Name and describe the three most important measures of center.
A quantitative data set has size . At least how many observations lie within three standard deviation to either side of the mean
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?
Find the
a. Mean b. median c. models
For the mean and the median, round each answer to one more decimal place than that used for the observations.
Amphibian Embryos. In a study of the effects of radiation on amphibian embryos titled "Shedding Light on Ultraviolet Radiation and Amphibian Embryos" L. Licht recorded the time it took for a sample of seven different species of frogs' and toads' eggs to hatch. The following table shows the times to hatch, in days.
Simple data sets have been given for you to try locating the descriptive metrics mentioned in this section. For each data set separately.
