For a 4-unit class like Statistics, students should spend average of 12 hours studying for the class. A survey was done on 24 st

udents, and the distribution of total study hours per week is bell-shaped with a mean of 13 hours and a standard deviation of 2.8 hours. Use the Empirical Rule to answer the following questions.
a) 68% of the students spend between hours and hours on Statistics each week.
b) 95% of the students spend between hours and hours on Statistics each week.
c) 99.7% of the students spend between hours and hours on Statistics each week.

Answer:

a) 68% of the students spend between 10.2 hours and 15.8 hours on Statistics each week.

b) 95% of the students spend between 7.4 hours and 18.6 hours on Statistics each week.

c) 99.7% of the students spend between 4.6 hours and 21.4 hours on Statistics each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed(bell-shaped) random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 13 hours

Standard deviation = 2.8 hours.

a) 68% of the students spend between hours and hours on Statistics each week.

Within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

13 - 2.8 = 10.2 hours

13 + 2.8 = 15.8 hours

68% of the students spend between 10.2 hours and 15.8 hours on Statistics each week.

b) 95% of the students spend between hours and hours on Statistics each week.

Within 2 standard deviations of the mean

13 - 2*2.8 = 7.4 hours

13 + 2*2.8 = 18.6 hours

95% of the students spend between 7.4 hours and 18.6 hours on Statistics each week.

c) 99.7% of the students spend between hours and hours on Statistics each week.

Within 3 standard deviations of the mean

13 - 3*2.8 = 4.6 hours

13 + 3*2.8 = 21.4 hours

99.7% of the students spend between 4.6 hours and 21.4 hours on Statistics each week.

If 50% is 10 what is 25%​
kaheart [24]

Step-by-step explanation:. The first says “I know that 10 is one-tenth of 100. I will therefore divide 50 by 10. The answer is 5”.

This is fine when the numbers are relatively simple. But suppose the numbers are more complicated.

What is 22% of 46?

Now it’s much less straightforward. You can’t just work out what 22% is, expressed as a fraction, and anyway, it’s not a simple fraction.

Instead, you have to divide 46 into 100 equal parts, and work out what 22 of them would be when added together.

So: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46 [remember, when you divide by 100, you move the decimal point two places to the left].

0.46 × 22 = 10.12

Answer: 22% of 46 is 10.12.

Hope this helped :)
