About 2% of the population has a particular genetic mutation. 500 people are randomly selected.
1 answer:
The standard deviation for the number of people with the genetic mutation in such groups is 3.1305.
<h3>Standard Deviation</h3>In statistics, the standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean of the set, while a high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range.
Let X be the number of people with genetic mutation is a group of 500,
The formula of standard deviation is given as
The standard deviation of the given sample is 3.1305

Answer:
The correct option is D
D) She may not be correct because means cannot be determined from the box plots
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete because the box plots are not attached in the question. I've attached the box plots of this question at the bottom.
The box plot, also know as box and whisker plot, displays only five type of values, which are:
- Minimum value
- First Quartile
- Median
- Third Quartile
- Maximum value
Mean cannot be determined by just lookin at the box plots. To find the mean, we need to know the values of data and total number of values.
As mean cannot be determined from the box plot, correct option is D
