Almost all companies utilize some type of year-end performance review for their employees. Human Resource (HR) at a university's

Health Science Center provides guidelines for supervisors rating their subordinates. For example, raters are advised to examine their ratings for a tendency to be either too lenient or too harsh. According to HR, ``if you have this tendency, consider using a normal distribution -- 10% of employees (rated) exemplary, 20% distinguished, 40% competent, 20% marginal, and 10% unacceptable.'' Suppose you are rating an employee's performance on a scale of 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest). Also, assume the ratings follow a normal distribution with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 20.
What is the lowest rating you should give to an ``exemplary'' employee if you follow the university's HR guidelines?
A. 76
B. 85
C. 90
D. 25

Answer:

The Answer is 76.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the normal distribution " 10% of employees (rated) exemplary, 20% distinguished, 40% competent, 20% marginal, and 10% unacceptable'',  we can see that exemplary employees are top 10% rated employees.

We have the formula for normal distribution:

z=(X-M)÷σ

where z is the <em>minimum z-score </em>for top 10% employee, X is the <em>minimum </em>score for top 10% employee, M is the <em>mean</em> of the score distribution, σ is the <em>standard deviation</em> of the score distribution.

The z-score we are looking for is the value "a" that separates the highest 10% from the lowest 90% i.e. P(z≤a)=0.90

If we look at z-table, corresponding value for a is 1.28155

We can now put the values in the formula:

1.28155=\frac{X-50}{20}

So X=(1.28155×20)+50=75.631

Therefore minimum score for exemplary employee is 76.

Stevie and Michael share their profit in a ratio 3:5. Stevie gets £120 more than Michael. How much profit did they make altogeth
Airida [17]

Answer:

£480

Step-by-step explanation:

we can multiply both terms of ratio with same number without changing the ratio.

Example

a:b = ax: bx (here we have multiplied both terms with x)\

Given

Stevie and Michael share their profit in a ratio 3:5

Let the profit for Stevie and Michael be 3x and 5x

Given Stevie gets £120 more than Michael

Profit for Steve = 120 + profit for Michael

3x = 120 + 5x

3x-5x = 120

=> -2x = 120

=> x= -120/2 = -60

As we see profit is negative , hence it cannot be solution.

It can be solved if Stevie and Michael share their profit in a ratio 5:3

(note: in ratio , bigger number should have bigger term in ratio)

Let the profit for Stevie and Michael be 3x and 5x

Given Stevie gets £120 more than Michael

Profit for Steve = 120 + profit for Michael

5x = 120 + 3x

5x-xx = 120

=> 2x = 120

=> x= x120/2 = 60

Profit for stevei = 5x =5*60 = 300

Profit for Michael = 3x = 3*60 = 180

Total profit for them together = 300 + 180 = 480 Answer.

Find the EQUATION of the line with exact numbers
Daniel [21]
You need to know where the line crosses the y axis (vertical) - AKA the y intercept, and the slope of the line.
The y intercept is 5. The slope is -1/3 because every time the line goes down one square, it also goes right three squares.
Equation:
y=mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = 1/3x + 5
Another way to write the same thing
y = x/3 + 5
Both correct!
