Question
Kelly Bell gets quiz grades of 65, 83, 80, and 90. She gets a 92 on her final exam. Find the weighted mean if the quizzes each count for 15% and the final counts for 40% of the final grade. If the heights of women have a mean of 63.6 in. and a standard deviation of 2.5 in., what can you conclude from the Chebyshev's theorem about the percentage of women between 58.6 in. and 68.6 in.? (Answer: Percentage is at least 75%.) Transforming Data In each of the following, describe how the range and standard deviation of a data set are affected. a. The same constant k is added to each value of the data set. b. Each value of the data set is multiplied by the same constant k.Explanation / Answer
I will answer first question as per chegg guideline :
1)
Weighted mean is calculated using the weighted average of grades. So, the
weighted mean = 65*0.15+83*.15+80*.15+90*.15+92*.4 = 84.5
2)
The given data is 2 SD from the mean, so plug in k=2 in 1-1/k² to obtain
1- 1/2² = 1 -1/4 = 3/4 = 75%
So, at least 75%
