@jim_thompson5910 @Compassionate @Kainui

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

where are you stuck?

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

i havent started @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you're not sure what \(\Large \bar{x}\) means ?

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

im not sure how to do anything... this is a summer class i havent learned anything from this...this is a class to get a credit @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large \bar{x}\] means xbar, this is the sample mean

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you add up all the numbers in the sample and then divide by the number of numbers

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you have to first go through the graph given to you and pull out all of the data values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Each one of the dots represents an amount of numbers in the set. So if a 60 had 2 dots on it, you would have 2 60's in the sequence. (60, 60, ... ) so continue doing that for all the numbers

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

is number 1 80? @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you're asking about the sample mean being 80? or something else?

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

im asking is number 1 80 or 191.47619 @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the mean isn't either of those values

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

well can u help @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

did you get these values 60,61,63,65,68,68,68,69,69,70,70,72,74,76,76,76,78,79,80,80,80,80,82,82,82,82,84,85,85,86,86,86,87,88,89,90,90,90,90,90,92,92,92,92,95,95,95,98,99,100 ??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

there are 50 numbers in that list above (each one pulled from each dot)

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

yes

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

80.42 @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

when you added all of the 50 numbers up, what did you get?

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

4021 @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you made an error, it should be larger than 4021

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

4176 and when divided by 50 i got 83.52 @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

4176 is too high

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

thats wat i keep getting @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

60+61+63+65+68+68+68+69+69+70+70+72+74+76+76+76+78+79+80+80+80+80+82+82+82+82+84+85+85+86+86+86+87+88+89+90+90+90+90+90+92+92+92+92+95+95+95+98+99+100 = 4,086

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

so 81.72 @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes that is xbar

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

ok wat about number 2 @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

use something like this https://www.easycalculation.com/statistics/standard-deviation.php

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

type in all the numbers separated by commas

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

ok i did now wat am i looking for in number 2 @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do you see where it says Standard deviation 10.47259

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

yes @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

thats the answer to 2

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

3 4 and 5 @jim_thompson5910 wat i do

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

xbar will be used in place of \(\Large \mu\) the standard deviation is \(\Large \sigma\)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what you need to do is compute 81.72 - k*10.47259 for k = 1, k = 2, and k = 3 also compute 81.72 + k*10.47259 for k = 1, k = 2, and k = 3
