- Find SAT Quartiles. SAT scores are reported on a scale from 600 to 2400. The mean is 1498 and the standard deviation is 316. The quartiles of any distribution are the values with cumulative proportions 0.25, and 0.75. What are the quartiles of the distribution of SAT scores?arrow_forwardThe ages of the winners of a cycling tournament are approximately bell shaped. The mean age is 27.4 years, with a standard deviation of 3.6 years. The winner in one recent year was 29 years old. Transform the age to a a-score. Interpret the results. Determine whether the age is unusual.arrow_forwardGiven a mean, standard deviation, and a raw score, find the corresponding z-score. Assume the distribution is normal. mean 70, standard deviation 4, x = 80 What is the corresponding z-score? z=arrow_forward
- Consider a value to be significantly low if its z score less than or equal to -2 or consider a value to be significantly high if its z score is greater than or equal to 2. A test is used to assess readiness for college. In a recent year, the mean test score was 19.2 and the standard deviation was 4.5. Identify the test scores that are significantly low or significantly high. What test scores are significantly low? Select the correct answer below and fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice. A. Test scores that are greater than_____(Round to one decimal place as needed.) B. Test scores that are less than____(Round to one decimal place as needed.) C. Test scores that are between_______ and _____(Round to one decimal place as needed. Use ascending order.)arrow_forwardThe distribution of heights in a population of women is approximately normal. Sixteen percent of the women have heights less than 62 inches. About 97.5% of the women have heights less than 71 inches. Use the empirical rule to estimate the mean and standard deviation of the heights in this population. Mean: K inches Standard Deviation: inchesarrow_forwardClaim: The standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is less than 10 bpm. For a random sample of 140 adult males, the pulse rates have a standard deviation of 9.3 bpm.arrow_forward
- Consider a value to be significantly low if its z score less than or equal to - 2 or consider a value to be significantly high if its z score is greater than or equal to 2. A test is used to assess readiness for college. In a recent year, the mean test score was 21.8 and the standard deviation was 5.1.

- Claim: The standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is more than 12 bpm. For a random sample of 172 adult males, the pulse rates have a standard deviation of 11.5 bpm. Find the value of the test statistic?arrow_forwardUse z scores to compare the given values. In a recent awards ceremony, the age of the winner for best actor was 28 and the age of the winner for best actress was 44. For all best actors, the mean age is 42.3 years and the standard deviation is 8.4 years. For all best actresses, the mean age is 33.3 years and the standard deviation is 10.7 years. (All ages are determined at the time of the awards ceremony.) Relative to their genders, who had the more extreme age when winning the award, the actor or the actress? Explain. Since the z score for the actor is z = and the z score for the actress is z=, the had the more extreme age. (Round to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forward
