1) Jack weighs 160 pounds and his sister weighs

1) Jack weighs 160 pounds and his sister weighs 110 pounds. If the mean weight for men his age is 175 with a standard deviation of 14 pounds and the mean weight for women is 145 with a standard deviation of 10 pounds, determine whose weight is closer to “average.” Write your answer in terms of z-scores and areas under the normal curve.

2) Explain the difference between a population and a sample. In which if these is it important to distinguish between the two in order to use the correct formula? mean; median; mode; range; quartiles; variance; standard deviation.

3) The following numbers represent the weights in pounds of six 7-year old children in Mrs. Jones’ 2nd grade class.

{25, 60, 51, 47, 49, 45}

Find the mean; median; mode; range; quartiles; variance; standard deviation.

4) The Student Services office did a survey of 500 students in which they asked if the student is part-time or full-time. Another question asked whether the student was a transfer student. The results follow.

Transfer Non-Transfer Row Totals
Part-Time 100 110 210
Full-Time 170 120 290
Column Totals 270 230 500

a) If a student is selected at random (from this group of 500 students), find the probability that the student is a transfer student. P (Transfer)
b) If a student is selected at random (from this group of 500 students), find the probability that the student is a part time student. P (Part Time)
c) If a student is selected at random (from this group of 500 students), find the probability that the student is a transfer student and a part time student. P(transfer part time).
d) If a student is selected at random (from this group of 500 students), find the probability that the student is a transfer student if we know he is a part time student. P(transfer | part time).
e) If a student is selected at random (from this group of 500 students), find the probability that the student is a part time given he is a transfer student. P(part time | transfer)
f) Are the events part time and transfer independent? Explain mathematically.
g) Are the events part time and transfer mutually exclusive. Explain mathematically.

f) Find the probability that the braking distance is between 45 m and 46.8 m.
12) To predict the annual rice yield in pounds we use the equation
