Given a normal distribution of data, we know from the Empirical Rule that in between 2 standard deviations from the mean (i.e. xbar - 2s..to..xbar + 2s) there lies about 95% of all the data. Calculate and show the percentage of data from xbar - 2s..to..xbar + 2s using Chebyshev's theorem. Now, if I told you that a cer

Give a brief description of the variable and whether the scale of measurement is nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio, and why. The Measurement Principles Nominal : People or objects with the same scale value are the same on some attribute. The values of the scale have no 'numeric' meaning in the way that you usually think
Give a brief description of the variable and whether the scale of measurement is nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio, and why. Explain what it means to say that this variable is "normally distributed." Then, define probability value and explain how a probability value of .05 in this example is related to the normal curve.

Grades on a midterm exam in a large biochemistry class are normally distributed with a mean of 75 and standard deviation of 9. The instructor wants to assign an A grade to the top 10% of scores, a B grade to the next 10%, and so on, with an F grade to all scores below the 60th percentile. For each letter grade, find the minimu
I would like to have an Excel file (that is: MyChart.xls) that will chart a Gaussian curve for me (a 'normal bell curve'). I would like the various parameters that affect the shape of the curve "separated out" (that is, put in separte cells) so I can independently change them...so I can easily see the effect on the chart.
