. Nico got a score of 88.3; this version has a mean of 66.2 and a standard deviation of 13. Justin got a score of 226.2; this version has a mean of 216 and a standard deviation of 17. Tera got a score of 7.97; this version has a mean of 7.2 and a standard deviation of 0.7.

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.

Which expression represents 50 divided by an unknown number
Akimi4 [234]
You didn’t give answer choices, so I would say it would probably be;


50/x Or some other variable.

If you aren’t clear on what a variable is, it’s a letter that represents an unknown factor or numerical value in an expression.
If you aren’t aware of what 50 is divided by, my guess is you’d use a variable to state this.

So your answer should be 50/*variable*
In my example I used x, but your answer might use another letter.

I hope this helps, and I’m sorry if I’m wrong.
Good luck. :))
