Answer:

There are several kinds of mean in mathematics, especially in statistics. For a data set, the arithmetic mean, also called the expected value or average, is the central value of a discrete set of numbers: specifically, the sum of the values divided by the number of values.

Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Due to the higher Z-score, Demetria should be offered the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Whichever applicant had grade with the highest z-score should be offered the job.

Demetria got a score of 85.1; this version has a mean of 61.1 and a standard deviation of 12.

For Demetria, we have $X = 85.1, \mu = 61.1, \sigma = 12$ . So
