3.17 scores on stats final. below are final exam scores of 20 introductory statistics students. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 57, 66, 69, 71, 72, 73, 74, 77, 78, 78, 79, 79, 81, 81, 82, 83, 83, 88, 89, 94 (a) the mean score is 77.7 points. with a standard deviation of 8.44 points. use this information to determine if the scores approximately follow the 68-95-99.7% rule. (b) do these data appear to follow a normal distribution? explain your reasoning using the graphs provided below.

Adecibel is a logarithmic unit that can be used to measure the intensity of a sound. the function y = 10logx gives the intensity of a sound in decibels, where x is the ratio of the intensity of the sound to a reference intensity. the reference intensity is generally set at the threshold of hearing. use the graphing utility to graph the decibel function. a whisper has a sound intensity of 30 decibels. use your graph to you complete the following statement. the sound intensity of a whisper is times the reference intensity.

Which of the following parabolas opens down?
