The manager of the Analytics department at Facebook is accepting applications for a new employee for their team. One criteria she uses to evaluate potential employees is years of experience working in applied analytics roles. Years of experience is normally distributed, and the average number of years of experience is 7.5 with a standard deviation of 2. She has found that people with too little or too much experience perform poorly on the job. For this reason, she wants to only interview those who are in the 60% to 80% range on years of experience. What is the range of years for the potential employees she is seeking to interview? (Round to the nearest whole number) Answer: She will interview candidates who have between ["", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""] and ["", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""] years of experience.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

Standard normal table:

A standard normal table is often known as a Z table or a unit normal table.
It's a mathematical table for the values of normal distribution's cumulative distribution function.
It is used to determine the likelihood of observing a statistic below, above, or between values on the standard normal distribution, and by extension, any normal distribution.
Because there are an unlimited number of normal distributions and probability tables cannot be written for each, it is usual practice to convert a normal to a standard normal and then use the standard normal table to obtain probabilities.
