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

What is thirty percent of two hundred ?
shtirl [24]

The answer is 60. Because if u do 30% x by 200 but u need to get rid of the percent which means u divide it by 100 to get rid of a percent and multiply by a hundred to get a percentage. So it would be 30 x 200 divided by 100.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Is a less than or greater than b?

Is c less than or greater than b?

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we already know that both a and b are less than 0, they will be to the left of the 0 marker on the numberline. All you need to know is which is greater or smaller.

The same goes for c and d. Both are greater than 0 so they will be to the right of the 0 marker on the numberline. All you need to know is which is greater or smaller.

A polling company has decided to increase the size of its random sample of voters from about 2,000 people to about 4,500 people
VARVARA [1.3K]

The effect of this increase <u>will reduce the variability of the estimate</u>.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Variability of a sample can be determined with the help of variance and standard deviation. Sampling variability shows the variation in the estimate between the samples.

Variability is defined as the how close the scores in the distribution are to the middle of the distribution.

In the above scenario, the polling company increases the size of the random sample of voters before election. The proportion of the voters is estimated with the help of poll. The effect of increasing the sample is to reduce the variability of the estimate.
