The mean and standard deviation for the set of data will be 16 and 5.87. Then the correct option is A.

<h3>What is a standard deviation?</h3>

It is the measure of the dispersion of statistical data. Dispersion is the extent to which the value is in a variation.

The set of data is given below.

16, 22, 8, 5, 20, 18, 14, 17, 24

The mean of the data set will be

μ = (16 + 22 + 8 + 5 + 20 + 18 + 14 + 17 + 24) / 9

μ = 144 / 9

μ = 16

Then the standard deviation of the data set will be

\rm \sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{\Sigma (x_i - \mu)^2}{n}} \\\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{(16 - 16)^2 +(22 - 16)^2 + (8-16)^2 + ......+(24-16)^2  }{9}} \\\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{310}{9}}\\

Simplify the expression further, then we have

σ = √34.44

σ = 5.87

The mean and standard deviation for the set of data will be 16 and 5.87.

Then the correct option is A.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

A) 68.33%

B) (234, 298)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the mean is 266 days (m) and the standard deviation is 16 days (sd), so we are asked:

A. P (250 x < 282)

P ((x1 - m) / sd < x < (x2 - m) / sd)

P ((250 - 266) / 16 < x < (282 - 266) / 16)

P (- 1 < z < 1)

P (z < 1) - P (-1 < z)

If we look in the normal distribution table we have to:

P (-1 < z) = 0.1587

P (z < 1) = 0.8413

replacing

0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6833

The percentage of pregnancies last between 250 and 282 days is 68.33%

B. We apply the experimental formula of 68-95-99.7

For middle 95% it is:

(m - 2 * sd, m + 2 * sd)

Thus,

m - 2 * sd <x <m + 2 * sd

we replace

266 - 2 * 16 <x <266 + 2 * 16

234 <x <298

That is, the interval would be (234, 298)
