Algebra.Com's Answer #810687 by Boreal(15235) You can put this solution on YOUR website! The first interval would be z=+/-1.96*sigma, to 1.96*8=15.68 \n" ); document.write( "This is +/- 15.68 or (56.32, 87.68) some weight units, prob kg. \n" ); document.write( "- \n" ); document.write( "The second one would be +/-3 sd or +/- 24 , so the interval would be (48, 96) \n" ); document.write( "- \n" ); document.write( "The third would be +/- 0.674*8 (the 25th percentile is z=-0.674 and the 75th is z=+0.674) \n" ); document.write( "+/-5.39 \n" ); document.write( "(66.61, 77.39)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
