I have my work at the bottom but to explain you have to divide 30/12, and I got 2.5. That means 30 is 2.5 times bigger than 12. Because we have to find x, we have to divide 7/2.5, to find what is 2.5 times smaller than 7. That’s 2.8. So, x= 2.8
Answer:
a) The difference is of 3.222 lbs.
b) 1.64 standard deviations.
c) Z = 1.64
d) Not significant, as the z-score of 1.64 is between -2 and 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
The mean of all of the weights is x=2.088 lb, and the standard deviation of the weights is s=1.968 lb.
This means that
a. What is the difference between the weight of 5.31 lb and the mean of the weights?
This is
The difference is of 3.222 lbs.
b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]?
This is the z-score. So
1.64 standard deviations.
c. Convert the weight of 5.31 lb to a z score.
Z = 1.64, as found above.
d. If we consider weights that convert to z scores between −2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the weight of 5.31 lb significant?
Not significant, as the z-score of 1.64 is between -2 and 2.
