Answer: a. Yes
b. mean = 76.65
standard deviation = 10.04
c. 76.65 ± 4.4
Step-by-step explanation:
a. <u>Stem</u> <u>and</u> <u>leaf</u> <u>Plot</u> shows the frequencies with which classes of value occur. To create this plot, we divide the set of numbers into 2 columns: <u>stem</u>, the left column, which contains the tens digits; <u>leaf</u>, the right column, which contains the unit digits.
<u>Normal</u> <u>distribution</u> is a type of distribution: it's a bell-shaped, symmetrical, unimodal distribution.
A stem and leaf plot displays the main features of the distribution. If turned on its side, we can see the shape of the data.
The figure below shows the stem and leaf plot of the 100-point test score. As we can see, when turned, the plot resembles bell-shaped distribution. So, this test scores were selected from a normal population.
b. <u>Mean</u> is the average number of a data set. It is calculated as the sum of all the data divided by the quantity the sample has:
mean =
For the 100-point test score:
mean =
mean = 76.65
<u>Standard</u> <u>Deviation</u> determines how much the data is dispersed from the mean. It is calculated as:
For the 100-point test score:
s = 10.04
The mean and standard deviation of the scores are 76.65 and 10.04, respectively.
c. <u>Confidence</u> <u>Interval</u> is a range of values we are confident the real mean lies.
The calculations for the confidence interval is
mean ±
where
z is the z-score for the 95% confidence interval, which is equal 1.96
Calculating interval
76.65 ±
76.65 ± 4.4
The 95% confidence interval for the average test score in the population of students is between 72.25 and 81.05.
