Question
I believe the standard deviation is 6.3. How do I answer c?
![■. Lydia is trying to answer the question:
"How much do large eggs weigh?"
She collects 15 large eggs and measures the following weights in grams: 55,51,58,59, 59,59,60,6
9 10 11 12 13 14 15
562
58, 62, 57, 60, 62, 65, 59, 61, 55, 60, 63, 59, 81, 62, 59 62,62,63,65 81
(a) Explain why Lydia's question requires statistics to answer. [2 points]
Lydia's question requires statistics to answer because
not all large eggs weigh the same so we nued an averag
of how much they weich
(b) Find the mean and standard deviation for this sample. Round both measures to the nearest tenth.
[2 points]
The mean is 61.5 and the stand ard deviation
for the sample is 5
(c) How many of the 15 data values fall within one standard deviation of the mean? Show how
your answer. [3 points]
61.5-5.755.8
61.5+5.1=67.2

Thank you for your help A scientist has read that the mean birth weight, μ, of babies born at full term is 7.2 pounds. The scientist, believing that μ is less than this value, plans to perform a statistical test. She selects a random sample of birth weights of babies born at full term and finds the mean of the sample to be 6.9 pounds and the standard deviation to be 1.7 pounds. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis (H1) that should be used for the test? H0: (choose one) less than, less than or equal to, greater than, greater than or equal to, equal to, or not equal to. (choose one) 6.9 pounds, 7.2 pounds, or 1.7 pounds.

This tells you that 1 all the test scores must be 0. 2 all the test scores must be the same value. 3 there is no straight-line association. 4 the mean test score must also be 0. 5 you made a mistake because the standard deviation can never be 0.arrow_forward
