Textbook Question

Chapter 17, Problem 8E

Consider a normal distribution with first quartile Q 1 = 229 and third quartile Q 3 = 391 .

a. Find the mean μ of the distribution.

b. Find the standard deviation σ of the distribution rounded to the nearest integer.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

Describe a three step process you choose to determine how many elementary schools there are in the city of 5 million people.

A circle of radius r centered at the point (0,r) in the plane will intersect the y-axis at the origin and the point A=(0,2r), as pictured below. A line passes through the point A and the point C=(11/2,0) on the x-axis. In this problem, we will investigate the coordinates of the intersection point B between the circle and the line, as 1 → ∞ A=(0,2r) B (0,0) (a) The line through A and C has equation: y= 2 117 x+27 (b) The x-coordinate of the point B is 4472 121,2 +4 40 (c) The y-coordinate of the point B is +27 121 44 (d) The limit as r→ ∞ of the x-coordinate of B is 121 (if your answer is oo, write infinity).
