Question
A data set lists weights (lb) of plastic discarded by households. The highest weight is 5.38 lb, the mean of all of the weights is
x=2.137 lb, and the standard deviation of the weights is s = 1.239 lb.
a. What is the difference between the weight of 5.38 lb and the mean of the weights?
b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]?
c. Convert the weight of 5.38 lb to a z score.
d. If we consider weights that convert to z scores between - 2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the we
of 5.38 lb significant?
a. The difference is lb.
(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
b. The difference is
standard deviations.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
c. The z score is z=
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
