The speeds on Highway 401 east of Toronto average 110 km/hr with a standard deviation of 7.1 km/hr and a coefficient of variation of 6.5%. The speeds on Toronto's city streets average 28 km/hr with a standard deviation of 4.8 km/hr. Which of the roads has a lower relative dispersion? The city streets because the standard deviation of the city streets is only 4.8 km/hr compared to the highway at 7.1 km/hr. Highway 401 because its coefficient of variation is only 6.4%, compared to the city street at 17.1%.

Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in pyramid lake is u=19 inches. However a survey reported that Of a random sample of 51 fish caught, the mean length was x=18.6 inches with Walmart standard deviation s=3.5 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in pyramid lake is less than u=19 inches? Use a=0.05
The average annual precipitation in Vancouver, British Columbia is 1300 mm. Assuming that the distribution of precipitation amounts is approximately normal with a standard deviation of 230 mm, determine whether each of the following represents a fairly typical year, an extremely wet year, or an extremely dry year. Write a statement and explanation for each answer. a. Annual precipitation of 1600 mm. b. Annual precipitation of 1050 mm.
A group of students take a exam and the adverage was m = 90 and the standard deviation was 7.8. Answer the questions using raw scores, z scores and creating a curve. what percentage of the population lands between the raw scores of 86 and 105?
Solar earned a score of 940 on a national achievement test. The mean test score was 850 wth a standard deviation of 100.What proportion of students had a higher score than Solar? (Assume that test scores are normally distributed.)
Suppose that the amount of caffeine (in milligrams) in an 16 fluid ounce energy drink can be modeled by the Normal Distribution with a mean of 250 mg and a standard deviation of 70 mg. What is the caffeine content of the 70th percentile of energy drinks? Interpret this value. The 70th percentile is 287 mg. This means that 70% of energy drinks will have caffeine less than or equal to 287 mg. The 70th percentile is 287 mg. This means that 70% of energy drinks will have caffeine greater than or equal to 287 mg. The 70th percentile is 213 mg. This means that 70% of energy drinks will have caffeine greater than or equal to 213 mg. The 70th percentile is 213 mg. This means that 70% of energy drinks will have caffeine less than or equal to 213 mg.
Assume that a data for pulse rates of 50 participants is ollected. The mean pulse rate has the mean of 70.2 beats per minute while the standart deviation of the pulse rates arises to be 12.2 per minute. Please answer whether 49 beats per minute belonging to one participant is significantly low or high? Explain briefly.

ion on 10.22. The mean and standard deviation of a set of 100 observations were worked out as 40 and 5 respectively by a com- puter who by mistake took the value 50 in place of 40 for one obser- vation. Recalculate the correct mean and variance.
The manager at UPS feels that the weights of packages shipped recently are less than in he past. Records show that in the past packages have had a population mean weight of 36.7 pounds and a population standard deviation of 14.2 pounds. A random sample of last month's shipping records yielded a sample mean weight of 32.1 pounds for 64 packages. Does this indicate that the weights of packages recently shipped is less than 36.7 pounds? Use a = 0.01. Use the Classical Approach.
Based on daily measurements, Brenda's weight has a mean of 200 pounds with a standard deviation of 16 pounds, while Karen’s weight has a mean of 125 pounds with a standard deviation of 15 pounds. Who has the smaller coefficient of variation?
Layla earned a score of 140 on Exam A that had a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 50. She is about to take Exam B that has a mean of 650 and a standard deviation of 20.
