This lesson asked you to investigate what it means for data to fall within 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations from the mean in a va

riety of normal distribution curves. Imagine that you hold a position on your city council and are in charge of creating new programs to benefit members of your community. In some cases, you must also decide which parts of the population are eligible for enrollment in a given program. How might the concept of standard deviations from the mean be interpreted in your decisions? For example, is it fair to make most programs only available to populations within 1 standard deviation from the mean? Can you imagine cases where you might want to create new programs for people who fall toward the extreme ends of the distribution? Give your opinion as well as some examples. ​

Answer:

The data in statistics is generally supposed to deviate or vary from the mean. Standard deviations of 1, 2, and 3 are commonly used to calculate variability according to the empirical norm. In a normal distribution, we estimate 68 percent, 95 percent, and 98 percent of the data to be within 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations of the mean, respectively. This implies that the given percentage of data will lie within an interval of less than or greater than the standard deviation. If the values within a given standard deviation from the mean are standardized, the z value will always be equal to or less than the given standard deviation.

We should look at a program that aims to help people get out of poverty by using the standard deviation principle. The aim of the program is to provide free seeds to poor people who have been suffering from low yields due to the use of local seeds. If we use the definition of one standard deviation of the mean, or 2 and 3, we will favor the majority of people, but we will leave the poorest people in society behind.

The estimated quotient of 895 divided by 19 is what number?a. 40 b. 45 c. 55 d. 60
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

b. 45

Step-by-step explanation:

895 ÷ 19 = 47.1

47.1 rounded is 50, but since there is no 50 option, we'll just round it down to 45.

--

another way:

round 895 (900) and 19 (20)

divide:

895 ÷ 20 = 45

you'll get 45 either way :)

The Measure of the Missing Angles can be found by this formula: x+y+z= 180°.
You already know the measure of 1 Angle, which is 30°, right?
You also know that this Triangle is a Right Triangle, so the Square for One Angle indicates that the Angle is 90°.
y= 90°, and z= 30°, and you know that the Total Measure of any Triangle is 180° Total.
90°+30° = 120°, and 180°-120°= 60°, so finally, x= 60°, and y=90°, and z= 30°.

A computer generates 80 integers from 1 to 5 at random. The results are recorded in the table. What is the experimental probabil
matrenka [14]

The experimental probability of the computer generating a 2 is 20%.

<h3>What is the experimental probability?</h3>

The experimental probability determines the odds an event would happen based on the results of an experiment.

Experimental probability = ( number of times a 2 was generated / total number of numbers generated) x 100

(16 / 80) x 100 = 20%

Find all the missing elements:
pentagon [3]

Answer:

B = 34.2°

C = 58.2° or 121.8°

c= 10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Finding c

We calculate c using Pythagoras Theorem

c²= a² + b²

c = √a² + b²

a= 8, b = 7

c = √8² + 7²

c = √64 + 49

c = √(113)

c = 10.630145813

Approximately c = 10.6

Step 2

Find B

We solve this using Sine rule

a/sin A = b/sin B

A = 40°

a = 8

b = 7

Hence,

8/sin 40° = 7/sin B

8 × sin B = sin 40° × 7

sin B = sin 40° × 7/8

B = arc sin (sin 40° × 7/8)

B ≈34.22465°

Approximately = 34.2°

Step 3

We find C

Find B

We solve this using Sine rule

b/sin B = c/sin C

B = 34.2°

b = 7

c = 10.6

C = ?

Hence,

7/sin 34.2° = 10.6/sin C

7 × sin C = sin 34.2 × 10.6

sin C = sin 34.2° × 10.6/7

C = arc sin (sin 34.2° × 10.6/7)

C = arcsin(0.85)

C= 58.211669383

Approximately C = 58.2°

Or = 180 - 58.2

C = 121.8°
