Frequency curves for the distribution of blood pressure readings of certain anthletes before exercise (A) and after exercise (B) are plotted together as shown in the figure above. From the frequency curves, which one of hte following can be concluded?

A

Both distributions are identical

B

Both distributions have the same mean value

C

Both distributions have the same bean value but different variance

D

Both distributions have the same variance but different mean values

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

From observation of the graph it is noted the nature is similar, but are centered around different values, hence, they have same variance, but different mean values.

The following questions are based on the diagram given below showing four persons stationed at the four corners of a square piece of plot as shown. From the original position given in the above figure, A and B move one arm length clockwise and then cross over to the comer diagonally opposite, C and D move one arm.length anti-clockwise and cross over the corner diagonally opposite.

A lake filled with water has depth H, A pipe of length slightly less than H lies at the bottom of the lake. It contains an ideal gas filled up to a length of (H)/(10) A smooth an ideal gas filled up to a length gas in place. Now the pipe is slowly raised to vertical position (see figure). Assume that temperature of the gas remains Constant and neglect the atmospheric pressure. (a) Plot the variation of pressure inside the lake as a function of height y from the base. Let the height of piston frm the base, after the pipe is made vertical, by y. plot the variation of gas pressure as a function of y in the first graph itself. (b) In equilibrium the gas pressure and the pressure due to water on the piston must be equal. Using this solve for equilibrium height y_(0) of the piston. You get two answers. Which one is correct and why?
