Chapter 3: Q. 3.113 (page 122)

A quantitative data set has size 80. At least how many observations lie within two standard deviation of the either side?

Short Answer

Expert verified

80 observations lie within two standard deviation of the either side .

Step by step solution

01

Given information.

We have been given that,

data size=80

We need to find the number of observations lie within two standard deviation of either side of the mean.

02

Simplify.

Chebyshev's Rule: At least 1001-1K2% of the data values lie within kstandard deviation from the mean k>1.

Using Chebyshev's Rule with k=2,we know that at least

1001-1K2%=1001-122%=1001-14%=10034%=75%

is within 2standard deviation from the mean.

The number of the observations within 2standard deviation of the mean is the product of the percentage and the sample size n.

75%脳80=0.75脳80=60

Thus ,at least 80observations lie within two standard deviation of the mean.

Augusta National Golf Course. Earlier in this section, we found that the population standard deviation of the lengths of the holes at the Augusta National Golf Club is 132.0yd. In this context. is the number 132.0a parameter or a statistic? Explain your answer.

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?
