A teacher calculates for the test grades in
Class A, mean = 32 and sd = 4
Class B, mean = 32 and sd = 8
a. If the teacher was going to guess what any student in his/her class would earn, what is the best score
to guess?
b. Which of the classes has more consistency in their scores? Why?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. best score to guess would be 33

b. Standard deviation simplifies the square root of the mean so makes it closer to 1 has more consistency as the mean of 32 when squared is sqrt 32  is Class A as class a = 4 and is closer to 5.65685425

as 5.65685425^2 = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are comparing two normally-distributed variables on the same measurement scale then yes, you can regard the standard deviation as an indicator of how reliable the mean is--the smaller the standard deviation, the better able you are to "zero in" on the actual population mean.

a. proofs;

We find  32/6 = 5.333 and 32/5 = 6.4 and 6.4 is closer to both sd 4 and 8 than 5.33 is. As 6.4 it is closer to 6

But when we use 33/6 = 5.5 and therefore shows close range 6

therefore the two sd  proves it is slightly high 32 score average for both classes A + B when joined and high 32 = 33 mean when classes A+B are joined or you could say 32/8 = 4 is class B becomes lower tests scores as 32/4 = 8 of class A that has higher test scores.

In this exercise we have to use probability and statistics to organize the students' grades, so we have:

A) best score is  33

B) Class A

In the first part of the exercise we have to analyze the grades of each class, like this:

A)Class A: 32/4

Class B: 32/8

Dividing each of them we have:

[tex]32/4=8 \\32/8=4[/tex]

B) With the information given above, we can say that the best class is A.
