A survey of 47 people was conducted to compare their self-reported height to their actual height. The difference between reported height and actual height was calculated. You're testing the claim that the mean difference is greater than 1.2. From the sample, the mean difference was 1.4, with a standard deviation of 0.4. Calculate the test statistic, rounded to two decimal places

A psychologist created a questionnaire to assess people's aggression. Assume that the questionnaire responses are regularly distributed with a standard deviation of 100. Assume that 15% of the scores are higher than 700. Determine the mean of the score distribution. Calculate your intermediate results to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to the nearest decimal point.
The annual rainfall in a town has a mean of 54.57 inches and a standard deviation of 12.84 inches. Last year there was rainfall of 71 inches. How many standard deviations away from the mean is that? Round your answer to two decimal places.
An environmental researcher took 30 water samples from different areas of a lake. He measured the pH level of each water sample. The standard deviation for the 30 pH levels was about 1.4.What is the best interpretation of the standard deviation? The pH level of a typical water sample was about 1.4 units from the mean on average. The difference between the minimum and maximum pH levels was about 1.4 units. The entire lake had a pH level that was about 1.4 units. The pH level of any given water sample was about 1.4 units from the mean. - this one is wrong

The mean score for first exam in your first organic chemistry class (section A) was 60, with a standard deviation of 5. Your score on the exam was 70. A. How many standard deviations above the mean is your score?
Use z scores to compare the given values. In a recent awards ceremony, the age of the winner for best actor was 27 and the age of the winner for best actress were 47. For all best actors, the mean age is 42.7 years and the standard deviation is 7.7 years. For all best actresses, the mean age is 32.9 years and the standard deviation is 11.2 years. (All ages are determined at the time of the awards ceremony.) Relative to their genders, who had the more extreme age when winning the award, the actor or the actress? Explain. Since the z score for the actor is z= and the z score for the actress is z=,the▼actress actor had the more extreme age.
