That question is accompanied by these answer choices:

<span>A. The scale is accurate but not precise.
B. The scale is precise but not accurate.
C. The scale is neither precise nor accurate.
D. The scale is both accurate and precise.

Then you need to distinguish between accuracy and precision.

Accuracy refers to the closeness of the measure to the real value, while precision, in this case, refers to the level of significant figures that the sacle report.

The fact that the scale reports the number with 4 significant figures means that it is very precise, but the fact that the result is not so close to the real value as the number of significan figures pretend to be, means that the scale is not accurate.

So, the answer is that the scale is precise but not accurate (the option B</span>

The graph shows the distribution of the number of text messages young adults send per day. The distribution is approximately Nor
erik [133]

The percentage of young adults send between 128 and 158 text messages per day is; 34%

<h3>How to find the percentage from z-score?</h3>

The distribution is approximately Normal, with a mean of 128 messages and a standard deviation of 30 messages.

We are given;

Sample mean; x' = 158

Population mean; μ = 128

standard deviation; σ = 30

We want to find the area under the curve from x = 248 to x = 158.

where x is the number of text messages sent per day.

To find P(158 < x < 248), we will convert the score x = 158 to its corresponding z score as;

z = (x - μ)/σ

z = (158 - 128)/30

z = 30/30

z = 1

This tells us that the score x = 158 is exactly one standard deviation above the mean μ = 128.

From online p-value from z-score calculator, we have;

P-value = 0.34134 = 34%

Approximately 34% of the the population sends between 128 and 158 text messages per day.
