Suppose 130 geology students measure the mass of an ore sample. Due to human error and limitations in the reliability of the​ balance, not all the readings are equal. The results are found to closely approximate a normal​ curve, with mean 82g and standard deviation 1g. Use the symmetry of the normal curve and the empirical rule as needed to estimate the number of students reporting readings between 79 g and 85g.

The mass of a sample or iron ore is known to be 35.714 grams. You measure the mass of this sample using three different scales and obtain the following masses: 36.2 g, 35 g, 34.9 g and 35.9 g. The accepted tolerance for both error and for accuracy is 2%. With respect to accuracy and precision, how would you best describe these measurements? Hint: Determine the average mass, absolute deviation for each trail, the M.A.D, and Relative Deviation (percent).

A group of students measure the length and width of a random sample of beans. They are interested in investigating the relationship between the length and width. Their summary statistics are displayed in the table below. All units, if applicable, are millimeters. Mean width: 7.647 Stdev width: 0.942 Mean height: 13.924 Stdev height: 1.703 Correlation coefficient: 0.7443 a) The students are interested in using the width of the beans to predict the height. Calculate the slope of the regression equation....

they survey a sample of n= 25 music major students. participants respond to a measure of creativity and the average score for the sample is M=64. it is known that the distribution of creativity scores for the population of college students is normal with m=53. if the standard deviation is 40, it is the result sufficient to conclude that there is a significant difference? Fail to reject or reject null hypothesis? significant difference in creativity score or no significant difference...

We measure the self-esteem scores for a sample of freshman. The population of college students has a mean self-esteem score of µ = 55 and σ = 135. The data for our freshman are as follows:         44           55                39           17           27           38           36           24           36 Summarize the sample data (that is, find the mean and standard deviation). If we ask whether our sample of freshmen is different from the typical college student, is that a one-tail test or a...
