Chapter 2: Q T2.2. (page 148)

For the Normal distribution shown, the standard deviation is closest to

a.0.b.1.c.2.d.3.e.5.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (d)3

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The figure is:

02

Explanation

The mean of the normal distribution is around 2 while the peak of the normal distribution is at 2

渭=2

The distance between the vertical line and the inflection point where the curve seems to be essentially a straight line is the standard deviation of the normal distribution. This distance is around 3 in this case, hence the standard deviation is approximately 3 in this situation.

蟽=3

Hence, the correct option is (d).

Long jump A member of a track team was practicing the long jump and

recorded the distances (in centimeters) shown in the dot plot. Some numerical summaries of the data are also provided.

After chatting with a teammate, the jumper realized that he measured his jumps from the back of the board instead of the front. Thus, he had to subtract 20 centimeters from each of his jumps to get the correct measurement for each jump.

a. What shape would the distribution of corrected long jump distance have?

b. Find the mean and median of the distribution of corrected long-jump distance.

c. Find the standard deviation and interquartile range (IQR) of the distribution of corrected long-jump distance.

Put a lid on it! Refer to Exercise 56. The supplier is considering two changes to reduce the percent of its large-cup lids that are too small to less than 1%. One strategy is to adjust the mean diameter of its lids. Another option is to alter the production process, thereby decreasing the standard deviation of the lid diameters.

(a) If the standard deviation remains at 蟽=0.02inches, at what value should the supplier set the mean diameter of its large-cup lids to ensure that less than 1%are too small to fit? Show your method.

(b) If the mean diameter stays at 渭=3.98inches, what value of the standard deviation will result in less than 1%of lids that are too small to fit? Show your method.

(c) Which of the two options in (a) and (b) do you think is preferable? Justify your answer. (Be sure to consider the effect of these changes on the percent of lids that are too large to fit.)

George鈥檚 average bowling score is180; he bowls in a league where the average for all bowlers is 150 and the standard deviation is 20Bill鈥檚 average bowling score is 190; he bowls in a league where the average is 160and the standard deviation is 15. Who ranks higher in his own league, George or Bill?

a. Bill, because his 190is higher than George鈥檚 180

b. Bill, because his standardized score is higher than George鈥檚.

c. Bill and George have the same rank in their leagues because both are 30pins above the mean.

d. George, because his standardized score is higher than Bill鈥檚.

e. George, because the standard deviation of bowling scores is higher in his league.

Shoes How many pairs of shoes does a typical teenage boy own? To find out,

two AP庐 Statistics students surveyed a random sample of 20 male students from their large high school. Then they recorded the number of pairs of shoes that each boy owned. Here is a dot-plot of the data:

a. Find the percentile for Jackson, who reported owning 22 pairs of shoes.

b. Raul鈥檚 reported number of pairs of shoes is at the 45th percentile of the distribution. Interpret this value. How many pairs of shoes does Raul own?

Batter up! Refer to Exercise 48Use the 68鈥�95鈥�99.7rule to answer the following questions.

a. About what percent of Major League Baseball players with 100 plate appearances had batting averages of 0.363or higher? Show your method clearly.

b. A player with a batting average of 0.227 is at about what percentile in this distribution? Justify your answer.
