Apply the Empirical Rule to solve the following: The weight of a newborn manatee calf is normally distributed with a mean of 66 lbs and a standard deviation of 4 lbs. (Do NOT overuse the calculator on this problem. Apply the Empirical Rule.) a.Draw and label the normal curve. (Don’t forget the word label on the x-axis) b.What percent of manatee calves have a birth weight between 54 and 78 lbs? c. What percent of manatee calves have a birth weight of more than 74 lbs? d .What is the birth weight of the middle 68% of manatee calves? e. What percent of manatee calves weigh more than 58 lbs at birth? f. How much do the smallest 0.15% of manatee calves weigh at birth? g.  What percent of manatee calves weigh less than 62 lbs at birth? h. What percent of manatee calves weigh 66 lbs or more at birth?

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
