Answer:

The data point is 1.6 standard deviations above the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score

It is the number of standard deviations from the mean that a data point is. It's a measure of how many standard deviations below or above the population mean a raw score is.

A Z-score is also known as a standard score and it can be placed on a normal distribution curve.

As in this case the Z-score is +1.6, so it means the data point is 1.6 standard deviations above the mean.

Base on the question that is asking to choose among the following choices that states on how many standard deviations above the mean and base on my own computation, I would say that the answer would be letter C. 1.6, I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more

The resting heart rate for an adult horse should average about µ = 47 beats per minute with a (95% of data) range from 19 to 75

KatRina [158]

Answer:

a. 0.0582 = 5.82% probability that the heart rate is less than 25 beats per minute.

b. 0.1762 = 17.62% probability that the heart rate is greater than 60 beats per minute.

c. 0.7656 = 76.56% probability that the heart rate is between 25 and 60 beats per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical Rule:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

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

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

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

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean:

$\mu = 47$

(95% of data) range from 19 to 75 beats per minute.

This means that between 19 and 75, by the Empirical Rule, there are 4 standard deviations. So

$4\sigma = 75 - 19$

$4\sigma = 56$

$\sigma = \frac{56}{4} = 14$

a. What is the probability that the heart rate is less than 25 beats per minute?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 25. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{25 - 47}{14}$

$Z = -1.57$

$Z = -1.57$ has a p-value of 0.0582.

0.0582 = 5.82% probability that the heart rate is less than 25 beats per minute.

b. What is the probability that the heart rate is greater than 60 beats per minute?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 60. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{60 - 47}{14}$

$Z = 0.93$

$Z = 0.93$ has a p-value of 0.8238.

1 - 0.8238 = 0.1762

0.1762 = 17.62% probability that the heart rate is greater than 60 beats per minute.

c. What is the probability that the heart rate is between 25 and 60 beats per minute?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 60 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 25. From the previous two items, we have these two p-values. So

0.8238 - 0.0582 = 0.7656

0.7656 = 76.56% probability that the heart rate is between 25 and 60 beats per minute

Answer:

7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find slope when you have two ordered pairs, you use this equation: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

In this case, when you plug them in, you get (49-7)/(42-6), which is 42/36, which is 7/6.

Hope this helped :)
