MATH 225N Understanding the Empirical Rule: Week 5 (summer 2020/21) complete A Grade answers & solution guide.- A random sample of CO2 levels in a school has a sample mean of x¯=4 ppm and sample stan... dard deviation of s=86.7 ppm. Use the Empirical Rule to determine the approximate percentage of CO2 levels that lie between 338.3 and 858.5 ppm. 2. Question: Suppose that a random sample of redwood trees has a sample mean diameter of x¯=1 feet, with a sample standard deviation of s=3.7 feet. Since the diameters of redwood trees are generally symmetric and bell-shaped, we can apply the Empirical Rule. Between what two diameters are approximately 68% of the data? 3. Question: Suppose a random sample of monthly rainfalls in a given area has a sample mean of x¯=2 inches, with a sample standard deviation of s=3.5 inches. Since rainfall amounts in this area are generally symmetric and bell-shaped, we can apply the Empirical Rule. Between what two amounts are approximately 99.7% of the data? 4. Question: Suppose a random sample of adult women has a sample mean height of x¯=3 inches, with a sample standard deviation of s=2.4 inches. Since height distribution are generally symmetric and bell-shaped, we can apply the Empirical Rule. Between what two heights are approximately 99.7% of the data? 5. Question: For the same random sample of adult women, with a sample mean height of x¯=3 inches and sample standard deviation of s=2.4inches, use the Empirical Rule to determine the approximate percent of heights that lie between 59.5 inches and 69.1 inches. 6. Question: Returning to the sample of adult women, with a sample mean height of x¯=3 inches and sample standard deviation of s=2.4 inches, use the Empirical Rule to estimate the percentage of heights that are less than 61.9 inches. 7. Question: A random sample of males has a sample mean blood volume of x¯=2 liters, with a sample standard deviation of s=0.2 liters. Since blood volumes in males are generally symmetric and bell-shaped, we can apply the Empirical Rule. Between what two volumes are approximately 95% of the data? [Show More]
