Question
Use z scores to compare the given values.
Based on sample data, newborn males have weights with a mean of
3234.3
g and a standard deviation of
544.6
g. Newborn females have weights with a mean of
3036.7
g and a standard deviation of
598.7
g. Who has the weight that is more extreme relative to the group from which they came: a male who weighs
1700
g or a female who weighs
1700
g?Since the z score for the male is
has the weight that is more extreme.
z=nothing
and the z score for the female is
z=nothing,

- Three high school basketball teams measured the heights of all of their basketball players: The Derby Dragons have a mean height of 72.0 inches and a standard deviation of 1.2. The Aviston Aces have a mean height of 70.8 inches and a standard deviation of 0.7. The Ballwin Bears have a mean height of 73 inches and a standard deviation of 1.0. On average, which team is a taller? Which team has players whose heights are more consistent?arrow_forwardIs it worth pursuing a doctoral degree in education if you already have an undergraduate degree? One way to help make this decision is to look at the mean incomes of these two groups. Suppose that 1212 people with bachelor’s degrees in education were surveyed. Their mean annual salary was $42,000$42,000 with a standard deviation of $9800$9800. Fifteen people with doctoral degrees in education were found to have a mean annual salary of $50,000$50,000 with a standard deviation of $9200$9200. Assume that the population variances are not the same. Construct a 90%90% confidence interval to estimate the true difference between the mean salaries for people with doctoral degrees and undergraduate degrees in education. Let Population 1 be the salaries for people with doctoral degrees and Population 2 be the salaries for people with undergraduate degrees. Round the endpoints of the interval to the nearest whole number, if necessary.arrow_forwardi.arrow_forward

What's the standard deviation for data set 3.arrow_forwardAnswer the question by recalling significantly low or high values based on standard deviation. Focus groups of 11 people are randomly selected to discuss products of the Yummy Company. It is determined that the mean number (per group) who recognize the Yummy brand name is 7.8, and the standard deviation is 0.97. Would it be significantly low to randomly select 11 people and find that fewer than 4 recognize the Yummy brand name?arrow_forwardcompare ihe altenuance al lNe res for a Saturday evening performance.

- The University of Montana admission standards require students to have an ACT score of at least 22. We know that Montana ACT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 20.1 and a standard deviation of 4. A: Students in Oregon have a mean ACT score of 21.1 with a standard deviation of 2.8. If we chose one student each at random from Oregon and from Montana, which student would be more likely to meet the ACT requirements of the University of Montana? Explain your answer using the appropriate statistics and a correctly labeled and shaded normal distribution. B: We know that the Montana ACT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 20.1 and a standard deviation of 4. Assume that the top 2% of individuals in the state are eligible for a state-funded scholarship. What score does an individual need on the ACT to be eligible?
