To teach computer programming to employees, many firms use on the job training. A human resources administrator wishes to review

the performance of trainees on the final test of the training. The mean of the test scores is 72 with a standard deviation of 5. The distribution of test scores is approximately normal. Find the z-score for a trainee, given a score of 82.

Answer:

The z-score for the trainee is of 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

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.

The mean of the test scores is 72 with a standard deviation of 5.

This means that \mu = 72, \sigma = 5

Find the z-score for a trainee, given a score of 82.

This is Z when X = 82. So

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

Z = \frac{82 - 72}{5}

Z = 2

The z-score for the trainee is of 2.

What is the standard form of this function?<br> F(x) = -(x-4)^2 + 2
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

f (x) = -2 (x + 6)^2 + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f (x) = -2x^2 - 24x - 70 <--- divide out -2 out of the first two terms...

f (x) = -2 (x^2 + 12x) - 70 <-- divide the x coefficient by 2 and then square it, then add AND subtract it)  

f (x) = -2 (x^2 + 12x + (12/2)^2 - (12/2)^2) - 70  

f (x) = -2 (x^2 + 12x + 36 - 36) - 70 <--- distribute the -2 onto -36 to get it out of the brackets..  

f (x) = -2 (x^2 + 12x + 36) + 72 - 70 <-- combine constants and factor perfect square trinomial...  

f (x) = -2 (x + 6)^2 + 2 <-- standard form...

Number 3.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ PQX = 90° ( angle in a semicircle )

∠ PXQ = 42° ( alternate angle theorem )

Angle between tangent and diameter is right, thus

∠ XPQ = 90° - 42° = 48°

The area of a triangular flower bed in the park has an area of
blagie [28]

Answer:

b = 24 ft

h = 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

120 = ½hb

120 = ½h(3h - 6)

240 = h(3h - 6)

240 = 3h² - 6h

 80 = h² - 2h

    0 = h² - 2h - 80

    0 = (h - 10)(h + 8)

    h = 10 ft or -8 ft

 we ignore -8 as it makes no sense for a triangle side length.

b = 3(10) - 6 = 24 ft
