A quantitative data set has mean10and standard deviation 3.

Fill in the following blanks:

a.At least 75%of the observations lie between ____ and ____.

b. At least ____%of the observations lie between 1and 19.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. At least 75%of the observations lie between4 and 16.

b.At least88.89% of the observations lie between 1and 19.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given information 

We have been given that the data set has mean, x^=10and standard deviation, s=3.

We need to find out upper observation limit and lower observation limit.

02

Part(a) Step 2: Simplify 

Chebyshev's rule states that for any quantitative data collection with a real number khigher than or equal to 1, at least 1-1k2of the observations are within standard deviations of the mean, that is, x^-ksand x^+ks.

By Chebyshev's rule,

1-1k2=75%1-1k2=751001-1k2=341k2=1-341k2=14k2=4k=2

Neglecting negative value as kshould be greater than 1.

Now,

Upper limit=x^+k(s)=10+23=16

Lower limit=x^-k(s)=10-23=4

03

Part(b) Step 1: Given information 

We have been given that the data set has mean, x^=10and standard deviation, s=3..

We need to find out what percent of the data set lies between 1and 19.

04

Part(b) Step 2: Simplify 

Chebyshev's rule states that for any quantitative data collection with a real number k higher than or equal to 1, at least1-1k2 of the observations are within standard deviations of the mean, that is,x^-ks and x^+ks.

By Chebyshev's rule,

Lower limitrole="math" localid="1651220913088" =x-k(s)

role="math" 1=10-k33k=9k=3

Percentage=1-1k2=1-19=89=88.89%

Copperhead and Tiger Snakes. S. Fearn et al. compare two types of snakes in the article 鈥淏ody Size and Trophic Divergence of Two Large Sympatric Elapic Snakes in Tasmania鈥 (Australian Journal of Zoology, Vol. 60, No. 3, pp. 159-165). Tiger snakes and lowland copperheads are both large snakes confined to the cooler parts of Tasmania. The weights of the male lowland copperhead in Tasmania have a mean of 812.07 g and a standard deviation of 330.24 g; the weights of the male tiger snake in Tasmania have a mean of 743.65 g and a standard deviation of 336.36 g.
a. Determine the z-scores for both a male lowland copperhead snake and a male tiger snake whose weights are 850 g.
b. Under what conditions would it be reasonable to use z-scores to compare the relative standings of the weights of the two snakes?
c. Assuming that a comparison using z-scores is legitimate, relative to the other snakes of its type, which snake is heavier?

Of the mean, median and mode which is the only one appropriate for use with quantitative data.

A quantitative data set of size 60has mean 100and standard deviation 16. At least how many observation lie between 68and132?

In this exercise, you will compare Chebyshev's rule and the empirical rule.

a. Compare the estimates given by the two rules for the percentage of observations that lie within two standard deviations to either side of the mean. Comment on the differences.

b. Compare the estimates given by the two rules for the percentage of observations that lie within three standard deviations to either side of the mean. Comment on the differences.
