Chapter 2: Q.113 (page 156)

Twenty-five randomly selected students were asked the number of movies they watched the previous week. The results are as follows:

a. Find the sample mean x炉.

b. Find the approximate sample standard deviation, s.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The sample mean is =1.48.

(b) The standard deviation is =1.122497.

Step by step solution

01

(a) Mean : 

The total of all observation or data point values divided by the number of observations.

02

(a) Explanation : 

Sample mean x炉=鈭�fx鈭�f=3725=1.48.

Hence, the sample mean is1.48.

03

(b) Standard deviation :

The standard deviation is a measure that indicates how much variation (such as spread, dispersion, and spread) is there from the mean.

04

(b) Explanation : 

Sample size =n

Sample variation s2=鈭�fx-x炉2n-1=30.2424=1.26.

Sample standard deviation s=1.26=1.122497.

Hence, the standard deviation is1.122497.

In this context, what percentile does the top 12%represent?

b. Students whoseGPAs are at or above the 96th percentile of all students at their high school are eligible (called eligible in the local context), even if they are not in the top 12%of all students in the state. What percentage of students from each high school are "eligible in the local context"?
