Inverse Normal Distribution

The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of tw…

It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…

Z-Scores

A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…

Question

For a data set of the pulse rates for a sample of adult females, the lowest pulse rate is

3838

beats per minute, the mean of the listed pulse rates is

x overbarxequals=77.077.0

beats per minute, and their standard deviation is

sequals=22.322.3

beats per minute.

a. What is the difference between the pulse rate of

3838

beats per minute and the mean pulse rate of the females?

b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]?

c. Convert the pulse rate of

3838

beats per minutes to a z score.

d. If we consider pulse rates that convert to z scores between

minus−2

and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the pulse rate of

3838

beats per minute significant?

a. The difference is

3939

beats per minute.

(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

b. The difference is

standard deviations.

(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Can someone help I'm stuck on fiquiring out part b?

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 + ...
