A teacher wants to see if a new unit on fractions is helping students learn. She has five randomly selected students take a pre-

test and a post test on the material. The scores are out of 20. Suppose that you are about to compute a confidence interval for \mu_dμ d, how do you check for normality?

Answer:

Find the difference between the two scores for a number of sample distributions. Make a plot of the differences and check for outliers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Checking for Normality means basically checking if one's data distribution approximates a normal distribution.

A normal distribution is represented by a bell-shaped curve, peaking around the mean, indicating that all of the data spreads out from the mean.

Th original aim of the teacher is to check the effects of the particular added unit on the performance of students in the subject.

The teacher goes about this by testing the students before and after learning the unit.

The best way to compare of course, is to take a difference of the test scores for different samples. This first gives the idea of whether the newly introduced unit affects performance.

This set of differences is then checked for normality.

So, the best manner to make a plot of these differences. Like we mentioned earlier, a normal distribution is bell shaped. So, the plot of these differences would be a bell shaped curve if the distribution was normal and we wouldn't get a bell shaped curve if the distribution wasn't normal.

Checking for outliers help to eliminate part of data that can totally scatter the regular behaviour of the data distribution.

So, the best way for the teacher to check for normality is to find the difference between the two scores for a number of sample distributions. Make a plot of the differences and check for outliers.

Hope this Helps!!!

Dr.sox paid $1580 for a new computer system. She also paid 6.5% sales tax. How much was total cost?
Andru [333]

Answer:

$1,682.70

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Convert the percent into a decimal by multiplying by 0.01: the percent in this problem is 6.5%, so when you multiply by 0.01, you get 0.065
  2. Multiply the price by your new decimal: in this case, that would mean to multiply 1580 by 0.065, which gives you 102.7. <u>Keep in mind that this is just the tax, not your final answer.</u>
  3. Add the tax you just calculated to the original price: add 102.7 to 1580 to get 1,682.7. That is your final answer.

Find the image of A(6, -4) after it is reflected over the line y = - 2, then reflected over the line x = 1. (-4, 6) (-4, 0) (-4,
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:(-4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Point A (6,-4)

Reflection of Point A about line y=-2 is

A' (6,0)

If any Point is reflected about any line y=constant then its x coordinate remains same

Now reflection of Point A' about x=1 is

A'' (-4,0)

If any point  is reflected about line x=constant then its y coordinate remains same

Solve for x enter the solutions from the least to greatest x2+7=43 lesser x= Greater x=
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

x = ±6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out equation

x² + 7 = 43

Step 2: Subtract 7 on both sides

x² = 36

Step 3: Square root both sides

√x² = √36

x = ±6

Simplify:-6+{14+2[60-9(1+3)]}
yuradex [85]
1 + 3 = 4;
9 x 4 = 36;
60 - 36 = 24;
2 x 24 = 48;
14 + 48 = 62;
-6 + 62 = 56.
