Drew likes to take the long way to school each morning. He walks 3 blocks west
and then 3 blocks north to arrive at the school. Today he is running late and
decides go directly to school to save time. (Assume there is nothing obstructing
his path.) If one block is 310 feet, how many feet will he travel if he goes directly
to school? Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.

The distribution of the amount of money spent by students for textbooks in a semester is approximately normal in shape with a mean of $235 and a standard deviation of $20. according to the standard deviation rule, how much did almost all (99.7%) of the students spend on textbooks in a semester?

Apiling for a high-rise building is pushed by two bulldozers at exactly the same time. one bulldozer exerts a force of 1250 pounds in a westerly direction. the other bulldozer pushes the piling with a force of 2650 pounds in a northerly direction. what is the direction of the resulting force upon the piling, to the nearest degree? a. 65 n of w b. 25 n of w c. 45 n of w d. 35 n of w

Each of the following data sets has a mean of x = 10. (i) 8 9 10 11 12 (ii) 7 9 10 11 13 (iii) 7 8 10 12 13 (a) without doing any computations, order the data sets according to increasing value of standard deviations. (i), (iii), (ii) (ii), (i), (iii) (iii), (i), (ii) (iii), (ii), (i) (i), (ii), (iii) (ii), (iii), (i) (b) why do you expect the difference in standard deviations between data sets (i) and (ii) to be greater than the difference in standard deviations between data sets (ii) and (iii)? hint: consider how much the data in the respective sets differ from the mean. the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). the data change between data sets (ii) and (iii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (i) and (ii). the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) decreased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). none of the above
