The test scores on a 100-point test were recorded for 20 students:71 93 91 86 7573 86 82 76 5784 89 67 62 7277 68 65 75 84a. Can

you reasonably assume that these test scores have been selected from a normal population? Use a stem and leaf plot to justify your answer.b. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the scores.c. If these students can be considered a random sample from the population of all students, find a 95% confidence interval for the average test score in he population.

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 = \frac{\Sigma x}{n}

For the 100-point test score:

mean = \frac{71+93+91+...+65+75+84}{20}

mean = 76.65

<u>Standard</u> <u>Deviation</u> determines how much the data is dispersed from the mean. It is calculated as:

s=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma (x-mean)^{2}}{n-1} }

For the 100-point test score:

s=\sqrt{\frac{[(71-76.65)+(93-76.65)+...+(84-76.65)]^{2}}{20-1} }

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 ± z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

where

z is the z-score for the 95% confidence interval, which is equal 1.96

Calculating interval

76.65 ± 1.96.\frac{10.04}{\sqrt{20} }

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.

1.) You have 12 toppings. You choose one topping--that leaves you with 11 toppings. You choose another--that leaves 10. 12×11×10 = 1,320.
Multiply 1,320 topping choices by 6 cheeses to get 7,920 total combinations.

Tests show that the hydrogen ion concentration of a sample of apple juice is 0.0003 and that of ammonia is 3.1 x 10^-9. Find the
scoundrel [369]
PH can be calculated using the following equation 
pH = -log [H₃O⁺]
for apple juice the hydronium /hydrogen ion concentration is 0.0003
pH = -log (0.0003)
pH = 3.5
correct answer is C

For ammonia 
pH = -log (3.1 x 10⁻⁹)
pH = 8.5 
answer should be 8.5
