Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below. Emilio got a score of 76; this version has a mean of 70.6 and a standard deviation of 9. Alissa got a score of 298.8; this version has a mean of 282 and a standard deviation of 24. Tobias got a score of 8.04; this version has a mean of 7.2 and a standard deviation of 0.4.

Required:
If the company has only one position to fill and prefers to fill it with the applicant who performed best on the aptitude test, which of the applicants should be offered the job?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Tobias did best on the aptitude test.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

For Emilio

Emilio got a score of 76; this version has a mean of 70.6 and a standard deviation of 9.

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = 76 - 70.6/9

z = 0.6

For Alissa

Alissa got a score of 298.8; this version has a mean of 282 and a standard deviation of 24.

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = 298.8 - 282/24

z = 0.7

For Tobias

Tobias got a score of 8.04; this version has a mean of 7.2 and a standard deviation of 0.4.

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = 8.04 - 7.2/0.4

z = 2.1

Looking at the calculated z score above, we can see that Tobias did better on his aptitude test because he had a higher z score compared to Emilio and Alissa.

Celesta wants to go on a cruise in three years. She could earn 8.2 percent compounded monthly in an account if she were to deposit the money today. She needs to have $10,000 in three years. How much will she have to deposit today

Answers

Given:

Amount after three years = $10000

Rate of interest = 8.2 percent compounded monthly = 0.082

Time = 3 years

To find:

The principal value.

Solution:

Formula for amount is

[tex]A=P\left(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

where, P is principal, r is rate of interest, n is the number of times interest compounded in an year, t is number of years.

Substitute A=10000, r=0.082, n=12 and t=3 in the above formula.

[tex]10000=P\left(1+\dfrac{0.082}{12}\right)^{12(3)}[/tex]

[tex]10000=P\left(1+\dfrac{41}{6000}\right)^{36}[/tex]

[tex]10000=P\left(\dfrac{6041}{6000}\right)^{36}[/tex]

[tex]10000=P(1.27783)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 1.27783.

[tex]\dfrac{10000}{1.27783}=P[/tex]

[tex]7825.76712=P[/tex]

[tex]P\approx 7825.767[/tex]

Therefore, today she have to deposit $7825.767.

1. Standard error is SE = σ / √n.  As n increases, SE decreases.

2. Degrees of freedom is d = n − 1.  As n increases, d increases.

3. The t statistic is t = (x − μ) / SE.  As SE decreases, t increases.

4. As n increases, t* decreases and approaches z*.

5. As the t statistic increases, the P-value decreases.

6. Margin of error is t* times SE.  As n increases, MoE decreases.

(a) Do you think increasing consumption of diet soda drinks causes traffic accidents? Explain your answer.


No. A strong correlation implies causation.

No. A strong correlation does not imply causation.

Yes. A strong correlation does not imply causation.

Yes. A strong correlation implies causation.



(b) What lurking variables might be causing the increase in one or both of the variables? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:No. A strong correlation does not imply causation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cause and effect relationship is not explained by correlations. A cause and effect relationship can only be established by carrying out carefully controlled experiments.

Hence, a strong correlation between the the intake of soda and accidents does not necessarily imply that soda intake causes accident.

A lurking variable in this study may be the speed of the drivers. A lurking variable is not controlled but significantly impacts results obtained from the study.

Since the speed of the drivers is not strictly controlled, it may just be a lurking variable.

An "extreme" pogo stick utilizes a spring whose uncompressed length is 46 cm and whose force constant is 1.4 x 104 N/m. A 60-kg person is jumping on the pogo stick, compressing the spring to a length of only 5.0 cm at the bottom of their jump. Which is the upward acceleration of the person at the moment the spring reaches its greatest compression at the bottom of their jump?
a. 96 m/s^2
b. 86 m/s^2
c. 976 m/s^2
d.860 m/s^2

Answers

Answer:

B. [tex]86\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From Newton's Laws of Motion, the spring is compressed against effects of weight of the person and as sping force is a restitutive force, the net force experimented by person is different from zero. By applying Second Newton's Law, we get this equation of equilibrium on person:

[tex]\Sigma F = k\cdot \Delta x -m\cdot g = m\cdot a[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Where:

[tex]k[/tex] - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

[tex]\Delta x[/tex] - Change in the length of spring, measured in meters.

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the person, measured in meters.

[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

[tex]a[/tex] - Net acceleration of the person, measured in meters per square second.

Now we proceed to clear net acceleration:

[tex]a = \frac{k}{m}\cdot \Delta x -g[/tex]

If we know that [tex]k = 1.4\times 10^{4}\,\frac{N}{m}[/tex], [tex]m = 60\,kg[/tex], [tex]\Delta x = 0.41\,m[/tex] and [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], the acceleration of the person when spring reaches its greatest compression at the bottom of their jump is:

[tex]a = \frac{1.4\times 10^{4}\,\frac{N}{m} }{60\,kg} \cdot (0.41\,m)-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]a = 85.859\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex]

Which corresponds to option B.
