The average performance rating of the employees at Company A is 6.5 on a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being highest). The standard dev

iation is 2.1 The average performance rating of the employees at Company C is 7.4. Company C has a standard deviation of 6.8. It would be better to hire a random employee from Company A.

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

Find the coordinates of the other endpoint of the​ segment, given its midpoint and one endpoint.​ (Hint: Let​ (x,y) be the unkno
spin [16.1K]
The other endpoint is (1, -17).

The midpoint formula is:

m=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

Using our midpoint and endpoint, we have:
(6, -11) = (\frac{11+x_2}{2}, \frac{-5+y_2}{2})&#10;\\&#10;\\6=\frac{11+x_2}{2} \text{ and } -11=\frac{-5+y_2}{2}&#10;

For the first equation (to find the x-coordinate) we will multiply both sides by 2:
6\times2=\frac{11+x_2}{2}\times 2&#10;\\&#10;\\12=11+x_2

Subtract 11 from both sides:
12 - 11 = 11+x₂ - 11
1 = x₂

For the second equation (the y-coordinate) we multiply both sides by 2:
-11\times2=\frac{-5+y_2}{2}\times 2&#10;\\&#10;\\-22=-5+y_2

Add 5 to both sides:
-22+5 = -5+y₂ + 5
-17 = y₂

This means that (x₂, y₂) is at (1, -17).
