A researcher wanted to see if giving a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (anti-depressant) would decrease the number of self-injurious behaviors (SIB’s) found in adolescents. They gave the anti-depressant to a group of 8 participants and counted the numbers of SIBs a person performed for a month after taking the drug for 6 months. Here are the number of SIB’S performed by the 8 people, 27, 25, 32, 40, 43, 37, 35, 38. a. Find the mean variance, and standard deviation of this group.
b. Suppose the u=45, what is the z score?
c. What is the SEM for this particular group?

a. The mean of the sample is M=35.

The variance of the sample is s^2=39.125.

The standard deviation of the sample is s=6.255.

b. z=-1.6

c. SEM = 2.212

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of the sample is M=35.

The variance of the sample is s^2=39.125.

The standard deviation of the sample is s=6.255.

b. If the population mean is 45, the z-score for M=35 would be:

c. The standard error of the mean (SEM) of this group is calculated as:

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
