- You have developed an exam to measure knowledge of biology and administered it to a large number of people. On this exam, u= 85 and o = 10. You standardize the distribution so that the new mean and standard deviation are u = 50 and o = 5 If someone takes the exam and receives a score of 73 (before the score is transformed), what will this score be once it is transformed for the new (standardized) distribution?arrow_forwardA man measures his heart rate before using a treadmill and then after walking ona treadmill for 10 minutes on 7 separate days. His mean heart rate at baseline and10 minutes after treadmill walking is 85 and 93 beats per minute (bpm), respectively. The mean change from baseline to 10 minutes is 8 bpm with a standarddeviation of 6 bpm.(a) What test can we use to compare pre- and post-treadmill heart rate?(b) Implement the test in 2a, and report a two-tailedp-value.(c) Provide a 90% confidence interval (CI) for the mean change in heart rate afterusing the treadmill for 10 minutes.(d) What is your overall conclusion concerning the data? this is a review question of ch8 bernard rosner. the solution is not provided at bartleby for this review questionarrow_forwardI don’t know how to calculate ‘d.’ into my TI-84 Plus calculator.

You take a random sample of 70 employees from the company and find that their mean bi-monthly income is $5668. How many standard deviations is the sample mean from the mean of the distribution of sample means?arrow_forward
- Deandre is in his first semester at a certain university and is taking a calculus course with a large enrollment. He just took the first midterm exam and is nervous about his score. Among all of the students in the course, the mean of the exam was 67 with a standard deviation of 3. Deandre scored a 62 on this exam. (a) Find the z-score of Deandre's exam score relative to the exam scores among all the students in the course. Round your answer to two decimal places. z=0 (b) Fill in the blanks to interpret the z-score of Deandre's exam score. Make sure to express your answer in terms of a positive number of standard deviations. Deandre's exam score was standard deviations (Choose one) ▼ the mean exam score among all students in the course.

The 16th percentile of this distribution is 80. (Use the Empirical Rule.) (a) What is the 84th percentile? (b) What is the approximate value of the standard deviation of exam scores? (c) What z score is associated with an exam score of 125? (d) What percentile corresponds to an exam score of 170? (e) Do you think there were many scores below 20? Explain. A score of 20 is? standard deviations below the mean, and so the percentage of scores below 20 would be approximately ... how many percentagearrow_forward
