d) We have that , so the weight of 5.24lb is significantly high.
Step-by-step explanation:
The z-score formula is given by:
In which: X is the weight we are going to find the z-score of, is the mean of all the weights and
is the standard deviation of all the weights.
The problems gives these following informations:
The highest weight is 5.24 lb
The mean of all the weights is 1.932 lb
The standard deviation of all the weights is 1.135 lb
a. What is the difference between the weight of 5.24 lb and the mean of the weights?
b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]?
The difference found in (a) is 3.308lb.
This can be calculated by a simple rule of three.
1 standard deviation - 1.135lb
x standard deviations - 3.308lb
