Problem # 72 Gage is training for a mini
marathon (13 miles). He wants
to run on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
The first day (a Monday) he will
run 1 mile. If he adds a half mile
to his run each time that he
runs, in how many weeks will he
be trained to run 13 miles?

The median of a data set is the measure of center that is found by adding the data values and dividing the total by the number of data values that is the value that occurs with the greatest frequency that is the value midway between the maximum and minimum values in the original data set that is the middle value when the original data values are arranged in order of increasing (or decreasing) magnitude

Monitors manufactured by tsi electronics have life spans that have a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 1800 hours and a mean life span of 20,000 hours. if a monitor is selected at random, find the probability that the life span of the monitor will be more than 17,659 hours. round your answer to four decimal places.

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
