For a data set of the pulse rates for a sample of adult females, the lowest pulse rate is 38 beats per minute, the mean of the listed pulse rates is x=79.0 beats per minute, and their standard deviation is s=22.1 beats per minute. a. What is the difference between the pulse rate of 38 beats per minute and the mean pulse rate of the females? b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]? c. Convert the pulse rate of 38 beats per minutes to a z score. d. If we consider pulse rates that convert to z scores between −2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the pulse rate of 38 beats per minute significant?
In the past, the mean age of consumers of a product was 38 years. Recently the product has been drastically changed. In order to determine whether there has been a change in the mean age of the product consumers, a sample of 16 consumers is selected. The mean age in the sample is 33 years and the standard deviation in the sample is 10 years. Let u = the mean age of the current product (Problem Set #7) consumers.

The mean time taken by all participants to run a road race was found to be 110 minutes with a standard deviation of 15 minutes. Using Chebyshev's theorem, find the percentage of runners who ran this road race in 80 to 140 minutes. Round your answer to the nearest integer. of
Which of the following statements is not true? There is only one median for each variable. One definition of the median states that, for an odd number of observations, the median is the middle score when scores are placed in order of magnitude. Another term for the median is 50th percentile. The median is generally more sensitive to (i.e., affected by) the presence of a few extreme observations than is the mean.
2. (MMC 6.43). The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a psychological test that measures the motivation, attitude toward school, and study habits of students. Each score ranges from 0 to 200. The mean attitude score for U.S. college students is about 110, and the standard deviation is about 25. A teacher who suspects that older students have better attitudes toward school gives the SSHA to 25 students who are at least 30 years of age. Their mean score is = 118.3. a. Assuming that o = 25 for the population of older students, carry out a test of Họ: H = Ha:u > 110 Report the P-value of your test and state your conclusion clearly. = 110 b.

You determine that the standard deviation for a sample of test scores is 0. This tells you that 1 all the test scores must be 0. 2 all the test scores must be the same value. 3 there is no straight-line association. 4 the mean test score must also be 0. 5 you made a mistake because the standard deviation can never be 0.

A psychology teacher gave an objective-type test to a class of 400 students and, after seeing the results, decided that the scores were normally distributed. The mean score was 46, and the standard deviation was 15. The teacher assigned a grade of A to all scores of 76 or over, B to scores of 61 to 75, C to scores of 31 to 60, D to scores of 16 to 30 and F to scores below 16. About how many of each grade did the teacher assign? (Round your answers to the nearest whole number. Due to rounding, values may not add to the given sum. Recall that 34% of z-scores lie between 0 and 1, 13.5% lie between 1 and 2, and 2.5% are greater than 2.) A B C D F
The results from a statistics class’ first test are as follows: The average grade obtained on the test by its 45 students is an 85, with a standard deviation of 15 points. Answer the following based on this information: a. Approximately how many people received a failing grade (less than 65) b. What percentage of people received a grade between a 70 and a 91? c. What percentage of individuals received a score whose z-score was -.70 or less? d. What grade is required in order to be in the top 15 percent? The top 10 percent? e. What percentage of people received a grade between 85 and 95? f. What percentage of people received a grade of 94 or less? g. What grade is required to be in the bottom 20%? h. What z-score is required to be in the top 40%? i. What percentage of individuals have a z-score between -1 and 1.40? j. What percentage of individuals have a z-score between 1.05 and 1.40?
