Answer:

The minimum score required for an interview is 77.252

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

Top 15% of the candidates is a ranking that is equivalent to = 100 - 15% = 85th percentile.

The z score of 85th percentile = 1.036

Mean = 70

Standard Deviation = 7

Minimum score = raw score = ???

Hence:

1.036 = x - 70/7

Cross Multiply

1.036 × 7 = x - 70

7.252 = x - 70

x = 70 + 7.252

x = 77.252

The minimum score required for an interview is 77.252

A simulation is a mathematical model used to represent a situation.

  • A simulation can be a program or a physical test to "simulate" a situation to predict the outcomes.

When we combine two or more simple events we have a compound event

  • "Compound" means to combine, like a compound word would be a combination of two words

A Tree Diagram is a diagram that shows all the possible outcomes of an event

  • In a tree diagram, each possible outcome "branches" off the main stem, making the final diagram look like a tree with many separating branches.

All the possible outcomes or results is called the sample space

  • The outcomes are each different samples, and a sample space is a space that collects each of these samples

When an event is not affected by a previous outcome we have an independent event

  • This event is "independent", not affected by other factors, making it an independent event

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
