Big Babies: A public health organization reports that 16% of baby boys 6 - 8 months old in the United States weigh more than 20 pounds. A sample of 10 babies is studied. Part 1 of 2 (a) What is the mean number who weigh more than 20 pounds in a sample of 10 babies aged 6 - 8 months? Round the answer to two decimal places. The mean number who weigh more than 20 pounds is Part 2 of 2 (b) What is the standard deviation of the number who weigh more than 20 pounds in a sample of 10 babies aged 6 - 8 months? Round the answer to four decimal places. The standard deviation of the number who weigh more than 20 pounds is
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
