a. find the mean and standard deviation of the following set of
ungrouped sample data: 4, 3, 5, 2, 3, 1, 2, 5, 3, 1, 5, 4, 6, 4, 5,
1, 3, 3, 7, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 7, 8, 4, 6, 9, 10, 10, 9, 6, 4, 6.
b. What proportion of the measurements lies within one standard
deviation of the mean? Within two standard deviations of the mean?
Within three standard deviations?
c. Based on part (b),...

The Standard Normal Distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard
deviation of 1 has been used to calculate areas under the normal
distribution curve. Originally, quality control analysts were
content to confine all data within +/- three
standard deviations from the mean. The Ford Motor Company in the
mid 1980s decided to try to confine all data within +/-
four standard deviations from the mean. Six Sigma,
the newest quality venture, is trying to confine all data within...

(a) Find the mean, median, mode and
standard deviation of the following set of ungrouped sample
data:
4, 2, 3, 5, 3, 1, 6, 4, 2, 3
(b) What proportion of the
measurements lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean? Within 2
standard deviations of the mean? Within 3 standard
deviations?
(c) Based on your answers to part
(b), would you conjecture that the histogram is approximately bell
shaped? Explain.

1.)
A distribution of values is normal with a mean of 240 and a
standard deviation of 8.
Find the interval containing the middle-most 84% of scores:
Enter your answer accurate to 1 decimal place using interval
notation. Example: (2.1,5.6)
Hint: To work this out, 1) sketch the distribution, 2) shade the
middle 84% of the data, 3) label unkown data values on the
horizontal axis just below the upper and lower ends of the shaded
region, 4) calculate the...

A data set has a mean of 135, a median of 137, and a standard
deviation of 13. Marrion concludes that 99.7% of the data in the
set must have values between 96 and 174.
What flaw, if any, is there in Marrion’s reasoning? Pick only
one.
A. Marrion should have calculated three standard deviations from
the median instead of calculating three standard deviations from
the mean.
B. There is no flaw in Marrion’s reasoning. He calculated three
standard deviations...
