Question
The average length of time required to complete a college achievement test is approximately normal with a mean of 75 minutes and a standard deviation of 13 minutes. When should the test be terminated (in minutes) if you wish to allow sufficient time for 80% of the students to complete the test? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:_______________min

- The authors of the paper "Evaluating Existing Movement Hypotheses in Linear Systems Using Larval Stream Salamanders"+ investigated whether water temperature was related to how far a salamander would swim and whether it would swim upstream or downstream. Data for 14 streams with different mean water temperatures where salamander larvae were released are given (approximated from a graph that appeared in the paper). The two variables of interest are x = mean water temperature (°C) and y = net directionality, which was defined as the difference in the relative frequency of the released salamander larvae moving upstream and the relative frequency of released salamander larvae moving downstream. A positive value of net directionality means a higher proportion were moving upstream than downstream. A negative value of net directionality means a higher proportion were moving downstream than upstream. Mean Temperature (x) Net Directionality (y) 6.17 -0.08 8.06 0.25 8.62 -0.14 10.56 0.00 12.45…arrow_forwardSolve this for mearrow_forwardPrevious Question Find the area of the shaded region.

You find a regression equation and the standard deviation for both variables. The standard deviation for x is 1.12, and the standard deviation for y is 4.12. The regression equation is reported as y=-4.7 +1.41x What fraction of the variation in y can be explained by the variation in the values of x?

- IQ tests supposedly measure our intelligence. They typically are ‘normed’ so that they have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. (Higher scores show higher intelligence.) Use the graph and use the z-score and percents from columns b and c in Table A, when relevant. If you scored 132, what is your z-score? (Interpret.)
