Answer:

b. divide them into groups based on similarities

Step-by-step explanation:

Blocking is a method in statistics used to reduce the effect of nuisance variables in an experiment. Nuisance variables are those factors that could result in variations during the experiment. During blocking, subjects with similar features are grouped in the same block, and treatment is then administered to each of these subjects. In order to form blocks, blocking factors are used.

Blocking factors can affect the results of an experiment but they are of no importance to the experimenter. An example of a blocking factor is age.  So, for Isamu who seeks to use blocking to deal with an extraneous factor in his experiment, blocking would enable him to divide his subjects into groups based on similarities.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Tuesday z-score was 3.26.

Tuesday was a significantly good day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

A score is said to be significantly high if it has a z-score higher than 1.64, that is, it is at least in the 95th percentile.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 28372.72, \sigma = 2000

On​ Tuesday, the store sold​ $34,885.21 worth of goods. Find​ Tuesday's ​z-score.

This is Z when X = 34885.21

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{34885.21 - 28372.72}{2000}

Z = 3.26

Tuesday z-score was 3.26.

Was Tuesday a significantly good​ day?

A z-score of 3.26 has a pvalue of 0.9994. So only 1-0.9994 = 0.0006 = 0.06% of the day are better than Tuesday.

So yes, Tuesday was a significantly good day.
