A woman is found dead on a boat floating in the middle of a lake at 4:30am. There is blunt force trauma to her head but no other

discernable damage. She is approximately 30 pounds overweight. She is wearing thermal clothing and a winter jacket, gloves, and hat. Climatological data indicate it was a clear, cold, and windy night with no precipitation. Calculate the time of death based only on a body temperature of 15.6°C (60.8°F)? Now consider the other factors presented. How would each affect this estimation?

Answer:

Dead bodies lose one degree Celsius per hour, which we could deduce that the person died 12 hours ago.

Explanation:

On the other hand, it is very important to take into account that this number of hours is very approximate, since not only does it vary greatly with the environment and the acclimatization of the environment in which the person dies, but also in this specific case, insulating clothing was presented , which made the loss of body heat much more difficult and could easily be more than 12 hours.

The minimum for this particular situation is 12 hours to 24 hours possible postmortem.

Setler [38]

Answer:

Regarding Measures of center, the Mean will be smaller, and Median will not be affected. Thus, the median will not change, since the temperature was already low initially and only decreased. However, the median takes the average of all values into account, and if you substitute a value for a smaller value, the average decreases.

In relation to Measures of spread, the range and standard deviation will be larger, and the IQR will not change. Therefore, the range is the highest minus the lowest number; if the lowest number decreases sharply, the range increases. On the other hand, the IQR only counts the first and third quartile values. Therefore, since the value was already the lowest, if it is decreased, it will not change the IQR. However, the standard deviation will increase significantly, as the decreasing value of the lowest data point will increase the overall spread.

How to convert 0.000984 into scientific notation?
Olin [163]
9.84 * 10^-4
The easiest way I remember is making the decimal first and then seeing what way the 0's are. In this case it is going left so it will be a negative exponent and if you count from 9.84 and move the decimal left 4 that's your answer.
