2. The distribution of the student heights at a large college is approximately bell shaped. If the mean height is 71 inches, and approximately 95.5% of the heights fall between 63 and 79 inches, then, the standard deviation of the height distribution is approximately equal to: а. 4 b. 6 с. 12 d. 16 e. none of these

Safari .. 1:38 PM 9 49% O Hauisha chen gnd 2/p4/21 Stats RM Problem 1 Set Sam scored a 27 on his ACT last back in October. The mean ACT score for his class was 23, with a standard deviation of 2. Assuming a normal (bell- shaped) distribution for students' scores, answer the following: 1) What percentage of students would you expect to have scored higher than Sam? 50 34 (34 133D in 13.3 25/27 2) What percentage of students should have scored between Sam's score and the mean? 4B00 44.5 3) Jessica scored a 21 on the ACT?

In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. The western United States has a number of four-lane interstate highways that cut through long tracts of wilderness. To prevent car accidents with wild animals, the highways are bordered on both sides with 12-foot-high woven wire fences. Although the fences prevent accidents, they also disturb the winter migration pattern of many animals. To compensate for this disturbance, the highways have frequent wilderness underpasses designed for exclusive use by deer, elk, and other animals. In Colorado, there is a large group of deer that spend their summer months in a region on one side of a highway and survive the winter months in a lower region on the other side. To…
A sample of human brain volumes (cm3) is given below. Use the given data values to identify the corresponding z scores that are used for a normal quantile plot,then identify the coordinates of each point in the normal quantile plot. a. List the z scores for the normal quantile plot. (Round to two decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) b. Identify the coordinates of each point in the normal quantile plot. Use ordered pairs for the form (x,y), where x is the sorted human brain volumes in ascending order, and y is the corresponding z score. (Round to two decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.)
