The _______________ of a list of numbers is the value that lives right in the middle of the set if it’s arranged in order.

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.

The height of the graph of the probability density function f(x) varies with X as follows (round to four decimal places): X 16 Height of the Graph of the Probability Density Function You are flying out of Terminal 3 at JFK on a Wednesday afternoon between 3:00 and 4:00 PM. You get stuck in a traffic jam on the way to the airport, and if it takes you longer than 12 minutes to clear security, you'll miss your flight. The probability that you'll miss your flight is You have arrived at the airport and have been waiting 10 minutes at the security checkpoint. Recall that if you spend more than 12 minutes clearing security, you will miss your flight. Now what is the probability that you'll miss your flight? ○ 0.5 O 0.25 ○ 0.8333 ○ 0.6667

onsider a random variable x that follows a uniform distribution, with a = 2 and b = 9. What is the probability that x is less than 6? P(x < 6) = 0.2857 P(x < 6) = 0.5714 P(x < 6) = 0.17142 P(x < 6) = 0.4286 What is the probability that x is between 4 and 6? P(4 ≤ x ≤ 6) = 0.2857 P(4 ≤ x ≤ 6) = 0.157135 P(4 ≤ x ≤ 6) = 0.0928525 P(4 ≤ x ≤ 6) = 0.11428
