The relationship between "strength" and "fineness" of cotton fibers was the subject of a study that produced the following data. (Give your answers correct to two decimal places.) x, Strength 76 69 71 76 83 72 78 74 80 82 y, Fineness 4.5 4.5 4.7 4.2 4.1 4.2 4.8 4.9 4.3 4.5 (a) Draw a scatter diagram. (Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this work.) (b) Find the 98% confidence interval for the mean measurement of fineness for fibers with a strength of 79.
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.
