Suppose I know that my son’s height is at the 65^th percentile for his age (that is, 65% of the kids his age is shorter than him). Then his z-score is _0.35845879. Suppose I was at the 30^th percentile in height when I was 8 years old. That means that my z-score was ___.
Hint: I find the z-score for the 84^th percentile by typing display invnormal(0.84)
Hint: the proportion of grades between 2 SDs above the mean and 1 SD above the mean is (approximately) 13.5%, which I find by typing display normal (2) - normal (1) into Stata.
___% of all observations lie within 1 SD of the mean.
___% of all observations lie within 2 SDs of the mean.
___% of all observations lie within 3 SDs of the mean.
In a quantile Normal plot, if the points of the variable lie along a ___ ___, more or less, then we have evidence that the variable is Normally distributed.
In a quantile Normal plot, the more the points of the variable deviate from a straight line, the less the variable is __________ distributed.
If a variable is right skewed (and takes only positive values), we can take a _____ to make it closer to Normally distributed.
Compare GDP and log(GDP). log(GDP) is more _____ (right-skewed / symmetric) than GDP.

Expert Solution

Suppose I was at the 30th percentile in height when I was 8 years old. That means that my z-score was -0.5244005.
Hint: the proportion of grades between 2 SDs above the mean and 1 SD above the mean is (approximately) 13.5%, which I find by typing display normal (2) - normal (1) into Stata.
68.26895% of all observations lie within 1 SD of the mean.
95.44997 % of all observations lie within 2 SDs of the mean.
99.73002% of all observations lie within 3 SDs of the mean.
In a quantile Normal plot, if the points of the variable lie along a straight line, more or less, then we have evidence that the variable is Normally distributed.
In a quantile Normal plot, the more the points of the variable deviate from a straight line, the less the variable is normally distributed.
If a variable is right skewed (and takes only positive values), we can take a transformation to make it closer to Normally distributed.
Compare GDP and log(GDP). log(GDP) is more symmetric than GDP.

I am playing a game of Dungeon and Dragons with my family. My son’s character must roll a critical hit, (19 or 20) on a 20 sided die. Without a critical hit, he cannot do enough damage to the troll. The troll will regenerate and kill me on the next turn. In addition to getting a high roll for hit chance, my son’s character must also get a high roll for damage. His weapon is a great sword and does...

1. If my independent variable is height and my dependent variable is weight, am I most likely looking at “differences” or “a relationship”? Please explain why. 2. What is the difference between descriptive and inferential statistics? Obviously only a crude (but accurate) answer is necessary. 3. What is the scale of measurement for the variable “year of birth”?

Suppose we know that the average height of Americans is 176cm with standard deviation of 6cm; and that the average height of Australians is 181cm with standard deviation of 8cm. Suppose in a room there are two individuals, who happen to be from the same country. We cannot hear their accents (so cannot guess in that way whether they are Americans or Australians), but we know these individuals’ heights, which are 178cm and 180cm. Assume that heights are normally distributed....

I do not know why I keep getting this question wrong, I triple checked my work! A distribution of values is normal with a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 18. From this distribution, you are drawing samples of size 23. Find the interval containing the middle-most 40% of sample means: ANSWER HERE Enter your answer using interval notation. In this context, either inclusive or exclusive intervals would be acceptable. Your numbers should be accurate to 1 decimal...
