"Bucket method"
.. (4)*(14%) + (x)*(8%) = (4 +x)*(10%) . . . . . liters and % are in each "bucket"
.. 56 +8x = 40 +10x . . . . . multiply by 100, eliminate parentheses
.. 16 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -40-8x, then divide by 2
.. 8 = x

Suppose that salaries for recent graduates of one university have a mean of $25,700 with a standard deviation of $1350. Using Ch

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

75% of the data will reside in the range 23000 to 28400.

Step-by-step explanation :

To find the range of values :

We need to find the values that deviate from the mean. Since we want at least 75% of the data to reside between the range therefore we have,

$1 - \frac{1}{k^2} =\frac{75}{100}$

Solving this, we would get k = 2 which shows the value one needs to find lies outside the range.

Range is given by : mean +/- (z score) × (value of a standard deviation)

⇒ Range : 25700 +/- 2 × 1350

⇒ Range : (25700 - 2700) to (25700 + 2700)

Hence, 75% of the data will reside in the range 23000 to 28400.
