The mean of a set of data is 4.68 and its standard deviation is 2.83. Find the z score for a value of 9.38. a.1.83 b.1.49 c.1.66 d.1.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Mean = 4.68

Standard Deviation (SD) = 2.83

Value, x = 9.38

Required

Determine the z score

z score is calculated using the following formula;

Substitute 9.38 for x; 2.83 for SD and 4.68 for Mean

(Approximated)

Hence, the z score is 1.66

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
