Consider the following three measurements: 0, 4, and 12. Find the z-score for each measurement if they are from a population with the following mean and standard deviation equal to

a.µ = 2 and σ = 1

b.µ = 4 and σ = 2

c.µ = 8 and σ = 2

d.µ = 8 and σ = 8

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. 0 = -2, 4 = 2, 12 = 10

b. 0 = -2, 4 = 0, 12 = 4

c. 0 = -4, 4 = -2, 12 = 2

d. 0 = -1, 4 = -0.5, 12 = 0.5

Step by step solution

01

Finding the z-score for 0, 4, 12 when mean is 2 and σ = 1

z-scorefor0=Value−μσ=0−21=−2

z-scorefor4=Value−μσ=4−21=2

z-scorefor12=Value−μσ=12−21=10

When the mean is 2 and the standard deviation is 1, z- scores for 0, 4, 12 are -2, 2, 10 respectively.

02

Calculating the z-score for 0, 4, 12 with mean is 4 and σ 2

z-scorefor0=Value−μσ=0−42=−2

z-scorefor4=Value−μσ=4−42=0

z-scorefor12=Value−μσ=12−42=4

When the mean is 4 and the standard deviation is 2, the z-scores for 0, 4, and 12 are -2, 0, and 4 respectively.

03

Computing the z-score for 0, 4, 12 where the mean is 8 and the standard deviation is 2

z-scorefor0=Value−μσ=0−82=−4

z-scorefor4=Value−μσ=4−82=−2

z-scorefor12=Value−μσ=12−82=2

Here the z-scores are 0 = -4, 4 = -2, 12 = 2.

04

Enumerating the z-score for 0, 4, 12 where the mean is 8 and the standard deviation is 8

z-scorefor0=Value−μσ=0−88=−1

z-scorefor4=Value−μσ=4−88=−0.5

z-scorefor12=Value−μσ=12−88=0.5

Therefore, the z-scores are -1, -0.5 and 0.5.

Question: Hourly road accidents in India.An analysis of road accident data in India was undertaken, and the results were published in the Journal of Big Data(Vol. 2, 2015). For a particular cluster of roads, the hourly numbers of accidents totaled over a recent 5-year period are listed in the next table. (These results are adapted from a figure in the journal article.) Create a scatterplot of the data, with a number of accidents on the vertical axis and hours on the horizontal axis. What type of trend (if any) do you detect in the data?

U.S. wine export markets.The Center for International Trade Development (CITD), provides a listing of the top 30 U.S. export markets for sparkling wines. Data on the amount exported (thousands of dollars) and 3-year percentage change for the 30 countries in a recent year are saved in the WINEXfile. (Data for 5 countries are listed in the table.) Descriptive statistics for these variables are shown in the Minitab printout (next column).

f.Locate the standard deviation of the amount exported on the printout.

g.Use the result, part f, to find the variance of the amount exported.

h.If one of the top 30 countries is selected at random, give an interval that is likely to include the export amount for this country.

If the range of a set of data is 20, find a rough approximation to the standard deviation of the data set.
