Question

In the 1992 presidential election, Alaska's 40 election districts averaged 2108 votes per district for President Clinton. The standard deviation was 570. (There are only 40 election districts in Alaska.) The distribution of the votes per district for President Clinton was bell-shaped. Let X = number of votes for President Clinton for an election district. (Source: The World Almanac and Book of Facts) Round all answers except part e. to 4 decimal places.

PLEASE ROUND TO 4 DECIMAL PLACES!!

Is 2108 a population mean or a sample mean? Select an answer Sample Mean Population Mean

c. Find the probability that a randomly selected district had fewer than 2063 votes for President Clinton.

d. Find the probability that a randomly selected district had between 2295 and 2481 votes for President Clinton.

e. Find the third quartile for votes for President Clinton. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given:

Alaska's 40 election districts

X = number of votes for President Clinton for an election district.

The distribution of the votes per district for President Clinton was bell-shaped.

mean = 2108 votes per district for President Clinton.

The standard deviation was 570.
