We have to define an interval about the mean that contains 75% of the values. This means half of the values will lie above the mean and half of the values lie below the mean.
So, 37.5% of the values will lie above the mean and 37.5% of the values lie below the mean.
In a Z-table, mean is located at the center of the data. So the position of the mean is at 50% of the data. So the position of point 37.5% above the mean will be located at 50 + 37.5 = 87.5% of the overall data
Similarly position of the point 37.5% below the mean will be located at
50 - 37.5% = 12.5% of the overall data
From the z table, we can find the z value for both these points. 12.5% converted to z score is -1.15 and 87.5% converted to z score is 1.15.
Using these z scores, we can find the values which contain 75% of the values about the mean.
z score of -1.15 means 1.15 standard deviations below the mean. So this value comes out to be:
150 - 1.15(25) = 121.25
z score of 1.15 means 1.15 standard deviations above the mean. So this value comes out to be:
150 + 1.15(25) = 178.75
So, the interval from 121.25 to 178.75 contains the 75% of the data values.
To answer this question, you need to divide the amount of sugar you have, 912 cups, by the amount needed for a batch, 34. The answer is 26.82353 (rounded). When this is changed to a mixed number, the answer is 26 14/17
Answer:
Losing weight from 50lb to 40lb is a larger percent change.
That would be the equivalent of going from 100lb to 80lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
By viewing equivalent ratios and rates as deriving from, and extending, pairs of rows (or columns) in the multiplication table and by analyzing simple drawings that indicate the relative size of quantities.
