Question

A stringing machine is a device for adjusting the tension of strings in a tennis racket. Some tennis players ask for a string tension of 65 pounds. The actual tension pro- duced by the machine for the rackets belonging to these players varies according to a normal distribution with mean 65 pounds and standard deviation 2 pounds. Use this informaion to answer this question and the next question.

Which statement is true about where 95% of the possible string tension weight is?

A. Between 60 pounds and 67 pounds

B. Between 63 pounds and 67 pounds

C. Between 59 pounds and 71 pounds

D. Between 61 pounds and 69 pounds

E. Between 60 pounds and 69 pounds

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 + ...
