Answer:
- <u><em>The standard deviation of the distribution is 1.5ºF.</em></u>
Explanation:
The known 68-95-99.7 rule, the empirical rule, states that, in a normal distribution 68% of the data are within one standard deviation from the mean, 95% of the data are within two standard deviations from the mean, and 99.7% are within three standard deviations:
- 68% ⇒ mean ± 1 standard deviation
- 95% ⇒ mean ± 2 standard deviations
- 99.7% ⇒ mean ± 3 standard deviation.
Hence, for the<em> approximately normal distribution of the daily high temperatures</em>,<em> with mean 86º</em>, and a range of <em>83ºF to 89ºF</em> for <em>95% of the data,</em> you can write:
- 86ºF ± 2 SD ⇒ 86ºF - 2 SD = 83ºF, and
- 86ºF ± 2 SD ⇒ 86ºF + 2SD = 89 ºF
Both equations will lead to the same result:
- 86ºF - 2 SD = 83ºF ⇒ 2 SD = 86ºF - 83ºF = 3ºF
SD = 3ºF / 2 = 1.5ºF
Also:
- 86ºF + 2SD = 89ºF ⇒ 2 SD = 89ºF - 86ºF = 3ºF
SD = 3ºF / 2 = 1.5ºF
Therefore, the standard deviation of the distribution is 1.5ºF.
The Sumerian religion was majorly practices by the people of Sumer. The sumers were the first literate civilization of Mesopotamia. They had a strong belief that the universe that had been formed is due to a series of cosmic births. Their deities included Enlil, Utu, Enki etc.
Whereas the Mayans believed in several aspects of rituals, astronomy and nature. They were known for their religious calendars. Their deities mainly were nature Gods like the Sun , Moon, Corn/Maize, Rains, etc.
