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.

If -3m + 1 &gt; 7, which of the following is a solution set for m?
Papessa [141]

ANSWER

m < -2

EXPLANATION

We want to find the solution set for m in:

-3m+1>7

First, collect like terms:

\begin{gathered} -3m>7-1 \\ -3m>6 \end{gathered}

Now, divide both sides by -3. When you divide an inequality by a negative number, <em>the sign changes direction</em>:

\begin{gathered} \frac{-3m}{-3}>\frac{6}{-3} \\ m

This means that all values of m must be less than -2.

<em>None of the options contains the correct solution set.</em>

you know how to calculate the area of a rectangle ?

it is length × width.

now the volume of a 3D-rectangle (= a rectangular prism) is simply

length × width × height.

in our case

5 1/2 × 1 1/2 × 2 = 11/2 × 3/2 × 2 = 33/2 =

= 16 1/2 cubic units
