Answer:

The Population Density is 500\ People/mi^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of People = 900,000

Total Land Area = 1800 sq. mi.

Solution,

For calculating the population density, we have to divide the total number of people by the area of the land.

This can be framed in equation form'

Population\ Density=\frac{Total\ Number\ of\ People}{Land\ Area}

Now putting the given values, we get;

Population\ Density=\frac{900,000}{1800\ mi^2}=500\ People/mi^2

Hence The Population Density is 500\ People/mi^2.

A set of data with a mean of 53, and a standard deviation of 6.2 is normally distributed. Find the value of a data point that is
Evgesh-ka [11]

The value of a data point that is -2 standard deviations from the mean

so, 40.6 to 65.4.

<h3>What is the empirical rule?</h3>

According to the empirical rule, also known as the 68-95-99.7 rule, the percentage of values that lie within an interval with 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the values lies within one, two, or three standard deviations of the mean of the distribution.

P(\mu - \sigma < X < \mu + \sigma)  \approx 68\%\\P(\mu - 2\sigma < X < \mu + 2\sigma)  \approx 95\%\\P(\mu - 3\sigma < X < \mu + 3\sigma)  \approx 99.7\%

From the empirical rule, we know that for 95% we are in 2 standard deviations of the mean. so:

= 53- 6.2- 6.2

= 40.6

The value of a data point that is -2 standard deviations from the mean

53 + 6.2 + 6.2

= 65.4
