A data set lists weights (lb) of plastic discarded by households. The highest weight is 5.58 lb, the mean of all of the weights is x=1.956 lb, and the standard deviation of the weights is s=2.332 lb.
a. What is the difference between the weight of 5.58 lb and the mean of the weights?
b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]?
c. Convert the weight of 5.58 lb to a z score.
d. If we consider weights that convert to z scores between −2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the weight of 5.58 lb significant?
