Since we want just the top 20% applicants and the data is normally distributed, we can use a z-score table to check the z-score that gives this percentage.
The z-score table usually shows the percentage for the values below a certain z-score, but since the whole distribution accounts to 100%, we can do the following.
We want a z* such that:
But, to use a value that is in a z-score table, we do the following:
So, we want a z-score that give a percentage of 80% for the value below it.
Using the z-score table or a z-score calculator, we can see that:
Where z is the z-score we have, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation, so:
so, the cutoff score is approximately 72.
Answer:
y = - 2x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (8, - 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, 15)
m = =
= - 2, thus
y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (8, - 9), then
- 9 = - 16 + c ⇒ c = - 9 + 16 = 7
y = - 2x + 7 ← equation of line
Answer:
It will take 1 hour to type the report.
Step-by-step explanation:
The time that will take to John to type the report is:
Since we have 60 minutes in 1 hour, the time in hours is:
Therefore, it will take 1 hour to type the report.
