Personnel tests are designed to test a job​ applicant's cognitive​ and/or physical abilities. A particular dexterity test is adm

inistered nationwide by a private testing service. It is known that for all tests administered last​ year, the distribution of scores was approximately normal with mean 78 and standard deviation 7.8.a. A particular employer requires job candidates to score at least 83 on the dexterity test. Approximately what percentatge of the test scores during the past year exceeded 83?

Answer:

26.11% of the test scores during the past year exceeded 83.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by

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

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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

It is known that for all tests administered last​ year, the distribution of scores was approximately normal with mean 78 and standard deviation 7.8. This means that \mu = 78, \sigma = 7.8.

Approximately what percentatge of the test scores during the past year exceeded 83?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 83. So:

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

Z = \frac{83 - 78}{7.8}

Z = 0.64

Z = 0.64 has a pvalue of 0.7389.

This means that 1-0.7389 = 0.2611 = 26.11% of the test scores during the past year exceeded 83.

Greatest common factor (or denominator) is 6,
least common multiple is 180

hmm
(note: I spent like 30 mins trying to use a math only of finding the values but it didn't work so I did a  force brute and elimination method explained below)


so
a and b must be multiples of 6
so list all the multiples of 6
wait
180=6*30 and 30's factors are 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30 so only list the numbers that are the result of multiplying 6 and any of those numbers in that list (so we can have the lcm of 180)
so
6*1=6
6*2=12
6*3=18
6*5=30
6*6=36
6*10=60
6*15=90
6*30=180
these are our possible candidates for the 2 numbers
now we must find the pair that has a GCD of only 6

doing the math is long and tedious so do it yourself (trial and error)

we see that our choices that fulfill both requirements (GCD of 6 and LCM of 180) are
90&12
60&18
30&36
sum them to find the least one

90+12=102
60+18=78
30+36=66

the least possible sum is 66

Lauri is picking out material for her new quilt. At the fabric store, there are 1919 solids, 99 striped prints, and 1212 floral
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

1,79,07,120  ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Ways in which 3 solids can be chosen from 19 solids = 19 c 3

33 striped prints can be chosen from 99 striped prints in 9 c 3 ways

33 floral prints can be chosen from 121 floral prints in 12 c 33 ways

So, total ways = (19 c 3) (9 c 3) (12 c 3)

(969) (84) (220)

1,79,07,120
