Good Morning!!! I need help me with 2 out of 3 Statistic questions... I will appreciate, thanks. :))

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it would be useful to us if we could know what the questions are; in order to determine if we are capable of helping out

Sorry, I thought that I attached the question..

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you got a ti83? or other statistic calcultor/program?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or are you expected to utilize z tables?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Noo,they won't allow me to use. I have the Ti30x

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then you this requires being able to interpret a ztable; and different authors use different setups which makes explaining it a little tough

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i believe the only difference between a and b is the b is multiplied by sqrt(n); where n is 30 in this case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I have to use the z table. I know how to do the first part.. but the second which is b) not sure what I am doing wrong..

OpenStudy (amistre64):

part a:\[z=\frac{x-mean}{sd}\] part b:\[z=\frac{x-mean}{sd}*\sqrt n\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on let me see if I get it... Please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, question. What happen if I got 7.41, How do I look I the table??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

depends on the table :) can you show me a picture of the ztable you are working with?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

there should be a left side and a top side the left side should read 7.4; and the top side .01 and where they intersect gives an area; and that area is what is different due to different authros some read it from the mean, others from the left side

OpenStudy (amistre64):

everything zscore over 3.9 from the mean can be approximated as .5000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try this pages 5 and 6.. http://mathematics.gulfcoast.edu/Courses/STA2023/Stat.TablesandFormulas.PDF

OpenStudy (amistre64):

ok, your tables measure everything from the left end; so you need the "3.9 and over" value: 9999 and subtract the -1.81 value to get the area inbetween them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, I should look the -1.81 at the table??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

7.41 is greater than 3.9; so everything above 3.9 is equal to .9999 |dw:1351864810002:dw|
