Use the following information to answer the next nine exercises: The population parameters below describe the full-time equivalent number of students (FTES) each year at Lake Tahoe Community College from 1976–1977 through 2004–2005.

  • μ = 1000 FTES
  • median = 1,014 FTES
  • σ = 474 FTES
  • first quartile = 528.5 FTES
  • third quartile = 1,447.5 FTES
  • n = 29 years

    1. What percent of the FTES were from 528.5 to 1447.5? How do you know?

    2. How many standard deviations away from the mean is the median?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

The population parameters describing the full-time equivalent number of students (FTES)

The parameters are

μ = 1000 FTES         ;          median = 1,014 FTES

σ = 474 FTES          ;           first quartile = 528.5 FTES

third quartile = 1,447.5 FTES             ;              n = 29 years
