Question

On a baseball team, the ages of each of the players are as follows: 21; 21; 22; 23; 24; 24; 25; 25; 28; 29; 29; 31; 32; 33; 33; 34; 35; 36; 36; 36; 36; 38; 38; 38; 40 Use your calculator or computer to find the mean and standard deviation. Then find the value that is two standard deviations above the mean.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean = 30.68

Standard deviation = 6.095

Two standard deviations above the mean = 42.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data :

21; 21; 22; 23; 24; 24; 25; 25; 28; 29; 29; 31; 32; 33; 33; 34; 35; 36; 36; 36; 36; 38; 38; 38; 40

Mean = Σ(x) / n

n = 25

Σ (X) = 767

Mean (m) = 767 / 25

Mean (m) = 30.68

Standard deviation : sqrt[Σ(x - m) / n]

Using a calculator :

Standard deviation = 6.095 ( 2 decimal places)

2 standard deviations above the mean :

Mean + 2(standard deviation)

Mean + 2(6.095)

30.68 + 12.19

30.68 + 12.19

= 42.87
