The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics collects data on cigarette smokers by sex and age and publishes the results in Vital and Health Statistics.
Suppose that a sample of 2760 females who presently smoke has a mean of 40.6 years and a standard deviation of 10.2 years.
Calculate the age value that is 1.90 standard deviations below the mean.
That point has a z-value of -1.90
Find the corresponding x-value:
x = z*s + u
x = -1.90*10.2+40.6
x = 21.22
-------------------
The age value that is 1.90 standard deviations below the mean is?
Ans: 21.22
Round up 22 yrs of age
