Answer:

  • <u><em>The standard deviation of the distribution is 1.5ºF.</em></u>

Explanation:

The known 68-95-99.7 rule, the empirical rule, states that, in a normal distribution 68% of the data are within one standard deviation from the mean, 95% of the data are within two standard deviations from the mean, and 99.7% are within three standard deviations:

  • 68% ⇒ mean ± 1 standard deviation
  • 95% ⇒ mean ± 2 standard deviations
  • 99.7% ⇒ mean ± 3 standard deviation.

Hence, for the<em> approximately normal distribution of the daily high temperatures</em>,<em> with mean 86º</em>, and a range of <em>83ºF to 89ºF</em> for <em>95% of the data,</em> you can write:

  • 86ºF ± 2 SD ⇒ 86ºF - 2 SD = 83ºF, and

  • 86ºF ± 2 SD ⇒  86ºF + 2SD = 89 ºF

Both equations will lead to the same result:

  • 86ºF - 2 SD  = 83ºF ⇒ 2 SD = 86ºF - 83ºF = 3ºF

         SD = 3ºF / 2 = 1.5ºF

Also:

  • 86ºF + 2SD = 89ºF ⇒ 2 SD = 89ºF - 86ºF = 3ºF

         SD = 3ºF / 2 = 1.5ºF

Therefore, the standard deviation of the distribution is 1.5ºF.

Yakvenalex [24]

Dan Pacholke is a prison administrator and reformer who has an experience of 30 years working in the sector. He has made numerous efforts throughout the years to improve the living conditions of confined prisoners, including giving them education programs.

When he says that the system has become very good at containing people who have fallen through all other social safety nets, he means that the there are very little efforts done in order to prevent people to incur in actions that would lead them to imprisonment. In other words, there is no proactive program to prevent people to commit more crimes but rather a reactive one that is prepared to receive people who have already done some sort of harm to society.

<span>All of us are a product of the culture we are raised in, the rules and regulations that we must follow and the spoken and unspoken world views that are passed on. We see the world from our perspective and our reality, we cannot help it, it is the filter we look at life through. Sometimes without even knowing how prejudiced we are, we form our opinions from the experiences we have had and what we have watched as we were growing up. Everything comes from a place deep within us that helps us make sense of the world and the people in it.</span>
