Answer:

Nico

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to compare who had the best performance on the aptitude test, we can use Z score. Z score indicates how many standard deviation a result  is over the mean. For this case the higher the result is, the best is the performance on the aptitude test.

Z score is expressed with the following formula:

Z=(X-μ)/σ

Where:

X is the test score

µ is the mean

σ is the standard deviation

Replacing in the formula we obtained

For Nico:

X = 88.3

µ = 66.2

σ = 13

Z=(88.3-66.2)/13=1.7

For Justin:

X = 226.2

µ = 216

σ = 17

Z=(226.2-216)/17=0.6

For Tera:

X = 7.97

µ = 7.2

σ = 0.7

Z=(7.97-7.2)/0.7=1.1

Nico had the higher Z score which means he had the better performance on the test and he should be offered the job.

C. “One scientist estimates that if you could pile all HeLa cells ever grown onto a scale, they’d weigh more than 50 million metric tons—an inconceivable number, given that an individual cell weighs almost nothing.”

How many labeled points are between points b and u ?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

It is difficult to give a specific answer without your scenario but maybe this may help you out a bit.

Let's say you have a line like the one attached:

I labelled certain points b and u so you can use it as a reference. Now all you need to do is count all the points that lie on the same line and are found between.

In this case it would be point d and point e because the rest of the points do not line on the same line. For this problem particular scenario, the answer would be 2.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The probability is 0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem, we have that:

Odds of a win are 27 to 73.

This means that for each 27 games that you are expcted to win, you are also expected to lose 73.

So

Desired outcomes:

27 wins

Total outcomes:

27 + 73 = 100 games

Probability

P = \frac{27}{100} = 0.27

Answer:

The probability is 0.27
