Hi, I'm hoping all is well. I'm late in my Statistics I assignments... way behind and also I'm scared and terrified of Mathematics. I have attached pdfs with questions highlighted and circled. I have 7 more attachments, what is your recommendation-to keep sending them 2 at a time? Thank for your help and have a great day! Joseph.

a. Compute the mean, variance, and standard devia-
tion for each group.
b. Is one group of scores noticeably more variable
(more diverse) than the other?
22. Wegesin and Stern (2004) found greater consistency
(less variability) in the memory performance scores
for younger women than for older women. The
following data represent memory scores obtained
for two women, one older and one younger, over a
series of memory trials.
a. Calculate the variance of the scores for each
woman.
b. Are the scores for the younger woman more
consistent (less variable)?
20.

a. Would a score of X
70 be considered
value (out in the tail) in this sample?
b. If the standard deviation were o = 5, would a
score of X = 70 be considered an extreme value?

24. On an exam with a mean of M 78, you obtain a
score of X = 84.
a. Would you prefer a standard deviation of s
=
2 or
S =
10? (Hint: Sketch each distribution and find
the location of your score.)
b. If your score were X = 72, would you prefer s = 2
