A sample of fifth-grade classes was studied in an article. One of the variables collected was the class size in terms of student-to-faculty ratio. The student-to-faculty ratios of the 70 fifth-grade classes sampled have a mean of 17.33 and a standard deviation of 2.36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Sample mean x_bar = 17.33

- Sample mean s.d = 2.36

Find:

x_bar - 3s

x_bar + s

x_bar - 2s

x_bar + 2s

x_bar + 3s

Apply Property 1 of the empirical rule to make pertinent statements about the observations in the sample At least 8 out of 70 fifth-grade classes sampled have student-to-faculty ratios between 15.36 and 17.86

Apply Property 2 of the empirical rule to make pertinent statements about the observations in the sample. At least out of 70 fifth-grade classes sampled have student-to-faculty ratios between and Type integers or decimals.

Solution:

part a)

                 x_bar - 3s  = 17.33 - 3*2.36 = 10.25

                 x_bar - 2s  = 17.33 - 2*2.36 = 12.61

                 x_bar - s  = 17.33 - 2.36 = 14.97

                 x_bar + 3s  = 17.33 + 3*2.36 = 24.41

                 x_bar + 2s  = 17.33 + 2*2.36 = 22.05

                 x_bar + s  = 17.33 + 2.36 = 19.69

part b)

- The first property of empirical rule states that the probability of score between 1 standard deviation from the mean is 68 %. Hence,

                 P ( x_bar - s.d < x < x_bar + s.d ) = 0.68

                 P ( 14.97 < x < 19.69 ) = 0.68

part c)

- The first property of empirical rule states that the probability of score between 2 standard deviation from the mean is 95 %. Hence,

                 P ( x_bar - 2*s.d < x < x_bar + 2*s.d ) = 0.95

                P ( 12.61 < x < 22.05 ) = 0.95

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
