Question

It is 2075 and Stella, an amateur astronomer, recently was watching rocket launches on a Saturday and Sunday at the newly completed spaceport in Arizona. She knows that the mean burn time for launches on Saturday is 94 seconds with a standard deviation of 35 seconds and for Sunday the launches have a mean of 110 seconds with a standard deviation of 26 seconds. The distributions of both days are normally distributed. Round answers to 4 places.

What type of data is Stella measuring?
- Categorical, Nominal
- Categorical, Ordinal
- Numerical, Continuous
- Numerical, Discrete
The first launch of the day on Saturday had a burn time of 130. Calculate the z-score of this launch.

The first launch of the day on Sunday had a burn time of 33. Calculate the z-score of this launch.

Which launch would be considered more unusual?
- Saturday's Launch and Sunday's Launch are Equally Unlikely
- Sunday Launch
- Saturday Launch
At the end of the day on Sunday, Stella saw several launches with a burn time 6-8 standard deviations greater than what is normally seen on that day and she knew it would skew the distribution. Which direction would this skew be?
- Neither
- Right
- Left

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
