Assignment #2 Provided is a data set that shows the number of arrests from a group of male juveniles in DYS custody,

and group of male adults in DOC custody.

Juveniles: Adults:

04 05 05 07 08 10 04 06 07 08 07 03 12 09 06 05 02 06 10 05 11 14 02 05 10 09 04 02

Using the information and table provided, calculate the standard deviation for Juveniles.

Using your knowledge of the Normal Curve, 95% of the Juvenile data is located between what two points? i.e. 95% of Juveniles have had between what two number of arrests?

Thus, 95% of the Juvenile data is located between these two points (2.265, 10.069). Calculate the z-score for the lowest value in the Juvenile data set. Calculate the z-score for the highest value in the Juvenile data set. Using the information and table provided, calculate the standard deviation for Adults.

Using your knowledge of the Normal Curve, 95% of the Adult data is located between what two points? i.e. 95% of Adults have had between what two number of arrests?

Thus, 95% of the Adult data is located between these two points (-0.314, 14.314). Calculate the z-score for the lowest value in the Adult data set.

Calculate the z-score for the highest value in the Adult data set.

Compare the Juvenile and Adult z-score for lowest values. Which is a more extreme value? i.e., which is farther from its respective mean? Juvenile z-score of lowest value is more extreme and farther from its respective mean than Adults. Compare the Juvenile and Adult z-score for highest values. Which is a more extreme value? i.e., which is farther from its respective mean? Juvenile z-score of highest value is more extreme and farther from its respective mean than Adults.
