How can knowing this information about data help us?arrow_forwardThere are two national college-entrance examinations, the scholastic aptitude test (SAT) and the American College Testing program (ACT). Scores on the SATs are approximately normal with mean 500 and standard deviation 100. Scores on the ACTs are approximately normal with mean 18 and standard deviation 6. Use the links provided for the Normal (Links to an external site.)calculator and the Inverse Normal (Links to an external site.) calculator to help complete the problems, you do not need to do any work out by hand. (instructions on how to use these calculators can be found in the week 5 star on the home page) a) What percent of all SAT scores are above 600? b) Which is the greater accomplishment, scoring 630 on the SAT or 22 on the ACT ? Explain your reasoning for your choice. c) How high a score in the SAT is needed to place in the top 2.5%.arrow_forward
- The problem below asks you to compare 4 different forecasting methodologies to determine which forecasting model results in the most accurate forecasts. Accuracy is determined by the lowest mean absolute deviation. Emergency calls to the 911 system of Greenville County for the past 24 weeks are shown below. Accurate forecasts are needed to determine the number of operators needed to staff the station. Week # of Calls 1 50 2 35 3 25 4 40 5 45 6 35 7 20 8 30 9 35 10 20 11 15 12 40 13 55 14 35 15 25 16 55 17 55 18 40 19 35 20 60 21 75 22 50 23 40 24 65 1.
