Given that normally distributed data set has a mean of 55 and 99.7% of data fall between 47.5 and 62.5.

Let s be the standard deviation of data set.

Since 99.7% data fall within 3 standard deviations of mean, z-value for 47.5 and 62.5 has an absolute value of 3.

That is |z|=3

But z= \frac{x-mean}{standard deviation}

Let us plugin x=47.5 and mean =55 and equate it to 3.

That is |\frac{47.5-55}{s}|  = 3

             |\frac{-7.5}{s} | =3

Since x is always positive ( being standard deviation), |\frac{-7.5}{s} | = \frac{|-7.5|}{s} = \frac{7.5}{s}

Hence  \frac{7.5}{s}= 3

             s=\frac{7.5}{3}  = 2.5

We will get same value with 62.5 as well.

Hence standard deviation of data set is 2.5.

1.518 rounded to the nearest hundredth
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

1.52

Step-by-step explanation:

We're rounding to the nearest hundredth.

According to the rules of rounding, we need to look 1 digit place to the right. If  that digit is \geq 5, then we round up. Otherwise, we round down.

For 1.518, we need to look at 8 (since we're rounding to the hundredth).

8\geq 5, so we round the hundredths digit up.

So 1.518 rounds up to 1.52
