1. What does it mean that Nikoleta is in the 10th percentile for length and weight? Is that a desirable statistic if she was in

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Nikoleta is in the 10th percentile of length and weight, then that's another way of saying that she is in the bottom 10 percent compared to the rest of the population.  This is not a desirable statistic compared to what she was at birth.  Think of it this way, if you're really good at something like swimming and you're in the 95th percentile, that means you're better than 95% of the population.  You're in the TOP 5%.

Explanation:

1. It means that Nikoleta is longer and heavier than 10% of children her age.

2. We generally expect that a change from being in the 50th percentile to the 10th percentile signifies a condition that is interfering with normal growth. That is not usually considered desirable.

mash [69]

Complete Question

A biologist reports a confidence interval of (3.5,4.9) when estimating the mean height (in centimeters) of a sample of seedlings. What is the estimated margin of error and the sample mean?

Answer:

The  margin of error is  E = 0.7

The  sample mean is  \=  x  =  4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question we are told that

   The  upper limit is  k  =  4.9

    The  lower limit is  r = 3.5

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

      E =  \frac{k - r}{ 2}

      E = \frac{ 4.9  -  3.5 }{2}

     E = 0.7

Generally the sample mean is mathematically evaluated as

        \=  x = k  -  E

=>    \= x  =  4.9 - 0.7

=>    \=  x  =  4.2
