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.

An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 47.2 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted t
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Test statistic = 1.664

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis :

H0 : μ = 47.2

H1 : μ ≠ 47.2

Given that :

Sample mean, xbar = 47

Sample size, n = 250

Standard deviation, σ = 1.9

The test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (σ/√(n))

T = (47 - 47.2) ÷ (1.9/√(250))

T = (0.2 / 0.1201665)

Test statistic = 1.664
