A set of scores ranges from a high of x=24 to a low of x=12 and has a mean of 18. Which of the following is the most likely value for the standard deviation for these scores? Please show work. (The answer is 3 points, but I don't understand why.)
a. 3 points
b. 6 points
c. 12 points
d. 24 points
Using the thumb rule for calculating the standard deviation
std. dev. = (max - min)/4
std. dev. = (24 - 12)/4 = 3
Hence, answer is 3 points
A set of scores ranges from a high of X= 24 to a low of X=12 and has a mean of 18. Which of the following is the most likely value for the standard deviation for these scores? a. 3 points b. 6 points c. 12 points d. 24 points
Consider a value to be significantly low if it's z score less than or equal to -2 or consider a value to be significantally high if it's z score is greater than or equal to 2. A test is used to assess readiness for college. In recent year, the mean test score was 22.8 and the standard deviation was 5.3. Identify the test scores that are significantly low or significantly high. What test scores are significantly low? What test scores are significantly high? (Please...
A data set lists full IQ scores for a random sample of subjects with low lead levels in their blood and another random sample of subjects with high lead levels in their blood. The statistics are summarized below. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean IQ score of people with low lead levels is higher than the mean IQ score of people with high lead levels. Low Blood Lead Level: n = 77 x =...
b) (6 points) Student scores from a high school on an IQ test are normally distributed with a mean 100 and standard deviation of 15. What score is exceeded by 10% of IQ test scores?
IQ-scores are standard-score transformed scores having a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15; SAT scores are standard-score transformed scores having a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. In what follows, X refers to a raw score from a distribution with a mean of X and a standard deviation of S, and SAT and IQ refer to the corresponding transform of that score. Solve for the missing value in each of the following: (a) X=-2.5;Xmean=...
question 4 1. A distribution has a standard deviation of a = 12 points. Find the 2-score for each of the following locations in a distribution by sketching a distribution (do not use an equation). (4 points) a. Above the mean by 4 points b. Below the mean by 6 points c. Below the mean by 18 points 2. A distribution has a standard deviation of a = 5 and u = 30. Find the score for each of the...
4. (10 points) The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) test scores x are normally distributed this year. The mean test score is 200 and the standard deviation is 10. Random test scores samples of size 30 are drawn. (a.) Calculate the mean and standard deviation of sampling distribution of sample means. Show all work. o mean = standard deviation = isiq Sabit to o lodowa (b.) Find the probability that the mean of a sample is less that 180. Show all...
QUESTION 12 One sample with n = 6 scores has a mean of ΣX = 18, and a second sample with n = 6 scores has a mean ofΣX = 6. If the two samples are combined, what is the weighted mean for the two sets of scores? A. 6 B. 18 C. 2 D. 4 PLEASE SHOW WORK
C. Test scores that are greater than (Round to one decimal place as needed.) X-12 7. Consider a value to be significantly low if its z score less than or equal to 2 or consider a value to be significantly high if its z score is greater than or equal to 2 A data set lists weights (grams) of a type of coin. Those weights have a mean of 5.46596 g and a standard devi 0.06162 g. Identify the weights...
Aptitude tests should produce scores with a large amount of variation so that the administrator can distinguish between persons with low aptitude and persons with high aptitude. The standard test used by a certain industry has been producing scores with a standard deviation of 5 points. A new test is tried on 20 prospective employees and produce a sample standard deviation of 8 points. Are scores from the new test significantly more variable than scores from the standard? (Use alpha...
