(Solved) MATH225 Week 5 Assignment Lab

Use the Weeks 3 and 5 spreadsheets to help you answer the questions below.

Step 1: Survey or measure 10 people to find their heights. Determine the mean and standard deviation for this group by using the Week 3 Excel spreadsheet. Post a screen shot of the portion of the spreadsheet that helped you determine these values. How does your height compare to the mean (average) height of the group that you surveyed? Is your height taller, shorter, or the same as the mean of your group?

Step 2: Give some background information on the group of people you used in your study. You might consider using the following questions to guide your answer.

1. How did you choose the participants for your study (sampling method)?
2. What part of the country did your study take place in?
3. What are the age ranges of your participants?
4. How many of each gender did you have in your study?
5. What are other interesting factors about your group?

Step 3: Use the Week 5 Excel spreadsheet for the following.

1. (Use the Empirical Rule tab from the spreadsheet). Determine the 68%, 95%, and 99.7% values of the Empirical Rule in terms of the ten heights in your height study.
2. What do these values tell you?
3. Post a screen shot of your work from the Week 5 Excel spreadsheet.
   

   

4. (Use the normal probability tab from the spreadsheet). Based on your study results, what percent of the study participants are shorter than you? What percent are taller than you?
5. Post a screen shot of your work from the Week 5 Excel spreadsheet.Example: If my height is 73 inches, then 20.86% of the relevant population is shorter. The other 79.14%, of course, is taller.

Step 4: Be sure your name is on the Word document, save it, and then submit it under “Assignments” and “Week 5: Lab”.

Heights of Ten People in centimeters (cm)

171

182.5

166

172

173.5

159

187

174

180

156

Mean = 172.1

Standard deviation= 9.8172

My height is 172 cm which means that I am almost equal albeit slight shorter to the mean of the sampled group (172.1).

Background Information

I used random sampling where I identified 10 adults in my neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio. The youngest participant was 19 years old while the oldest was 57 years, with most participants being in their twenties and thirties. Additionally…………………………..
