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.

Which equation represents the line through (4, 5) and (0, 3)?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

I dont know what options you have but all these are possible answers

y - 5 = 1/2 ( x - 4 )

y - 3 = 1/2 x

y = 1/2 x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation you need a slope, so you find the slope of both points by using the slope equstion

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

and you would get :

\frac{1}{2}

now you plug it into the point slope formula  which is y - y = m ( x - x )

and you choose one of the two sets of points that they provided in the question but you'll get the same answer either way.

which has a greater effect on the volume - changing the radius by a given amount or changing the height by the same amount/ why?
AURORKA [14]
Assuming we’re talking about a cylinder, whose volume formula is V = pi r^2 h…

It will have a greater effect to change a variable’s value that has a greater power on it.

Changing h from 1 to 2 doubles the volume.
Changing r from 1 to 4 quadruples the volume, because 1^2 = 1 and 2^2 = 4. The effect of the change on r is amplified by the power.

A method for determining whether a critical point is a minimum. True or false?
natita [175]

Answer:

We can find if a critical point is a local minimum or maximum by looking at the second derivatives.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the first derivative, you will find the slope at the given point, which if it is a minimum or a maximum will be 0.

Then we take the second derivative. If that number is a positive number, then we have a local minimum. If it is a negative number, then it is a local maximum.
