We take the outfits 1, 2 , 5  and 6 as a subset of the sample space.

So these 1, 2, 5 and 6 consists either a blue shirt or a black shirt.

The subset consists of all the outfits that do not have a white shirt.

So the correct options are :

1. (Choice A)

The subset consists of all the outfits that do not have a white shirt.

2. (Choice C)

The subset consists of all the outfits that have a black shirt.
