A study tracked walking habits of 1136 randomly selected adults in the United States. The study found that these 1136 adults had a mean of 5117 steps per day and a standard deviation of 3000 steps per day. Is it reasonable to conclude that mean number of steps taken in a day by American adults is more than 4500 steps? Why or why not? (sentences) TTTArial v 3 (12pt) V T

9. You are conducting an experiment on the effectiveness of a reading intervention with young children and want to report the descriptive results to your colleagues. Some of the children received the inter- vention, and some did not. What do the averages and standard deviations tell you about the results? For this exercise, use the data in Chapter 3 Data Set 2.

A grade of 81 in a test in which the mean is 75 and the standard deviation is 12 corresponds to a z-score of _________.

Consider the following sample data.  Sample A: 5, 8, 11 Sample B: 64, 67, 70 Sample C: 1,015; 1,018; 1,021  (a) Find the mean and standard deviation for each sample.      (b) What does this exercise show about the standard deviation? multiple choice The idea is to illustrate that the standard deviation is not a function of the value of the mean.

A successful basketball player has a height of 6 feet 11 ​inches, or 211 cm. Based on statistics from a data​ set, his height converts to the z score of 5.17. How many standard deviations is his height above the​ mean?

An article in a local town newspaper discusses the results of state test scores in their town. The reporter headlines, "The students in this town don't have the necessary skills.  The overall student population is less than what is reported at the state level" The state test says that a score of 261 or higher on its test reflects the student has the skills needed to graduate. A local town newspaper conducted a random sample of 200 students and found the mean to be 257 and a standard deviation of 41 points. a. State the null (H0) and alternative (Ha) hypotheses. b. Give the standard score for the data. c. Find the P-value for this significance test. e. Sketch your results on the standard Normal distribution f. Summarize the conclusion in the context of this problem.

This list of test scores has a mean of 50. Estimate whether the standard deviation is closest to 0, 1, 2 or 10. (This problem requires NO arithmetic - instead, I'm looking at your intuition about standard deviation) 12, 25, 14, 17, 12, 13, 12 (a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) 10
