Teacher raises Refer to Exercise . If each teacher receives a raise instead of a flat raise, the amount of the raise will vary from to depending on the present salary.
(a) What will this do to the mean salary? To the median salary? Explain your answers.
(b) Will a raise increase the IQR? Will it increase the standard deviation? Explain your answers.
Measuring bone density Individuals with low bone density have a high risk of broken bones (fractures). Physicians who are concerned about low bone density (osteoporosis) in patients can refer them for specialized testing. Currently, the most common method for testing bone density is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). A patient who undergoes a DEXA test usually gets bone density results in grams per square centimeterand in standardized units. Judy, who is years old, has her bone density measured using DEXA. Her results indicate a bone density in the hipand a standardized score of. In the reference population of For -year-old women like Judy, the mean bone density in the hip is
(a) Judy has not taken a statistics class in a few years. Explain to her in simple language what the standardized score tells her about her bone density.
(b) Use the information provided to calculate the standard deviation of bone density in the reference population.
Trace the density curve onto your paper. Mark the approximate location of the median.
Questions T2.9 and T2.10 refer to the following setting. Until the scale was changed in , SAT scores were based on a scale set many years ago. For Math scores, the mean under the old scale in the was and the standard deviation was . In , the mean was and the standard deviation was .
T2.10. Jane took the SAT in and scored . Her sister Colleen took the SAT in and scored . Who did better on the exam, and how can you tell?
(a) Colleen-she scored points higher than Jane.
(b) Colleen-her standardized score is higher than Jane's.
(c) Jane-her standardized score is higher than Colleen's.
(d) Jane-the standard deviation was bigger in
(e) The two sisters did equally well-their -scores are the same.
