For the graph I just know like the center would be 21, and the one thingy would be 5.2

AZ:

Hmm how much do you know about standard deviation? |dw:1620590411828:dw|

AZ:

1 standard deviation above and below represents 68% of the values 2 would include 95% of the data 3 standard deviations includes 99.7% of the data

snowflake0531:

okay so then how do i get the points of inflections-

snowflake0531:

and yea, I did take notes on the 68 95 99 thing but I just don't get how to use it

AZ:

so it's just going to be the mean + 1 SD the mean - 1 SD the mean + 2 SD the mean - 2 SD the mean + 3 SD the mean - 3 SD 21 + 5.2 21 - 5.2 21 + (2*5.2) 21 - (2*5.2) 21 + (3*5.2) 21 - (3*5.2)

snowflake0531:

oh, kay o-o

AZ:

those are just going to be your x-values

AZ:

when you get to calculus, you'll learn about how to find inflection points basically when the second derivative = 0

snowflake0531:

oh, kay e.e lol

AZ:

wait actually I don't think it would include the second and third SD it should just be the first SD

snowflake0531:

and so for A it would be 50% since 21 divides it in half how about for b tho- there's 15.8, should i just do that? 50 + 34?

AZ:

the concept of inflection is that the graph changes from concave to convex or vice versa

Probably a better image

snowflake0531:

o-o

AZ:

But the concept of inflection in general

AZ:

if it doesn't make any sense, don't worry about it lolol Just the mean + 1 SD the mean - 1 SD 21 + 5.2 21 - 5.2

yup and yup you got it :)

snowflake0531:

for c 13.5+68 = 81.5?

AZ:

where did you get 13.5 from 21 + 5.2 = 26.2 21 - 5.2 = 15.8 so from 16 to 26 is 1 standard deviation which is how much

snowflake0531:

but it's from 11 o-o

snowflake0531:

which is minus 2 sd to positive sd o-O

AZ:

ohhhh you're right
