Susan is 66 inches tall. The average height of women is 63.7 inches with a standard deviation of 1.75. How does Susan compare to the mean (how many SD above or below the mean is she)? Write an example of the average distance that the individual values of a problem vary from the mean in context.

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given that :

Mean height of women = 63.7 inches

Susan's height = 66 inches standard deviation = 1.75 inches

Number of standard deviations above or below the mean:

Zscore = (Susan's height - mean height) standard deviation

Zscore = (66 - 63.7) / 1.75

Zscore = 2.3 / 1.75

Zscore = 1.314

Meaning Susan's height is 1.314 standard deviations above the mean height of women.

To evaluate the average distance by which individual values vary from the mean. Use the relation:

[The value (X) - mean value (m)] / standard deviation

i do agree with robert moses’ statements about wiping out cities that are an “impediment to new growth”. in order to have a positive community, the city must continue to grow either in terms of size or economics. therefore wiping out cities that restrict growth benefits the overall society and all the people living in it. similar to a social contract, i believe that if a person was to live in a community they must sacrifice some of their rights, in this case property, for the overall good of the people. as long as these people living in the cities are reimbursed and the purpose of wiping out the cities is to serve the public, there is no problem with robert moses’ core idea.
