Answer:

c. 1.67 standard deviations above the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score measures how many standard deviations a score X is from the mean. It is given by the following formula:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

In which \mu is the mean and \sigma is the standard deviation.

A positive z-score means that X is above the mean, and a negative Z-score means that X i below the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 8, \sigma = 3

Tyler consumed 13 pounds of sugar last year How many standard deviations from the mean is that?

This is Z when X = 13. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{13 - 8}{3}

Z = 1.67

So this is 1.67 standard deviations above the mean.

A survey 3,000 who bought a new car showed that 900 had problems. What is the relative frequency of the people that had problems
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Presuming that "survey 3,000" is the total and "900" is the factor who had problems then dividing the total amount by the amount of problems like equal the relative frequency of people that had problems

Math:

Amount of people you had problems / Amount of people who bought the new car.

900 / 3000 = 0.3

Now you need to multiply by 100% (because % in this case is a unit/measurement)

0.3 * 100% = 30%
