Find the range, variance, and standard deviation for the given sample data. Include appropriate units in the results. Listed below are the measured radiation absorption rates (in W/kg) corresponding to various cell phone models. If one of each model is measured for radiation and the results are used to find the measures of variation, are the results typical of the population of cell phones that are in use? 1.37 1.38 0.63 1.01 0.84 0.69 1.05 0.78 0.53 1.01 0.87 The range of the sample data is nothing ▼ W.W. kg.kg.

Use the standard normal distribution to compare two other normal distributions. 25. Blood pressure is described by two numbers: systolic pressure and diastolic pressure (measured in mmHg, or millimeters of mercury). For example, a blood pressure of 120/80 denotes a systolic pressure of 120 mmHg and a diastolic pressure of 80 mmHg. A study of 625 persons ages 26 to 45 finds that their blood pressures are normally distributed. Their systolic pressure had a mean of 122 and a standard deviation of 14, and their diastolic pressure had a mean of 83 and a standard deviation of 9. Two study participants are randomly selected and their blood pressures are measured again. The first participant had a systolic reading of 99 mmHg, while the second had a diastolic reading of 70 mmHg. Which participant had the lower reading with regard to the study population? 26. Health experts often consider blood pressure to be elevated if systolic pressure is 140 or greater or the diastolic pressure is 90 or…

A boat capsized and sank in a lake. Based on an assumption of a mean weight of 133 Ib, the boat was rated to carry 70 passengers (so the load limit was 9,310 Ib). After the boat sank, the assumed mean weight for similar boats was changed from 133 lb to 174 lb. Complete parts a and b below. a. Assume that a similar boat is loaded with 70 passengers, and assume that the weights of people are normally distributed with mean of 181.1 Ib and a standard deviation of 38.6 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the 70 passengers have mean weight greater than 133 lb The probability isO: (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. The boat was later rated to carry only 17 passengers, and the load limit was changed to 2,958 Ib. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 174 (so that their total weight is greater than the maximum capacity of 2,958 Ib). The probability is. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)…
