Let's say you had two boxes of cereal labeled A and B. Also let's come up with a hypothetical situation that...

  • box A costs $2 and weighs 10 ounces
  • box B costs $3 and weighs 20 ounces

The question is: which is the better deal? By that I mean which is cheaper per ounce.

-----------------------

For box A, we have this ratio

2 dollars : 10 ounces

If we divide both sides by 10, then we end up with

2/10 dollars : 10/10 ounces

0.20 dollars : 1 ounce

20 cents : 1 ounce

This tells us that the unit rate for box A is 20 cents per ounce. In other words, 1 ounce costs 20 cents or each ounce costs 20 cents.

-----------------------

Do a similar thing for box B

3 dollars : 20 ounces

3/20 dollars : 20/20 ounces

0.15 dollars : 1 ounce

15 cents : 1 ounce

So box B costs 15 cents per ounce

-----------------------

In summary,

Box A's unit rate is 20 cents per ounce

Box B's unit rate is 15 cents per ounce

Box B is the better deal since it's 5 cents cheaper per ounce.

The mean for a data set is 60. The Z-score for
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

D. a = 60 and b = 58.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Z-score for data point a is 0.

This means that a is the mean, that is, a = 60.

The z-score for data point b is -0.4.

This means that b must be a value below the mean, that is, a value below 60.

The option that satisfies a = 60 and b < 60 is option D, which is the answer.
