## Student learning outcomes:

• The student will compare empirical data and a theoretical distribution to determine if data from the experiment follow a continuous distribution.

## Collect the data

Measure the length of your pinkie finger (in cm.)

1. Randomly survey 30 adults. Round to the nearest 0.5 cm.
 _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______
2. Construct a histogram. Make 5-6 intervals. Sketch the graph using a ruler and pencil. Scale the axes.
3. Calculate the Following
• $\overline{x}=$
• $s=$
4. Draw a smooth curve through the top of the bars of the histogram. Use 1-2 complete sentences to describe the general shape of the curve. (Keep it simple. Does the graph go straight across, does it have a V-shape, does it have a hump in the middle or at either end, etc.?)

## Analyze the distribution

Using your sample mean, sample standard deviation, and histogram to help, what was the approximate theoretical distribution of the data from the section titled "Collect the Data"?

• $X$ ~
• How does the histogram help you arrive at the approximate distribution?

## Describe the data

Using the data in the section titled "Collect the Data" complete the following statements. (Hint: order the data)

$\left(\mathrm{IQR}=Q3-Q1\right)$
• IQR =
• 15th percentile is:
• 85th percentile is:
• Median is:
• What is the empirical probability that a randomly chosen pinkie length is more than 6.5 cm?
• Explain the meaning the 85th percentile of this data.

## Theoretical distribution

Using the Theoretical Distribution in the section titled "Analyze the Distribution"

• IQR =
• 15th percentile is:
• 85th percentile is:
• Median is:
• What is the theoretical probability that a randomly chosen pinkie length is more than 6.5 cm?
• Explain the meaning of the 85th percentile of this data.

## Discussion questions

• Do the data from the section entitled "Collect the Data" give a close approximation to the theoretical distribution in "Analyze the Distribution."In complete sentences and comparing the results in the sections titled "Describe the Data" and "Theoretical Distribution", explain why or why not.

Application of nanotechnology in medicine
what is variations in raman spectra for nanomaterials
I only see partial conversation and what's the question here!
what about nanotechnology for water purification
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
yes that's correct
Professor
I think
Professor
what is the stm
is there industrial application of fullrenes. What is the method to prepare fullrene on large scale.?
Rafiq
industrial application...? mmm I think on the medical side as drug carrier, but you should go deeper on your research, I may be wrong
Damian
How we are making nano material?
what is a peer
What is meant by 'nano scale'?
What is STMs full form?
LITNING
scanning tunneling microscope
Sahil
how nano science is used for hydrophobicity
Santosh
Do u think that Graphene and Fullrene fiber can be used to make Air Plane body structure the lightest and strongest. Rafiq
Rafiq
what is differents between GO and RGO?
Mahi
what is simplest way to understand the applications of nano robots used to detect the cancer affected cell of human body.? How this robot is carried to required site of body cell.? what will be the carrier material and how can be detected that correct delivery of drug is done Rafiq
Rafiq
if virus is killing to make ARTIFICIAL DNA OF GRAPHENE FOR KILLED THE VIRUS .THIS IS OUR ASSUMPTION
Anam
analytical skills graphene is prepared to kill any type viruses .
Anam
what is Nano technology ?
write examples of Nano molecule?
Bob
The nanotechnology is as new science, to scale nanometric
brayan
nanotechnology is the study, desing, synthesis, manipulation and application of materials and functional systems through control of matter at nanoscale
Damian
Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?
research.net
kanaga
sciencedirect big data base
Ernesto
Introduction about quantum dots in nanotechnology
hi
Loga
what does nano mean?
nano basically means 10^(-9). nanometer is a unit to measure length.

1 It is estimated that 30% of all drivers have some kind of medical aid in South Africa. What is the probability that in a sample of 10 drivers: 3.1.1 Exactly 4 will have a medical aid. (8) 3.1.2 At least 2 will have a medical aid. (8) 3.1.3 More than 9 will have a medical aid.
