Answer: (a) Z-score are 1 and -1.2 for northern and southern regions, respectively.
Explanation: <u>Z-score</u> is how many standard deviations a data is from the population mean or how far a data point is from the mean.
The z-score is calculated by the following:
where
x is the data point
μ is population mean
σ is standard deviation
For the <u>northern</u> <u>region</u> birds:
μ = 10, σ = 3, x = 13
z = 1
The z-score for birds living in the northern region is 1, which means it is 1 standard deviation <em>above the mean</em>.
For the southern region:
μ = 16, σ = 2.5, x = 13
z = -1.2
The z-score for southern living birds is -1.2, meaning it is 1.2 standard deviations <em>below the mean</em>.
Answer:
Due to equal pressure in all the direction at a particular level in a fluid medium (Pascal's Law)
Explanation:
We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere because atmosphere is a fluid and we are immersed into it. So, according to the Pascal's law the the pressure a each point in a horizontal level is equal in all the direction irrespective of the orientation of a body.
Variation of pressure in term of the height of a fluid medium is given as:
density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height of the free surface of the fluid from the immersed object.
- And atmosphere has very less variation of pressure with change in height as it is a rare medium fluid and so for a human height there is very negligible variation of pressure at the heat of a human with respect to his toe.
