At Burnt Mesa Pueblo, archaeological studies have used the method of tree-ring dating in an effort to determine when prehistoric

people lived in the pueblo. Wood from several excavations gave a mean of (year) 1256 with a standard deviation of 41 years. The distribution of dates was more or less mound-shaped and symmetrical about the mean. Use the empirical rule to estimate the following.
(a) a range of years centered about the mean in which about 68% of the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A.D.
(b) a range of years centered about the mean in which about 95% of the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A.D.
(c) a range of years centered about the mean in which almost all the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A.D.

Answer:

a) (1215, 1297)

b) (1174,  1338)

c) (1133, 1379)      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 1256

Standard Deviation, σ = 41

Empirical Rule:

  • Also known as 68-95-99.7 rule.
  • It states that almost all the data lies within three standard deviation for a normal data.
  • About 68% of data lies within 1 standard deviation of mean.
  • About 95% of data lies within two standard deviation of mean.
  • About 99.7% of data lies within 3 standard deviation of mean.

a) range of years centered about the mean in which about 68% of the data lies

\mu \pm 1(\sigma)\\=1256 \pm 41\\=(1215, 1297)

68% of data will be found between 1215 years and 1297 years.

b) range of years centered about the mean in which about 95% of the data lies

\mu \pm 2(\sigma)\\=1256 \pm 2(41)\\=1256 \pm 82\\=(1174, 1338)

95% of data will be found between 1174 years and 1338 years.

c) range of years centered about the mean in which about all of the data lies

\mu \pm 3(\sigma)\\=1256 \pm 3(41)\\=1256 \pm 123\\=(1133, 1379)

All of data will be found between 1133 years and 1379 years.

How can you solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letter
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

X=3

Step-by-step explanation:

For a linear equation like 2x + 3 = 9 you would start with subtracting 3 from both sides. Then you would divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself. You get x=3

For linear inequalities it’s the same but with a less than or equal sign. You just solve the same way. However if you divide a negative the sign flips like in my second example. I’m not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for since I don’t know what your problems look like but I hope it helps.
