OpenStudy (campbell_st):

(a) is asking for the most frequent.... or the mode (b) is looking at the day between the quartiles.... if quartiles divide a data set into 4 equal parts what percentage of the data lies between Q1 and Q3? Once you know that you can use that information to find the number .... %*150 = (c) requires you so show the values 3 standard deviations above the mean and 3 below. You need to know the percentage for a normal distribution that these limits represent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a) that's what I thought b)what percentage of the data lies between Q1 and Q3= 50% right

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

thats correct... so find 50% of the number of scores.... which is 150

OpenStudy (anonymous):

75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we know that 99.7 % of data lie between 3sd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c) I got 149.55

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well remember its \[mean \pm \sigma\] which is \[95 \pm 3 \times 12\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah I got that 59------131

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

yep... thats it

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

but you need to find 150 * 99.7% =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am little bit confused, are those numbers ( 95, 97, 99 etc) days or number of paying customers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

150 * 99.7% =149.55

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so you need to say that 3sd of the mean gives the range 59 - 131... which is 99.7% of all scores.. then 99.7% of 150 = .... to support your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should I round it..

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well I would

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are those numbers ( 95, 97, 99 etc) days or number of paying customers?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

but include the decimal in your calculations... then your rounded... answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it..

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

they are the number of paying customers.... during the noon hour... over 150 days... so the set has 150 scores.... of the number of people shopping ...during a set time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, you mean data could possibly be say, 1st day 20 people pay 2nd day 87, 3->99, 4->150, ......150->3. but mode is 99, most of the these 150 days, 99 people pay.. average # people is 95.. right..
