75 98 234 191 161 264 190 374 254 231 390 330 227 246 0
SHOW WORK
a) The range of the sample data is _______ hours. (Enter integer or decimal)
b) The variance of the sample data is _______. (Enter integer or decimal)
c) The standard deviation of the sample data is _______. (Enter integer or decimal)
Is the lowest duration time usual? Why or why not? Choose from the answers below:
a) No, because it is within two standard deviations of the mean
b) No because the sample is random
c) Yes, because the lowest value in a data set is usually an outlier
d) Yes, because it is more than two standard deviations below the mean
5. Which is relatively better: a score of 79 on a psychology test or a score of 38 on an economics test? Scores on the psychology test have a mean of 89 and a standard deviation of 14. Scores on the economics test have a mean of 51 and a standard deviation of 10. Choose the correct answer from the choices below:
a) The psychology test score is relatively better because its z score is less than the z score for the economics test score
b) The economics test score is relatively better because its z score is less than the z score for the psychology test score
c) The economics test score is relatively better because its z score is greater than the z score for the psychology test score
d) The psychology test score is relatively better because its z score is greater than the z score for the economics test score
