The average number of acres burned by all wildfires in the United States is 780 acres with standard deviation 500 acres. Of cour

se, some wildfires burn thousands of acres, so the distribution of acres burned by wildfires is strongly right skewed. A random sample of wildfires is to be taken. Between which 2 values do 94% all sample means fall for samples of size 64? If you dont think the last answer is the correct answer, then choose the answer closest to the number you calculated.
a) between 608.1 and 9951.9 acres

b) between 662.5 and 897.5 acres

c) between 682.2 and 877.8 acres

d) between 657.5 and 902.5 acres

e) These values cannot be calculated because X is not normally distributed.

Answer:

option (b) between 662.5 and 897.5 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Average number of acres burned by all wildfires = 780 acres

Standard deviation, σ = 500 acres

sample size, n = 64

confidence level = 94% = 0.94

thus,

α = 1 - 0.94 = 0.06

Now,

Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}=Z_{0.03} = 1.88  [from the standard Z table]

Therefore,

The lower limit = Mean - \frac{\sigma\times Z}{\sqrt{n}}

or

The lower limit = 780 - \frac{\500\times1.88}{\sqrt{64}}

or

The lower limit = 662.5 acres

and,

The upper limit = Mean + \frac{\sigma\times Z}{\sqrt{n}}

or

The upper limit = 780 + \frac{\500\times1.88}{\sqrt{64}}

or

The upper limit = 897.5 acres

Hence,

The correct answer is option (b) between 662.5 and 897.5 acres

The mean absolute deviation of the scuba diver’s depth over the entire 25 min is 2.4 meters

<h3>What is mean absolute deviation?</h3>

It is defined as the measure to show the variation in data set in other words between the mean and every data value, the distance known as the MAD.

We have depths of the scuba diver, in meters

{−9, −18, −16, −13, −14}

We know the formula for the mean absolute deviation:

\rm MAD = \dfrac{\sum |x-X|}{n}

Here n is total number of observation

x is the elements in the data set

X is the mean of the data.

n = 5

x = -70/5 = -14

∑|x-X| = 12

MAD = 12/5 = 2.4 meters

Thus, the mean absolute deviation of the scuba diver’s depth over the entire 25 min is 2.4 meters.
