Which distribution has the greatest spread

1 answer:

Sauron [17]3 years ago

4 0

For solving this question we will use the relationship between the range of data and the spread of data. The relationship is that "Higher the Range of the Data, Higher is the Spread and lower the range of the data then lower is the spread".

So, keeping in mind this definition let us proceed and check each option and measure their range.

We know that Range is measured as

Range=(Highest Value of the Data)-(Lowest Value of the Data)

a. 13.7-3.1=10.6

b. 423.6-1.3=422.3

c. 38.4-7.2=31.2

d. 231.4-5.5=225.9

As we can see Option b. has the largest range and as range is a measure of spread then option b is the distribution which has the largest spread.

The annual 2-mile fun-run is a traditional fund-raising event to support local arts and sciences activities. It is known that th

victus00 [196]

Answer: 0.0228

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The mean and the standard deviation of finish times (in minutes) for this event are respectively as :-

$\mu=30\\\\\sigma=5.5$

If the distribution of finish times is approximately bell-shaped and symmetric, then it must be normally distributed.

Let X be the random variable that represents the finish times for this event.

z score : $z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$z=\dfrac{19-30}{5.5}=-2$

Now, the probability of runners who finish in under 19 minutes by using standard normal distribution table :-

$P(X$

Hence, the approximate proportion of runners who finish in under 19 minutes = 0.0228
