- use ^ for powers e.g. xΛ2 squared is x2
- be written in descending powers e.g. -3x3+x2-3x+1- use <= for less than or equals; >= for greater than or equals- use sqrt for square root- use cubert for cube root
A group of students has measured the heights of 90 trees. The class
calculate the mean height to be 12.4 m with standard deviation, 5.35 m. One
student notices that two of the measurements, 44.5 m and 43.2 m, are much too
big and must be wrong.
(a)   How many standard deviations away from the mean of 12.4 is the value 44.5?
The incorrect measurements of 44.5 m and 43.2 m must be removed from the data.
(b)   Calculate the new value of the mean after removing the two unwanted
        values.
