Answer:

z score for officer1 is 1, he will be promoted.

z score for officer2 is 0.33, she will not be promoted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Officer 1 get 74 points. O1=74

Officer 2 get 68 points. O2=68

Mean of the exam is 65 and standart deviation is 9 . M=65 and s=9

1) z-score for O1 can be found using the formula:

\frac{74-65}{9} =1

2) z-score of O2 is

\frac{68-65}{9} =0.33

Promotion is gained if an officer (O), scores higher than 80% of the officers taking the exam. This means they need to be at least in the top 20% of the exam. Therefore we look for the corresponding z score for the P(z)=0.2 which is 0.8416. Since z-score of O1 is bigger that 0.8416, he promotes. Officer2 who got 68 from the exam cannot promote since corresponding z-score is less than 0.8416

Find the midpoint of the segment between the points (17,−11) and (−14,−16)
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

(1.5, -13.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint Formula: (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )

Simply plug in our coordinates into the formula:

x = (17 - 14)/2

x = 3/2

y = (-11 - 16)/2

y = -27/2

Linda purchase a prepaid phone card for $30. Long distance calls cost $.17 a minute using this card when do use her card. Linda
balandron [24]

Answer: her call lasted for 44 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Linda purchase a prepaid phone card for $30. This means that the credit on her card is $30.

Long distance calls cost $0.17 each. Linda use her card only to make a long distance call. Assuming she made a total of x minutes of long distance calls, the cost would be $0.17x. The amount remaining on her card will be

30 - 0.17x

if the remaining credit on her card is $22.52, the number of minutes,x that the call lasted will be

22.52 = 30 - 0.17x

0.17x = 30 - 22.52

0.17x = 7.48

x = 7.48/0.17 = 44
