Think about the many statistical scores or rankings you receive in school, such as GPA, SAT and ACT scores, test scores, and cla

ss ranking. Describe the usefulness and limitations of these pieces of data in defining who you are as a person or as a student. In what ways do they help give a clear picture? What are they not conveying?

The usefulness is that this data allows you to understand how well students perform with their instruction, based on a standardized test. The limitation is that the scores don't account for different situations that may affect the results you receive.

Solve: 3a - 2.4 = 5.1 a = _____
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

a=2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3a-2.4=5.1   Add the like terms ( plus 2.4 cancels out -2.4)

   +2.4  +2.4

3a=7.5  Now divide by 3

/3     /3

a=2.5

If the area of a square is 36 inches what is the length of one side?
Pavel [41]
To find the length of a square given the area, we just need to take the square root of the area given. The sqrt of 36 is 6, so each side is 6 inches. :)

25% of what number is 9
Alexeev081 [22]
Keep in mind the the word "percent" translates to "for each 100." 25% can be read as "25 for each 100," which has the fractional representation \frac{25}{100} and the decimal representation 0.25. All of these representations are just different ways of writing the same value.

Note too that the fraction \frac{25}{100} can be reduced to \frac{1}{4}, so what the question is really asking is: 1/4 of what number is 9?

Well, if we know that 1/4 of the number is 9, we can easily find how large the whole number is by finding all 4/4 of it (the <em>whole</em> number)<em /><em />, or 4 x 9, which multiplies out to 36.

A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a stand
Art [367]

Answer:

b. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation - 0.92 years, shape: approximately Normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction of normal Variables:

When we subtract normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a standard deviation of 4.2 years. Sample of 35:

This means that:

\mu_G = 15

s_G = \frac{4.2}{\sqrt{35}} = 0.71

The distribution of life spans for electric ranges has a mean of 13.4 years and a standard deviation of 3.7 years. Sample of 40:

This means that:

\mu_E = 13.4

s_E = \frac{3.7}{\sqrt{40}} = 0.585

Which of the following best describes the sampling distribution of the difference in mean life span of gas ranges and electric ranges?

Shape is approximately normal.

Mean:

\mu = \mu_G - \mu_E = 15 - 13.4 = 1.6

Standard deviation:

s = \sqrt{s_G^2+s_E^2} = \sqrt{0.71^2+0.585^2} = 0.92

So the correct answer is given by option b.
