At Burnt Mesa Pueblo, archaeological studies have used the method of tree-ring dating in an effort to determine when prehistoric people lived in the pueblo. Wood from several excavations gave a mean of (year) 1238 with a standard deviation of 33 years. The distribution of dates was more or less mound-shaped and symmetric about the mean. Use the empirical rule to estimate the following.
(a) a range of years centered about the mean in which about 68%
of the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A.D.
(b) a range of years centered about the mean in which about 95% of
the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A.D.
(c) a range of years centered about the mean in which almost all
the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A.D.

Suppose that the national average for the math portion of the College Board's SAT is 538. The College Board periodically rescales the test scores such that the standard deviation is approximately 100. Answer the following questions using a bell-shaped distribution and the empirical rule for the math test scores.
If required, round your answers to two decimal places.
| (a) | What percentage of students have an SAT math score greater than 638? |
| % | |
| (b) | What percentage of students have an SAT math score greater than 738? |
| % | |
| (c) | What percentage of students have an SAT math score between 438 and 538? |
| % | |
| (d) | What is the z-score for student with an SAT math score of 620? |
| (e) | What is the z-score for a student with an SAT math score of 405? |

4. The following data set represent the percentage of gold from two different
locations:
Location A
| 23.6 | 22.4 | 18.9 | 29.8 | 22.7 | 25.4 | 17.5 | 14.2 | 29.4 | 26.1 | 24.1 | 22.3 |
Location B
5.0 6.1 2.3 2.1 7.8 9.2 4.1 2.5 4.2 9.9 1.0 1.2
b) Now consider the two locations as a single data set. What are the mean and the standard deviation of the gold percentage for this data set?
c) Using the empirical rule, determine what range of values captures the middle 68% of the data for the combined data set. Give the lower and upper limit of this range.
d) What is the actual percentage of data points that falls between these two values? Why is it different from your answer of part c?

In a certain article, laser therapy was discussed as a useful alternative to drugs in pain management of chronically ill patients. To measure pain threshold, a machine was used that delivered low-voltage direct current to different parts of the body (wrist, neck, and back). The machine measured current in milliamperes (mA). The pretreatment experimental group in the study had an average threshold of pain (pain was first detectable) at μ = 3.02 mA with standard deviation σ = 1.29 mA. Assume that the distribution of threshold pain, measured in milliamperes, is symmetrical and more or less mound-shaped. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
(a) Use the empirical rule to estimate a range of milliamperes centered about the mean in which about 68% of the experimental group will have a threshold of pain from mA to mA

1.) In a recent survey,66% of the community favored building a police substation in their neighborhood. If 14 citizens are chosen, find the probability that exactly 5 of them favor the building of the police substation. Round the answer to the nearest thousandth.
a.) .357
b.) .660
c.) .015
d.) .216
2.) A coin is tossed. Find the probability that the result is heads.
a.) .5
b.) .1
c.) 1
d.) .9
3.) The mean SAT verbal score is 464 with a standard deviation of 90. Use the empirical rule to determine what percent of the scores lie between 284 and 554. Assume the data set has a bell-shaped distribution.
a.) 68%
b.) 83.9%
c.) 34%
d.) 81.5%
Please answer all three questions! Thank you!

At Burnt Mesa Pueblo, archaeological studies have used the method of tree-ring dating in an effort to determine when prehistoric people lived in the pueblo. Wood from several excavations gave a mean of (year) 1249 with a standard deviation of 32 years. The distribution of dates was more or less mound-shaped and symmetric about the mean. Use the empirical rule to estimate the following.
(a) a range of years centered about the mean in which about 68% of the data (tree-ring dates) will be found between and A.D.
(b) a range of years centered about the mean in which about 95% of the data (tree-ring dates) will be found between and A.D.
(c) a range of years centered about the mean in which almost all the data (tree-ring dates) will be found between and A.D.
