.               A group of students in MATH 105 start a walking program.  The chart below shows each member’s self-reported walking time in minutes during May 2022.

 

X - 300 C - 400   F – 60

A - 325  D - 900  G – 600                                               

B - 550   E - 150   H – 250                                                

 

By what percent did X exceed or fall below the mean?

To determine by what percent the value X exceeded or fell below the mean, we need to calculate the mean (average) of the given walking times and then find the difference between the value of X and the mean.
The mean can be calculated by summing all the values and dividing by the total number of values. In this case, we have eight values:
Mean=X+C+F+A+D+G+B+E+H8
Substituting the given values:
Mean=300+400+60+325+900+600+550+150+2508
Simplifying:
Mean=35858=448.125
The mean walking time is approximately 448.125 minutes.
Now, let's calculate the difference between the value of X and the mean:
Difference=XMean
Substituting the values:
Difference=300448.125
Calculating the difference:
Difference=148.125
The value of X falls below the mean by approximately 148.125 minutes.
To express this as a percentage, we need to find what percentage of the mean the difference represents:
Percentage=(DifferenceMean)×100
Substituting the values:
Percentage=(148.125448.125)×100
Calculating the percentage:
Percentage33.05%
Therefore, the value X fell below the mean by approximately 33.05%.
