Chapter 2: Q 16. (page 106)

Don鈥檛 call me Refer to Exercise 4 Alejandro, who sent 92 texts, has a standardized score of z=1.89

a. Interpret this z-score.

b. The standard deviation of the distribution of the number of text messages sent over the past 24 hours by the students in Mr. Williams鈥檚 class is 34.15 Use this information along with Alejandro鈥檚 z-score to find the mean of the distribution.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) Alejandro's 92 texts are 1.89 standard deviations over the mean number of texts sent by the students.

Part (b) Mean of the distribution, 渭=27.45

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

Value,x=92

Standard deviation, 蟽=34.15

z鈭�score,z=1.89

02

Part (a) Step 2: Concept

The formula used: z=(x-渭)蟽

03

Part (a) Step 3: Explanation

The amount of standard deviations a value deviates from the mean is described by the z鈭�score.

The value is below the mean when the z鈭�score is negative.

Whereas,

Positive z鈭�implies that the value is greater than the mean.

Thus,

According to the sample, 92 texts sent by Alejandro are 1.89 standard deviations above the mean number of texts sent by the students.

04

Part (b) Step 1: Calculation

Calculate the z鈭� score:

z=x鈭�渭蟽

Substitute values,

1.89=92鈭�渭34.15

Multiply both sides by 34.15:

64.55=92鈭�渭

That becomes

渭=92鈭�64.55=27.45

Because the data values and the mean's units are the same.

Thus,

The mean is 27.45 text messages.

Travel time (1.2) The dot-plot displays data on students鈥� responses to the question 鈥淗ow long does it usually take you to travel to school?鈥� Describe the distribution.

I think I can! An important measure of the performance of a locomotive is its 鈥渁dhesion,鈥� which is the locomotive鈥檚 pulling force as a multiple of its weight. The adhesion of one 4400-horsepower diesel locomotive varies in actual use according to a Normal distribution with mean 渭=0.37and standard deviation .蟽=0.04For each part that follows, sketch and shade an appropriate Normal distribution. Then show your work.

(a) For a certain small train鈥檚 daily route, the locomotive needs to have an adhesion of at least 0.30for the train to arrive at its destination on time. On what proportion of days will this happen? Show your method.

(b) An adhesion greater than 0.50for the locomotive will result in a problem because the train will arrive too early at a switch point along the route. On what proportion of days will this happen? Show your method.

(c) Compare your answers to (a) and (b). Does it make sense to try to make one of these values larger than the other? Why or why not?

Foreign-born residents The cumulative relative frequency graph shows the distribution of the percent of foreign-born residents in the 50 states.

a. Estimate the interquartile range (IQR) of this distribution. Show your method.

b. What is the percentile for Arizona, which had 15.1% foreign-born residents that year?

c. Explain why the graph is fairly flat between 20% and 27.5%

d. Draw the histogram that corresponds to this graph.
