Stat Sample Covariance

The document contains information about a normal distribution. It states that: 1) The required amounts are between 2.80 and 19.20 based on calculations involving the mean (8) and standard deviation (2.75) of the normal distribution. 2) The percentage of values within 1 standard deviation of the mean is 75% and within 2 standard deviations is 89% for a normal distribution. 3) There is a calculation of covariance (133.3333333) and coefficient of correlation (0.839128598) between calories and sugar values in a dataset.

D.) - 1/k2 = 0.

or, 1 - 0.9375 = 1/k2
or, 0.0625 = 1/k2
or, k2 = 1/0.0625
or, k = V1/0.0625 = 4

The required amounts are


mu - 4sigma = 8.20 - 4 * 2.75 = 2.80
mu + 4sigma = 8 + 4 * 1.75 = 19.20
Between 2.80 and 19.20

r(x,y) 0.8391285978 b) Coefficient of correlation

c) Covariance is more valuable in expressing the relationship between calories and sugar
because it is a measure of how much two variables change together and that is what we
are looking at with the sugar and calories.
