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

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

Z = \frac{85.1 - 61.1}{12}

Z = 2

Vincent got a score of 299.2; this version has a mean of 264 and a standard deviation of 22.

For Vincent, we have X = 299.2, \mu = 264, \sigma = 22.

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

Z = \frac{299.2 - 264}{22}

Z = 1.6

Tobias got a score of 7.26; this version has a mean of 7.1 and a standard deviation of 0.4.

For Tobias, we have X = 7.26, \mu = 7.1, \sigma = 0.4.

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

Z = \frac{7.26 - 7.1}{0.4}

Z = 0.4

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

Seven pizzas are shared equally between three friends. What fraction of pizza does each friend get? Write your answer as a mixed
vredina [299]

Seven pizzas: 7 pizzas

Shared between 3 friends: 7 pizzas / 3 friends

Simplify the fraction:

7 / 3

(3 goes into 7 twice, 7 - 6 = 1)

2 1/3

The fraction of pizza that each friend gets is 2 1/3.

Hope this helps!! :)
