The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a boll-shaped distribution with a mean of 261.1 and a standard deviation of 6

4.3 (All unia. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the mean, or between 68.2 and 45b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 132.5 and 389.7?a. Approximately 3% of women in this group have platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the mean, or between 68.2 and 454.0.(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round)b.

The variable is

X: blood platelet count of a woman

This variable has a bell shaped distribution (Normal)

With mean μ=261.1 and standard deviation σ=64.3

a.

The platelet count within 3 standard deviations of the mean can be calculated as

μ±3σ

You can symbolize it as

μ-3σ ≤ X ≤ μ+3σ

According to the empirical rule of the normal distribution you know that under any bell shaped distribution:

Between μ ± σ you'll find the 68% of the distribution

Between μ ± 2σ you'll find the 95% of the distribution

Between μ ± 3σ you'll find the 99% of the distribution

So following this rule you'll find 99% of the women with platelet count within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

b.

3% of the population is found between a vertain interval, the rest 97% is separated in equal tails around this interval.

Divide 0.97 by 2

0.97/2= 0.485

Each tail contains 0.485 of the distribtuion.

a and b represent the values within you'll find 3% of the population.

Until a you'll find 0.485 of the population and until b you'll find 0.485+0.03=0.515

To calculate both unknown values you have to use the standard normal distribution. This distribution is centered in zero, the left tail is negative and the right tail is positive.

a and b are at a equal distance from the mean but with different sign, so you only have to calculate on and then you invert the sign to get the other one.

I'll calculate the positive value:

Z= (X- μ )/σ~N(0,1)

P(Z≤ b)=0.515

Look in the body of the Z-table, rigth or positive entry and reach the margins for the value:

b= 0.038

Then using the values of the mean and the standard deviation you can calculate the corresponding valueof platelet count:

b= (X- μ )/σ

0.038= (X- 261.1 )/64.3

0.038*64.3=X-261.1

2.4434+261.1=X

X=263.5434=263.5

a=-b=-0.038

a= (X- μ )/σ

-0.038= (X- 261.1 )/64.3

-0.038*64.3=X-261.1

-2.4434+261.1=X

X=258.6566= 258.7

3% of the populations platelet count is between 258.7 and 263.5.

Use the pattern below for questions 6 - 8.
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The sequence given</u>

  • 6, 19, 58, 175

<u>We see the pattern: triple the previous term plus 1</u>

  • 2) 19 = 6*3 + 1
  • 3) 58 = 19*3 + 1
  • 4) 175 = 58*3 + 1

<u>Next two terms</u>

  • 5) 175*3 + 1 = 526
  • 6) 526*3 + 1 = 1579

<u>Following two terms</u>

  • 7) 1579*3 + 1 = 4738
  • 8) 4738*3 + 1 = 14215

How can data displays be used to compare two sets of data? Select all that apply. They quickly illustrate measures of center. Th
Virty [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A and C Step-by-step explanation:I would go for A and C options which best describes the use of data displays for the comparison of two data sets.Data Display is basically displaying of useful data which has been extracted from bundles of raw data or raw data points. That useful data can be used to compare two different datasets as well. So, in option A, It says that it quickly illustrate measures of centre. True, because it presents you quick display so that everyone seeing the data in form of charts or tables easily catch the information to be conveyed. And in option C, It says, they show trends in data that can be compared. Yes again true. Data displays show you trends of different things in one clear picture and it can be compared with other datasets through the use of data displays. Still stuck? Get 1-on-1 help from an expert tutor now.
