Question:

Refer to Exercise 21. Suppose that the corrected long-jump distances are converted from centimeters to meters (note that 100 cm =1 m ).
a. What shape would the resulting distribution have? Explain your answer.

b. Find the mean of the distribution of corrected long-jump distance in meters.

c. Find the standard deviation of the distribution of corrected longjump distance in meters.


Exercise 21.

A member of a track team was practicing the long jump and recorded the distances (in centimeters) shown in the dotplot. Some numerical summaries of the data are also provided.

565 570 575 580 585 Long-jump distance (cm) n Mean SD Min 04 Med 3 Max 40 577.3 4.713 564 574.5 577 581.5 586
