In Exercises 29 and 30,find the standard deviation of sample data summarized in a frequency distri- bution table byusing the formula below, where x represents the class midpoint, f represents the class frequency,and n represents the total number of sample val- ues. Also, compare the computed standarddeviations to these standard deviations obtained by using Formula 3-4 with the original list ofdata values: (Exercise 29) 3.2 mg; (Exercise 30) 12.5 beats per minute.29.113 # 31.

Empirical Rule Heights of women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 161 cmand a standard deviation of 7 cm. Using the empirical rule, what is the approximate percentage ofwomen between a. 154 cm and 168 cm? b. 147 cm and 175 cm?34. Empirical Rule The authors Generac generator produces voltage amounts with a mean of125.0 volts and a standard deviation of 0.3 volt, and the voltages have a bell-shaped distribution.

Chebyshevs Theorem Heights of women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 161cm and a standard deviation of 7 cm. Using Chebyshevs theorem, what do we know about thepercentage of women with heights that are within 2 standard deviations of the mean? What arethe minimum and maximum heights that are within 2 standard deviations of the mean?Pg127 # 8. z Score for Worlds Tallest Man Bao Xishun is the worlds tallest man with a heightof 92.95 in.
