Is a measure of 26 inches​ "far away" from a mean of 16 ​inches? As someone with knowledge of​ statistics, you answer​ "it depen

ds" and request the standard deviation of the underlying data. ​(a) Suppose the data come from a sample whose standard deviation is 2 inches. How many standard deviations is 26 inches from 16 ​inches? ​(b) Is 26 inches far away from a mean of 16 ​inches? ​(c) Suppose the standard deviation of the underlying data is 7 inches. Is 26 inches far away from a mean of 16 ​inches?

Answer: Hello!

In a normal distribution, between the mean and the mean plus the standar deviation, there is a 34.1% of the data set, between the mean plus the standar deviation, and the mean between two times the standard deviation, there is a 16.2% of the data set, and so on.

If our mean is 16 inches, and the measure is 26 inches, then the difference is 10 inches between them.

a) if the standar deviation is 2 inches, then you are 10/2 = 5 standar deviations from the mean.

b) yes, is really far away from the mean, in a normal distribution a displacement of 5 standar deviations has a very small probability.

c) Now the standar deviation is 7, so now 26 is in the range between 1 standar deviation and 2 standar deviations away from the mean.

Then this you have a 16% of the data, then in this case, 26 inches is not far away from the mean.

is it possible to complete the mapping diagram for Diagram C so it represents a function? If so, complete the diagram to show a
GaryK [48]
Yes because you have to complete diagram A and B then you can do C so it’s depends on which numbers if it’s function or not.

42 is 30% of what number??? Add work plz
romanna [79]
X - the number

30\% x =42 \\
\frac{30}{100}x=42 \\
\frac{3}{10}x=42 \\
x=42 \times \frac{10}{3} \\
x=\frac{420}{3} \\
x=140

42 is 30% of 140.

PLS HELLPPPP with a good and simplified explanation<br><br> just 7th grade.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

1 / 10 (1 : 10) (10%)  - your teacher has probably given you some idea as to the formatting of how you should write probability [so 3 different ways are written here], but I suspect they expect you to write it as 1 / 10

Step-by-step explanation:

only 1 out of all of these 10 trials is a "success" (aka what we are looking for)

we know that 7 matches the criteria of all years seeing a groundhog, and that all other options (1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 8 , 9 , 10) do not meet this criteria.

so, the experimental probability** is 1 / 10 (or 1 : 10) (1 / 10 = 10%)

**: experimental probability is about how many times something happens in the experiment--not theoretically. it means that if his life was destined to be 1 of the 10, the probability of his experience matching the criteria is 1 / 10

experimental probability can be thought of as

successes / possible outcomes

{I hope this was helpful!! }
