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.

#### (a)
Determine the sample mean for weight and the standard error of the mean. (Round the standard error of the mean to three decimal places.)
- **Sample mean:** [__________] lb
- **Standard error mean:** [__________] lb
Select the correct description for each variable:
(i) **The 20 students who provided their weight**
- ○ Population
- ○ Sample
- ○ Population parameter
(ii) **All the students at the local school**
- ○ Population
- ○ Sample
- ○ Population parameter
(iii) **The mean weight of all the children**
- ○ Population
- ○ Sample
- ○ Population parameter
#### (b)
Fill in the correct values. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
The 90% confidence interval for the mean is [__________] lb to [__________] lb.
Select the correct description(s) of this interval. Select all that apply.
- □ The interval is found by adding and subtracting a multiple of the mean to the standard error mean.
- □ The interval is found by adding and subtracting a multiple of the standard error mean from the mean.
- □ The mean of the sample is equal to the mean of the population.
- □ There is a 10% chance that the confidence interval does not contain the mean weight of the school.
- □ There is a 10% chance the mean weight of the school is above the larger number in the interval.
- □ There is a 90% chance that the confidence interval contains the mean weight of the school.
#### (c)
Fill in the correct values. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
There is a 1% chance the mean weight of the school is outside the interval [__________] lb to [__________] lb.

![**Educational Analysis of Students' Weights**
In this analysis, we examine the weights (in pounds) of 20 students from a local school.
**Graphical Representation:**
- The histogram displayed shows the distribution of students' weights. It is accompanied by a box plot at the top, indicating the data's spread and any potential outliers (e.g., a dot representing an outlier above 260 pounds).
**Quantile Data:**
- Maximum Weight: 247 pounds.
- Minimum Weight: 138 pounds.
- 50th Percentile (Median): 176 pounds.
- 25th Percentile (Quartile): 158.25 pounds.
- 75th Percentile (Quartile): 192.5 pounds.
**Summary Statistics:**
- Mean Weight: 178.6 pounds.
- Standard Deviation: 24.690505 pounds, indicating variability in the weights.
- Standard Error of Mean: 5.5209648.
- 95% Confidence Interval for Mean:
- Upper Limit: 190.15551 pounds.
- Lower Limit: 167.04449 pounds.
- Sample Size (N): 20 students.
**Confidence Intervals (CI):**
- For a 90% CI:
- Mean Weight Estimate: 178.6 pounds.
- Lower CI: 169.0535 pounds.
- Upper CI: 188.1465 pounds.
- For a 99% CI:
- Mean Weight Estimate: 178.6 pounds.
- Lower CI: 162.8049 pounds.
- Upper CI: 194.3951 pounds.
- Standard Deviation and its respective confidence intervals (90% and 99%) provide additional context about weight variability.
This data facilitates understanding the weight distribution among the students, helping in assessing general health or nutrition trends in the school.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4f11b0a5-f758-48c2-911f-774d5e291a60%2F5e69244f-b406-458d-8b75-27e1c58fdf2c%2Fc9fhaxq_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
