The complete list of 50 data speeds has a mean of x = 18.55 Mbps and a standard deviation of s=31.38 Mbps. a. What is the difference between carrier's highest data speed and the mean of all 50 data speeds? b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]? c. Convert the carrier's highest data speed to a z score. d. If we consider data speeds that convert to z scores between 2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the carrier's highest data speed significant? a. The difference is Mbps.
