Question

Typing errors in a text are either nonword errors (as when "the" is typed as "teh") or word errors that result in a real but incorrect word. Spell‑checking software will catch nonword errors but not word errors. Human proofreaders catch 70% of word errors.

You ask a fellow student to proofread an essay in which you have deliberately made 10 word errors.

What is the mean number of errors caught? (Enter your answer as a whole number.)

mean of errors caught =

What is the mean number of errors missed? (Enter your answer as a whole number.)

mean of errors missed =

standard deviation of the number of errors caught =

What is the standard deviation of the number of errors missed? (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.)

standard deviation of the number of errors missed =

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
