Find the indicated IQ score. The graph to the right depicts IQ scores of adults, and those scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. 0.1026 The indicated IQ score is (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
The relationship between birth weight and IQ were studied. 258 subjects with extremely low birth weights had Wechsler IQ scores at age 8 with a mean of 95.5 and a standard deviation of 16.0. For 220 individuals with normal birth weights, the mean at age 8 is 104.9 and the standard deviation is 13.8. Assume that the standard deviations are different, and determine if IQ score appears to be affected by birth weight. Use a = 0.1. 2a. b. Compute a 95% confidence interval on the difference between the means.
Find the percentage of area under a normal curve between the mean and the given number of standard deviations from the mean. This problem can be solved using technology or the table for the standard normal curve from your text. −0.4 The percentage of area under the normal curve between the mean and −0.4 standard deviations from the mean is
Suppose that the blood pressure of the human inhabitants of a certain Pacific island is distributed with mean, u = 109 mmHg and standard deviation , o = 13 mmHg. According to Chebyshev's Theorem, at least what percentage of the islander's have blood pressure in the range from 85.6 mmHg to 132.4 mmHg ? answer:
The mean score on a driving exam for a group of driver's education students is 76 points, with a standard deviation of 5 points. Apply Chebychev's Theorem to the data using k = 2. Interpret the results. At least % of the exam scores fall between and. (Simplify your answers.)
the golf scores for a school team were normally with a mean of 68 and a standard deviation of 3. Use the Z-table to find the value of k so that 40% of the score are greater than k
Dr. Shoals predicts that people who walk a mile in moderately high heels will have less back pain than when they walk in very high heels. 27 participants walk in 4-inch heels and then 2.5-inch heels. He calculates the standard deviation of the difference scores and finds sD = 3.37. The mean back pain when walking in 4-inch heels is 6.75, and when walking in 2.5-inch heels, it is 3.25. What is the t statistic for this experiment
The marks of six students in a science test are represented by the variable x. The following data was produced: n=6, Σx = 279 and Σx2 = 13 093.Find the mean and standard deviation.
The heights of women follow a normal distribution with a mean height of 63.7, and a standard deviation in height of 2.9 in. What height separates the tallest 10% of women from the rest. Round your result to 1 decimal place.
Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 238 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 142.4 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 175.45 cm and a standard deviation of 5.59 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? ... Since the z score for the tallest man is z = 0 and the z score for the shortest man is z = the man had the height that was Im- more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.) shortest tallest
Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 228 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 131.9 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 174.11 cm and a standard deviation of 5.72 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? Since the z score for the tallest man is z = (Round to two decimal places.) and the z score for the shortest man is z = the man had the height that was more extreme.
