Question

We collected data on the tuition charged by colleges and universities in Michigan. Here are some numerical summaries for

Answer 1

Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that the correct option is:

No, because the minimum is too close to the mean.

----------------------------------

• The Empirical Rule states that, in a normal distribution, 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean, 95% are within 2 and 99.7% are within 3.

In this problem:

• The mean is of $10,614.
• The standard deviation is of $8,049.
• The minimum is of $1,873.
• The maximum is of $30,823.

The lower bound of the 95% within 2 standard deviation of the mean is:

10614 - 2(8049) = -$5,484.

Which is a negative number considerably lower than the minimum, which indicates that the minimum is too close to the mean, and the distribution is not normal.
