Answer: B) The heights of girls who live on a certain street in the city of Buffalo

Every answer choice starts with "the heights of all 14-year-old girls who", so we can ignore that part. Choice A describes the largest population while choice B describes the smallest population. In other words, choice A is very general and broad, while choice B is very specific and narrow. The more specific you get and the smaller the population is, the less likely its going to be normally distributed.

The following table shows the number of hours some teachers in two schools expect students to spend on homework each week: Schoo

Lerok [7]

Answer:

For school A: Minimum=6, Q₁=6.5, Median= 14, Q₃=16, Maximum=17, IQR=9.5

For school B: Minimum=5, Q₁=8, Median= 12, Q₃=15.5, Maximum=19, IQR=7.5

No, the box plots are not symmetric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The given data sets are

School A : 9,14,15,17,17,7,15,6,6

School B : 12,8,13,11,19,15,16,5,8

Arrange the data in ascending order.

School A : 6,6,7,9,14,15,15,17,17

School B : 5,8,8,11,12,13,15,16,19

Divide each data set in four equal parts.

School A : (6,6),(7,9),14,(15,15),(17,17)

School B : (5,8),(8,11),12,(13,15),(16,19)

For school A:

Minimum=6, Q₁=6.5, Median= 14, Q₃=16, Maximum=17

Interquartile range of the data is

$IQR=Q_3-Q_1=16-6.5=9.5$

For school B:

Minimum=5, Q₁=8, Median= 12, Q₃=15.5, Maximum=19

Interquartile range of the data is

$IQR=Q_3-Q_1=15.5-8=7.5$

Part B:

The box plots are not symmetric because the data values are different. Five number summary and IQR of both the data set are different.

Marcello is constructing the perpendicular bisector of AB¯¯¯¯¯. He has already constructed arcs as shown.

Ratling [72]

Answer: "Use the straightedge to draw a line through points X and Y." is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To perpendicular bisector of line segment AB. There are following steps:

1) Draw arcs from points A and B on the both sides of AB.

2) Name the intersection points as X and Y.

3) Use the straightedge to draw a line through points X and Y.

4) Name the point as O

hence we have construct perpendicular bisector XY of AB which bisects at O.

A lake contains 4 distinct types of fish. Suppose that each fish caught is equally likely to be any one of these types. Let Y de

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

a) P(μ-k*σ≤ Y ≤ μ+k*σ ) ≥ 0.90

a= μ-3.16*σ , b= μ+3.16*σ

b) P(Y≥ μ+3*σ ) ≥ 0.90

b= μ+3*σ

Step-by-step explanation:

from Chebyshev's inequality for Y

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) ≥ 1-1/k²

where

Y = the number of fish that need be caught to obtain at least one of each type

μ = expected value of Y

σ = standard deviation of Y

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) = probability that Y is within k standard deviations from the mean

k= parameter

thus for

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) ≥ 1-1/k²

P{a≤Y≤b} ≥ 0.90 → 1-1/k² = 0.90 → k = 3.16

then

P(μ-k*σ≤ Y ≤ μ+k*σ ) ≥ 0.90

using one-sided Chebyshev inequality (Cantelli's inequality)

P(Y- μ≥ λ) ≥ 1- σ²/(σ²+λ²)

P{Y≥b} ≥ 0.90 → 1- σ²/(σ²+λ²)= 1- 1/(1+(λ/σ)²)=0.90 → 3= λ/σ → λ= 3*σ

then for

P(Y≥ μ+3*σ ) ≥ 0.90
