Answer:

The best choice would be hiring a random employee from company A

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Supposing that the performance rating of employees follow approximately a normal distribution on both companies</em>, we are interested in finding what percentage of employees of each company have a performance rating greater than 5.5 (which is the mean of the scale), when we measure them in terms of z-scores.

In order to do that we standardize the scores of both companies with respect to the mean 5.5 of ratings

The z-value corresponding to company A is

z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{s}

where

\bar x = mean of company A

\mu = 5.5 (average of rating between 1 and 10)

s = standard deviation of company A

z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{s}=\frac{6.5-5.5}{2.1}=0.7142

We do the same for company C

z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{s}=\frac{7.4-5.5}{6.8}=0.2794

This means that 27.49% of employees of company C have a performance rating > 5.5, whereas 71.42% of employees of company B have a  performance rating > 5.5.

So, the best choice would be hiring a random employee from company A

(Calculus help, 25 points, will give brainliest) Find the sum of the sigma notation below.
Andreyy89

\displaystyle\sum_{i=3}^{10}(2i-9)=2\sum_{i=3}^{10}i-9\sum_{i=3}^{10}1

Recall that

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n1=n

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^ni=\frac{n(n+1)}2

Your sums start at i=3, so in order to apply these formulas directly, you need to compensate for the missing first two terms:

\displaystyle\sum_{i=3}^{10}1=\sum_{i=1}^{10}1-(1+1)=10-2=8

\displaystyle\sum_{i=3}^{10}i=\sum_{i=1}^{10}i-(1+2)=\frac{10\cdot11}2-3=52

\implies\displaystyle\sum_{i=3}^{10}(2i-9)=2\cdot52-9\cdot8=\boxed{32}
