A study that looked at beverage consumption used sample sizes that were much smaller than previous national surveys. One part of

this study compared 20 children who were 7 to 10 years old with 5 who were 11 to 13. The younger children consumed an average of 8.2 oz of sweetened drinks per day while the older ones averaged 14.1 oz. The standard deviations were 10.8 oz and 8.2 oz respectively.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, about 68 percent of values come in one standard deviation of the mean by using a standard normal model.   Approximately 95% of the data were all within two standard deviations from the mean. Almost all of the data are in the range of three standard deviations of the mean (roughly 99.7%).

The 68-95-99.7 law, also known as the Empirical Rule, is based on this evidence. 68 percent of the data values of a naturally distributed data collection of small children with a mean of 8.2 and a standard deviation of 10.8 would be between -2.2 and 19.0.

Within a mean of 14.1 as well as a standard deviation of 8.2, 68 percent of the data values in a usually distributed data collection of older children would be between 5.9 and 22.3.

However, we cannot conclude that the data is naturally distributed since the real actual data vary from the usual normal curve computed above.

Hence, various measures like either goodness of fit or theory testing, would be used for this.

Leto [7]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

must use PEMDAS (order of operations)

step 1: multiply 7 and 6

8 + 42 / 3 x 3

step 2: divide 42 by 3

8 + 14 x 3

step 3: multiply 14 and 3

8 + 42

Add to get 50

The statue or liberty is 305 feet tall measuring from the ground to the tip of the torch if the model is 1/100 the actual size o
sergejj [24]

Given:

Height of statue or liberty from the ground = 305 feet

Model is \dfrac{1}{100} the actual size of the statue of liberty.

To find:

The height of the model of statue.

Solution:

According to the question,

Model =  \dfrac{1}{100} of the actual size

        =\dfrac{1}{100}\times 305

        =3.05

Therefore, the height of the model of statue is 3.05 feet.

Which equation represents an exponential function with an initial value of 500
WITCHER [35]
Exponential function is characterized by an exponential increase or decrease of the value from one data point to the next by some constant. When you graph an exponential function, it would start by having a very steep slope. As time goes on, the slope decreases until it levels off. The general from of this equation is: y = A×b^x, where A is the initial data point at the start of an event, like an experiment. The term 'b' is the constant of exponential change. This is raised to the power of x, which represents the independent variable, usually time.

So, the hint for you to find is the term 500 right before the term with an exponent. For example, the function would be: y = 500(1.8)^x.
