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.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

No we can consider A as single event. See the explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the event A as:

A=" Select a 4 from a standard deck of 52 cards"

We know that in a standard deck we have 4 different types of 4, spade, heart, diamond and club.

And by definition of simple event we need to have just one possible outcome in the experiment, and on this case we have 4 possible options for event A, so for this reason the event A can't be considered as simpl event.

Using proportion,

If Out of 550 calculators = 6 are defective,

Then out of 12000 calculators = ? are defective

\frac{12000 calculators}{550calculators} * 6

= 21.8 * 6

= 130.8 ≈ 131

∴ Approximately 131 calculators are defective
