Answer:
A) Approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3 = 95%
B) approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0 = 99.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
mean;μ = 247.9
standard deviation;σ = 64.7
A) We want to find the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3.
Now, from the image attached, we can see that from the empirical curve, the probability of 1 standard deviation from the mean is (34% + 34%) = 68 %.
While probability of 2 standard deviations from the mean is (13.5% + 34% + 34% + 13.5%) = 95%
Thus, approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3 = 95%
B) Now, we want to find the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0.
53.8 and 442.0 represents 3 standard deviations from the mean.
Let's confirm that.
Since mean;μ = 247.9
standard deviation;σ = 64.7 ;
μ = 247.9
σ = 64.7
μ + 3σ = 247.9 + 3(64.7) = 442
Also;
μ - 3σ = 247.9 - 3(64.7) = 53.8
Again from the empirical curve attached, we cans that at 3 standard deviations from the mean, we have a percentage probability of;
(2.35% + 13.5% + 34% + 34% + 13.5% + 2.35%) = 99.7%
slope = - 2, midpoint = (2, - 2 )
the slope m is calculated using the ' gradient formula '
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, - 6 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 2 )
m = =
= - 2
calculate midpoint using midpoint formula
{ (4 + 0 ),
(- 6 + 2 )] = (2, - 2 )
gradient of perpendicular bisector = - =
equation in slope-intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is slope and c the y-intercept )
partial equation is y = x + c
to find c substitute ( 2, - 2) into the partial equation
- 2 = 1 + c ⇒ c = - 3
y = x - 3 in slope-intercept form
