A process of inserting points between actual plotted data points or extending an actual line of data is called:

german

The <em>correct answer</em> is:

interpolating

Explanation:

Interpolation is a method of constructing new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points.

This would include inserting data points between two known points and extending a data set.

The temperature rose by 11 degrees Fahrenheit today. Write a signed number to represent this temperature change

Anestetic [448]

The rise in temperature by 11 degrees Fahrenheit can be represented by the temperature change, ΔT = +11 °F. The temperature change is positive because the temperature increased as stated in the question. Moreover, the formula for temperature change is: ΔT = T_final - T_initial. This means that for this case, the final temperature is higher than the initial temperature.

A city police officer using radar checked the speed of 26 cars as they were travelling down a city street and the data is given

pychu [463]

Answer: The distribution of the data set is positively skewed.

<u>Explanation: </u>

In order to see whether the given data set is symmetric, positively skewed or negatively skewed, we will find the mean, median and mode of the given data set.

For symmetric distribution, $Mean = Median=Mode$

For positively skewed distribution, $Mean > Median>Mode$

For negatively skewed distribution, $Mean < Median$

The mean of the given data set is given below:

$Mean = \frac{27+23+22+38+43+24+25+23+22+54+31+30+29+48+27+25+29+28+26+33+25+21+23+34+20+23}{26}$

$=\frac{753}{26}$

$=28.96$

Now, the Median is:

To find the median we need to sort the data in ascending order as:

$20,21,22,22,23,23,23,23,24,25,25,25,26,27,27,28,29,29,30,31,33,34,38,43,48,54$

$Median=\left(\frac{N+1}{2} \right)^{th} item$

$=\left(\frac{26+1}{2}\right)^{th} item$

$=13.5^{th} item$

$=26+0.5 \times (27-26)$

$=26.5$

$\therefore Median = 26.5$

The mode is the most frequently occurring observation. Therefore the mode is:

$Mode=23$

Since the $Mean >Median>Mode$ , therefore the distribution of the given data set is positively skewed.

Scores on a university exam are Normally distributed with a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 8. The professor teaching the

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Porcentage of students score below 62 is close to 0,08%

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule

68-95-99.7

establishes:

The intervals:

[ μ₀ - 0,5σ , μ₀ + 0,5σ] contains 68.3 % of all the values of the population

[ μ₀ - σ , μ₀ + σ] contains 95.4 % of all the values of the population

[ μ₀ - 1,5σ , μ₀ + 1,5σ] contains 99.7 % of all the values of the population

In our case such intervals become

[ μ₀ - 0,5σ , μ₀ + 0,5σ] ⇒ [ 78 - (0,5)*8 , 78 + (0,5)*8 ] ⇒[ 74 , 82]

[ μ₀ - σ , μ₀ + σ] ⇒ [ 78 - 8 , 78 +8 ] ⇒ [ 70 , 86 ]

[ μ₀ - 1,5σ , μ₀ + 1,5 σ] ⇒ [ 78 - 12 , 78 + 12 ] ⇒ [ 66 , 90 ]

Therefore the last interval

[ μ₀ - 1,5σ , μ₀ + 1,5 σ] ⇒ [ 66 , 90 ]

has as lower limit 66 and contains 99.7 % of population, according to that the porcentage of students score below 62 is very small, minor than 0,15 %

100 - 99,7 = 0,3 %

Only 0,3 % of population is out of μ₀ ± 1,5 σ, and by symmetry 0,3 /2 = 0,15 % is below the lower limit, 62 is even far from 66 so we can estimate, that the porcentage of students score below 62 is under 0,08 %
