Acivil service exam yields scores which are normally distributed with a mean of 81 and a standard deviation of 5.5. if the civil service wishes to set a cut-off score on the exam so that 15% of the test takers fail the exam, what should the cut-off score be? remember to round your z-value to 2 decimal places.

The cutoff score should be 75.8 marks

Step-by-step explanation:

The cut-off should be set as the value corresponding to an area 15% in the normal distribution diagram.

Using the standard distribution tables we have value of standard normal deviate (Z) corresponding to area of 15% = -1.04

Thus we have

7! = 7×6×5×4×3×2

3! = 3× 2

as 7! is multiple of 3! because 7! contains 3! that is 3× 2 as factor

so 7! /(3! ) = 7× 6× 5× 4

= 42 × 20

= 840

its b) 840✌✌✌

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
