It is possible to obtain a ""quick-and-dirty"" estimate of the mean of a normal distribution from the 50th percentile value on a

normal probability plot. Provide an argument why this is so. It is also possible to obtain an estimate of the standard deviation of a normal distribution by subtracting the 84th percentile value from the 50th percentile value. Provide an argument explaining why this is so.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is possible to obtain a ""quick-and-dirty"" estimate of the mean of a normal distribution from the 50th percentile value on a normal probability plot, because normal distribution curve is symmetrical about its mean with 50% on either side of the mean. Also it is unimodal, with mean = median = mode. Because of symmetrical shape, and other special properties we can obtain estimate of mean as the 50th percentile of any normal distribution.

Also in normal distribution 34% lie between mean and 1 std deviation on right side/left side

This gives 84th percentile is got by taking the z value on right side of mean.

When we subtract 84th percentile value from the 50th percentile value we really get -1 times std deviation.  Hence to get std deviation actual value, without negative sign, we subtract (50-34) = 16th percentile from mean.

Timmy estimated he would spend $9 at the candy store. He went a little over-budget and spent $12. What was the percent error?
kap26 [50]
<h2>Answer :</h2>

  • Error (e) = 12 - 9 = $ 3

  • assumed value (a) = $ 9

\boxed{ \mathrm{ \% \: error = \dfrac{error}{assumed \: value} \times 100}}

  • \mathrm{ \% \: error =\dfrac{3}{9} ×100}

  • \mathrm{ \% \: error = \dfrac{1}{3} ×100}

  • \mathrm{ \% \: error = 33.33 \%}
