Question
B. What is the best predicted temperature for a time when a bug is chirping at the rate of 3000 chirps per minute?
The best predicted temperature when a bug is chirping at 3000 chirps per minute is____°F.
C. What is wrong with this predicted value?
- The first variable should have been the dependent variable.
- It is unrealistically high. The value 3000 is far outside of the
range of observed values. - It is only an approximation. An unrounded value would be considered accurate.
- Nothing is wrong with this value. It can be treated as an accurate prediction.

- 6) The following figure shows that the probability of a plant flowering in 1987 was related to its initial size (as defined by leaf area) in 1984. Also, for a given-size plant, the probability of flowering declines as a function of previous allocation to reproduction (measured as the number of fruits produced during 1984-1986). Based on this figure, approximately how large (leaf area in cm3) would a plant that has produced three fruits over the last three years have to be in order to have an approximately 50% (0.50) probability of flowering?

If 3 points were added to every score in the population, what would be the new values for the mean and standard deviation? O The new mean is u = 47, and the new standard deviation is a = 13. The new mean is u = 47, and the standard deviation is still a = 10. O The new mean is u = 53, and the standard deviation is still o = 10. O The mean is still u = 50, and the new standard deviation is a = 13. If every score in the population were multiplied by 2, what would be the new values for the mean and standard deviation? The new mean is µ = 100, and the new standard deviation is still a = 10. The new mean is u = 52, and the new standard deviation is o = 20. The new mean is u = 100, and the new standard deviation is a = 20. The mean is still u = 50, and the new standard deviation is o = 20.arrow_forwardFor data that is not normally distributed we can't use z-scores. However, there is an equation that works on any distribution. It's called Chebyshev's formula. The formula is p = 1 - 7.2 where p is the minimum percentage of scores that fall within k standard deviations on both sides of the mean. Use this formula to answer the following questions. a) If you have scores and you don't know if they are normally distributed, find the minimum percentage of scores that fall within 2.1 standard deviations on both sides of the mean? b) If you have scores that are normally distributed, find the percentage of scores that fall within 2.1 standard deviations on both sides of the mean? c) If you have scores and you don't know if they are normally distributed, how many standard deviations on both sides of the mean do we need to go to have 96 percent of the scores? Note: To answer part c you will need to solve the equation for k.arrow_forward
