The data given below consists of the number of children with food allergies at a sample of elementary schools: 3, 9, 5, 5, 14, 1

0, 5, 11, 9, 6, 1, 8, 10, 7, 9, 13, 18, 9, 8, 11, 9, 7, 6, 14, 12. Find the z-score corresponding to the median of school allergies. You may use your calculator to find the mean and standard deviation.

Answer:

z -score = 0.0459

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

the number of children with food allergies at a sample of elementary schools: 3, 9, 5, 5, 14, 10, 5, 11, 9, 6, 1, 8, 10, 7, 9, 13, 18, 9, 8, 11, 9, 7, 6, 14, 12.

The objective is to find the z- score , but before we can do that , we need to determine the mean and the standard deviation of the sample.

Mean = sum of the sample/ total number of the sample

Mean = (3+9+ 5+ 5+ 14+ 10+ 5+ 11+ 9+ 6+ 1+ 8+ 10+ 7+ 9+13+ 18+ 9+ 8+11+ 9+ 7+ 6+ 14+ 12)/25

Mean = 219/25

Mean = 8.76

Standard deviation = \sqrt{\dfrac {\sum (x_i - \mu)^2}{N}}

Mean (in order )= 1, 3,5,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,9,9,9,10,10,11,11,12,13,14,14,18)

Standard deviation = \sqrt{\dfrac { (8.76 - 1)^2}{25} + \dfrac { (8.76 - 3)^2}{25} +\dfrac { (8.76 - 5)^2}{25} +...+ \dfrac { (8.76 - 18)^2}{25}   }

Standard deviation = 5.2174

The standard z score formula is:

z = \dfrac{X- \mu}{\sigma}

where X = median (13th observation ) = 9

z = \dfrac{9- 8.76}{5.2174}

z = \dfrac{0.24}{5.2174}

z -score = 0.0459

The graph shows the heights, y (in centimeters), of a plant after a certain number of weeks, x. Donna drew the line of best fit
Nezavi [6.7K]

Using the given linear function of best-fit, the most likely approximate height of the plant after 8 weeks would be of 7.4 centimeters.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The line of best-fit goes through points (0,1) and (5,5). Point (0,1) means that the y-intercept is of b = 1. The slope is given as follows:

m = (5 - 1)/(5 - 0) = 4/5 = 0.8.

Hence the equation that gives the approximate height after x weeks is:

y = 0.8x + 1.

After 8 weeks, the expected height is:

y = 0.8 x 8 + 1 = 6.4 + 1 = 7.4 centimeters.
