I need help on this question below The scores on the Accuplacer test and High School GPAs are normally distributed. The Accuplacer test had a mean of 35 and a standard deviation of 9. High School GPAs had a mean of 2.9 and a standard deviation of 0.2.What high school GPA do you need to equal a score of 56 on the Accuplacer test?Give answer to two decimal places.
Pat took three exams. In Mathematics, her grade was 75, the mean was 90, andthe standard deviation was 15. In Physics, her grade corresponded to a Z-Scoreof –1.25. In Latin, her grade was 73 and the average was also 73. (i). In which class is Pat’s relative position strongest? _______________(ii). In which class was Pat’s relative position weakest? ___________
Which of the following statements is not true? There is only one median for each variable. One definition of the median states that, for an odd number of observations, the median is the middle score when scores are placed in order of magnitude. Another term for the median is 50th percentile. The median is generally more sensitive to (i.e., affected by) the presence of a few extreme observations than is the mean.
Exercise 6. Regression Fallacy. Historically, scores on the two midterms had a correlation of 0.48. Suppose that Jeri scored 2.1 standard deviations below the mean on the first midterm. (a) How many standard deviations [above or below?] the mean would you predict for her second midterm?
You determine that the standard deviation for a sample of test scores is 0. This tells you that 1 all the test scores must be 0. 2 all the test scores must be the same value. 3 there is no straight-line association. 4 the mean test score must also be 0. 5 you made a mistake because the standard deviation can never be 0.
Can you do just questions 4-7 please
B Choosing a topic Sk.. For data that is not normally distributed we can't use z-scores. However, there is an equation that works on any distribution. It's called Chebyshev's formula. The formula 1 where p is the minimum percentage of scores that fall within k k2 is p = 1 - standard deviations on both sides of the mean. Use this formula to answer the following questions. a) If you have scores and you don't know if they are normally distributed, find the minimum percentage of scores that fall within 2.2 standard deviations on both sides of the mean? b) If you have scores that are normally distributed, find the percentage of scores that fall within 2.2 standard deviations on both sides of the mean? c) If you have scores and you don't know if they are normally distributed, how many standard deviations on both sides of the mean do we need to go to have 64 percent of the scores? Note: To answer part c you will need to solve the equation for k.
Determine if the following statements are true or false. a. Jane took a sample of n = 100 observations from a population with mean and standard deviation. Mike also took a sample of n = 200 observations from the same population. Then, Mike’s sample mean will be closer to the true population mean than Jane’s sample. b. Jane took a sample of n = 100 observations from a population with mean and standard deviation. Mike also took a sample of n = 200 observations from a population with mean and standard deviation 2. Then, the sample mean from Mike’s sample is more likely to be close to the true mean than the sample mean from Jane’s sample. That is, the probability that X is between 90% and 110% of mean is higher for Mike’s sample than for Jane’s sample.
