Research on brain specimens. Refer to the Brain and Language data on postmortem intervals (PMIs) of 22human brain specimens, presented in Exercise. The data are saved in the BRAINPMI file. The meanand standard deviation of the PMI values are 7.3 and 3.18,respectively.
a. Find the z -score for the PMI value of 3.3.
b. Is the PMI value of 3.3 considered an outlier? Explain.
Research on brain specimens. The postmortem interval (PMI) is defined as the time elapsed (in days) between deathand an autopsy. Knowledge of the PMI is considered essentialto conducting medical research on human cadavers. Thedata in the accompanying table are the PMIs of 22 humanbrain specimens obtained at autopsy in a recent study (Brain and Language , June 1995). Describe the PMI data graphicallywith a dot plot. On the basis of the plot, make a summarystatement about the PMIs of the 22 human brain specimens.(The data are saved in the BRAINPMI file.)
