Complete parts (a) through (c) below. 1422 1226 985 700 728 836 Assume the population is normally distributed. 720 743 542 621 1442 940 (a) Find the sample mean. x= (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (b) Find the sample standard deviation. S= (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (c) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean u. A 95% confidence interval for the population mean is ( ). (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
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.
