Read the information below and answer the questions. Suppose a researcher wants to learn more about the mean attention span of individuals in some hypothetical population. The researcher cites that the attention span (the time in minutes attending to some task) in this population is normally distributed with the following characteristics: 20 36 . Based on the parameters given in this example, answer the following questions: 1. What is the population mean (μ)?

The population mean (μ) = 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

The population characteristics = 20 and 36

Total population of interest = 56 (20 + 36)

Number of groups in the population = 2

Therefore, the population mean (μ) = 56/2 = 28

b) Based on the parameters given in this example, the population mean equals the average of the group characteristic (attention span of individuals in minutes) or item of interest.  The population mean is calculated by adding the values of the group characteristic and then dividing the result by the number of values.

i think the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

not 100% sure though.

c > -10.55
