Answer:

552; 6.6452 (approx)

Explanation:

Given that,

Car recovered, p = 92% of the time

Number of cars stolen, n = 600 (randomly selected)

Probability of not recovering: (1 - p) = 1 - 0.92

                                                          = 0.08

Mean = Number of observations × Probability of recovering

         = 600 × 0.92

         = 552

Standard deviation:

= \sqrt{n\times p\times (1-p)}

= \sqrt{600\times 0.92\times 0.08}

=\sqrt{44.16}

= 6.64529909

Therefore, the mean and standard deviation of the number of cars recovered after being​ stolen is 552 and 6.6452(approx), respectively.

Is it easy or difficult for jem and scout to change their apparent misconceptions about boo?
Snowcat [4.5K]
I believe it is difficult for jem and scout.
Boo Radley had been labeled with bad repuations by jem and scout's peers (they made up stories that boo is a ghost or even a lonely murdered).
But jem and scout later realize Boo's effort in protecting them from Bob Ewell, which eventually change their misconceptions about boo

two scientists failed to report unusual findings when they shared from a recent science expriment. Why is this not scientificall
Sedbober [7]

Whenever a research is done, you must reject or accept a null hypothesis (the one you consider is not correct) or your work hypothesis (the theory you think is must probably accurate or close to the truth) usually, when performing a research, you will not always obtain positive or statistically significant results, that validate your hypothesis. Is actually, not unusual that extremes (or extraordinary results) come out (unexpected for several reasons: incorrect size of the sample, improper selection of the subjects- a bias- lack of correct determination of the variable measured or failure to determine the type of the variable-numerical, categorical, ratio,etc-)

Positive or negative results are yet, results whether they prove or reject your hypothesis. Failing to establish a scientific hypothesis does not necessarily mean that they did something wrong, it just says that the hypothesis tested does not approach correctly to the epistemological truth (ultimately, any research is only a mere approximation to reality). Therefore, when two scientists deny sharing<em> unusual results</em>, they are acting unethically, hiding results that can mean something from a different point of view.
