The Marine Corps is ordering hats for all the new recruits for the entire next year. Since they do not know the exact hat sizes

they will use statistics to calculate the necessary numbers. This is the data from a sample of the previous recruits: 7.2, 6.8, 6, 6.9, 7.8, 6.2, 6.4, 7.2, 7.4, 6.8, 6.7, 6, 6.4, 7, 7, 7.6, 7.6, 6, 6.8, 6.4 a. Display the data in a line plot and stem-and-leaf plot. (These plots don’t need to be pretty; just make sure I can make sense of your plots.) Describe what the plots tell you about the data. b. Find the mean, median, mode, and range. c. Is it appropriate to use a normal distribution to model this data? d. Suppose that the Marine Corps does know that the heights of new recruits are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 70.5 inches and a standard deviation of 1.5 inches. Use the mean and standard deviation to fit the new recruit heights to a normal distribution and estimate the following percentages. d1. What percent of new recruits would be taller than 72 inches? d2. What percent of new recruits would be shorter than 67.5 inches? d3. What percent of new recruits would be between 69 and 72 inches? d4. Between what two heights would capture 95% of new recruits?? By using statistics are the numbers changed to whole numbers?

This is a stem and leaf plot.

mean is 138.2/20=6.91

median of 20 is half way between 10th and 11th or an ordered plot. The 10th and the 11th are both 6.8, so that is the median.

6.4 and 6.8 are modes, but they are so minimal I would say there isn't a clear mode.

The range is 1.8, the largest-the smallest

This is not a normal distribution.

z=(x-mean) sd

a.(72-70.5)/1.5=1 so z>1 is the probability or 0.1587.

b.shorter than 67.5 inches is (67.5-70.5)/1.5 or z < = -2, and probability is 0.0228.

c.Between 69 and 72 inches is +/- 1 sd or 0.6826.

95% is 1.96 sd s on either side or +/- 1.96*1.5=+/- 2.94 interval on either side of 70.5

How do you solve 224/7 using distributive property?
Nadusha1986 [10]
I think the solution you are looking for is this :

224\quad =\quad 7\cdot 32\\ \\ \frac { 224 }{ 7 } =\frac { 7\cdot 32 }{ 7 } \\ \\ \frac { 7\cdot 32 }{ 7 } =\quad \frac { 7 }{ 7 } \cdot 32\quad =\quad 1\cdot 32=\quad 32

A recent national survey found that high school students watched an average (mean) of 7.8 movies per month with a population sta
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean = 7.8

Standard deviation = 0.5

sample size = 30

Sample mean = 7.3 5.4772

The null and the alternative hypothesis is as follows;

\mathbf{ H_o: \mu  \geq  7.8}

\mathbf{ H_1: \mu  <  7.8}

The test statistics can be computed as :

z = \dfrac{X- \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \dfrac{7.3- 7.8}{\dfrac{0.5}{\sqrt{30}}}

z = \dfrac{-0.5}{\dfrac{0.5}{5.4772}}

z = - 5.4772

The p-value at  0.05 significance level is:

p-value = 1- P( Z < -5.4772)

p value = 0.00001

Decision Rule:

The decision rule is to reject the null hypothesis if  p value is less than 0.05

Conclusion:

At  the 0.05 significance level,  there is sufficient information to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore ,we  conclude that college students watch fewer movies a month than high school students.
