Question
You are applying for a job at two companies. Company A offers starting salaries with
μ=$34,000
and
σ=$4,000.
Company B offers starting salaries with
μ=$34,000
and
σ=$9,000.
From which company are you more likely to get an offer of
$42,000
or more?Choose the correct answer below.
Company B, because data values that lie within one standard deviation from the mean are not considered unusual.
Company A, because data values that lie more than two standard deviations from the mean are considered unusual.
No difference, because data values that lie more than three standard deviations from the mean are considered very unusual.

- Suppose you have already calculated the mean, the average deviation, and the standard deviation of the weights in pounds of 20 third-graders. a. if these weights were converted to kilograms and the mean and the average deviation were once again calculated, would the second average deviation be (numerically) less than, greater than, or equal to the first average deviation? Explain your answer. b. If the standard deviation of these weights were calculated in kilograms, would it be (numerically) less than, greater than, or equal to the first standard deviation?

- For an Economics test the mean score is 100 and the standard deviation is 10, and for an Accounting test the mean score is 50 and the standard deviation is 4. You are given the test scores of a student who took both tests. Determine on which test the student had a better score. Enter E if the student did better on the Economics test Enter A if the student did better on the Accounting test Enter S if the student did relatively the same on both tests. A student scores 125.6 on the Economics test and 60.2 on the Accounting test. The student did better/same on test.arrow_forwardGeorge has an average bowling score of 180 and bowls in a league where the average for all bowlers is 150 and the standard deviation is 20. Bill has an average bowling score of 190 and bowls in a league where the average is 160 and the standard deviation is 15. Who ranks higher in his own league, George or Bill? George because his standard score is higher than Bill's. Bill because his standard score is higher than George's. George because the standard deviation in his league is higher than the standard deviation in Bill's league. Bill because his 190 is higher than George's 180. Bill and George have the same rank in their leagues because both are 30 pins above the meanarrow_forwardWe are going to calculate the mean, median, and mode for two sets of data.
