uppose you are studying the weights of house cats. You find their weights are normally distributed with a mean of 11.1 pounds and a standard deviation of 2.6 pounds. 1) Suppose that you took a sample of 20 randomly selected house cats and their average weight came in at the 35th percentile. What was the average weight of this group?

A developmental psychologist is interested in studying how long babies gaze at a photograph of a human face. To test this question, she shows a picture to a sample of six babies and records the length of their gaze in seconds. The data are as follows: 12, 17, 18, 20, 20, 29. Calculate the mean, median, mode, range, variance and standard deviation for the sample.

4. A college instructor gave identical tests to two randomly sampled groups of 50 students. One group took the test on paper and the other took it online. Those who took the test on paper had an average score of 75.0 with a standard deviation of 12.5. those who took the test online had an average score of 78.0 with a standard deviation of 14.0. can you conclude that the mean scores differ between online and paper tests?
