What does the mean measure?
What does the standard deviation measure?
The mean of a data set is 17 and the standard deviation is 1.2.
What is the z-score of a data value of 15, to the nearest hundredth?
The mean of a data set is 7 and the standard deviation is 0.5.
If a data value has a z-score of 2, what is the data value?
Ben calculated the mean and standard deviation of a certain data set, then found the z-score for a certain data value.
He then checked his work and realized that the true standard deviation for the data was much larger than he originally calculated.
If he recalculates the z-score for the same data value using the new, larger standard deviation, how will the new z-score compare with the old one?
Review (check out HW1):
What is one trait that both sample surveys and observational studies have in common, that experiments do not?
Review:
What makes sample surveys different from experiments and observational studies?
Review
A researcher studies differences in career paths between men and women. He collects data from colleges on how many men and women are in each major.
What type ofstudy is this?
