The mean time to load a website is 3 seconds and the standard deviation is 0.4 seconds.
Would a normal distribution be a good model for this distribution? Explain your reasoning.
What proportion of websites loaded within 1 standard deviation of the mean?
What proportion of websites loaded within 2 standard deviations of the mean?
What proportion of websites loaded within 1 standard deviation of 2.8 seconds?…
Consider the following data:
−11,−5,−5,−11,13,−11,−5−11,−5,−5,−11,13,−11,−5

In California, they need more rain to sustain the health of the natural environment, state argriculture, and state economy. A group of statistics students in Oxnard College recorded the amount of rain during 2016-2017 school year, measuring the intensity by the inches of rain, and the results were:
Daily Rain Amounts
Inches of Rain 1 2 3 4 5 6
Frequency 7 6 6 3 2 1
The mean rain intensity: ________inches (Please show your answer to 1 decimal place.)
The median rain intensity: _______inches
The mode rain intensity: _______inches
Please separate your answers by a comma if there is more than one mode.
