Problem 1) A book inventory record contains the following information: a) Title: More Mysteries --- nominal b) Author: Roger Mortimer --- nominal c) Date of publication: 1998 ---- interval d) List price: $25.00 --- ratio e) Number in stock: 6 --- ratio For the information (a) to (e) list the highest level of measurement as ratio, interval, ordinal, or nominal. Problem 3) To determine monthly rental prices of apartment units in San Francisco Bay area, samples were constructed in the following ways. Identify the technique used to produce each sample. (cluster, convenience, random, stratified, systematic): a) Number all the units in the area and use a random number table to select the apartments to include in the sample. – random b) Classify the apartment units according to the number of bedrooms and then take a random sample from each of the classes. -stratified c) Classify the apartments according to zip code and take a random sample from each of the zip code regions. stratified d) Look in the newspaper and choose the first apartments you find that list rents. Convenience Problem 4) The golf scores for the 20 members of a country club were as follows: 81, 76, 107, 95, 119, 92, 83, 74, 108, 88 95, 74, 83, 76, 97, 82, 79, 91, 93, 89 Create a relative frequency histogram using ten-point class widths to show the distribution of the scores. Problem 6) Black Hole Pizza Parlor instructs its cooks to put a "handful" of cheese on each large pizza. A random sample of six such handfuls were weighed. The weights to the nearest ounce were: 3 2 3 4 3 5 a) Find the mode, the median and the mean weight of the handfuls of cheese. b) Find the range and the stand deviation of the weights The mode is 3 The median is 3 The mean is 3.333 The range is 5-2=3 The standard deviation is calculated as follows: 1/5 * ( (2-3.33)^2 + (3-3.33)^2 +(3-3.33)^2 +(3-3.33)^2 +(4-3.33)^2 +(5-3.33)^2 ) = 1.0328 Problem 8) In a random sample of eight military contracts involving cost overruns, the following information was obtained. x = big price of the contract (in millions of dollars) and y = cost of overrun (expressed as a percent of the bid price). x y 6 10 3 5 9 18 16 21 31 25 39 35 29 12 17 8 a) Draw the scatter diagram for this data. b) Find the slope, b, and the intercept, a, for the least-squares line. Write the equation of the least-squares line. Slope = -1.68 y-intercept = 43.0 regression equation: y = 43.0 - 1.68 x. c) Graph the least-squares line on your scatter diagram. d) If an overrun contract was bid at 12 million dollars, what does the leastsquares line predict for the cost of overrun (as a percent of bid price)? 22.819% Problem 9) Mary Sue wants to know if there is a connection between attendance at craft fairs and the number of exhibitors who have booths at the fair. For a random sample of seven local craft fairs, she chose a random day of the fair and recorded the number of exhibitors. In the data below, x represents the number of exhibitors and y represents the attendance in hundreds of people. x 35 55 75 95 100 135 150 y 1.2 2.1 4.2 5.4 5.8 6.2 9.5 a) Draw the scatter diagram for the data. b) Calculate the sample correlation coefficient, r. r=0.9618. This is the square root of r^2 found in part b. c) Calculate the coefficient of determination, r2. From the regression output, SSR/SST = r^2 = 42.48/45.93 = 0.925 d) What does the coefficient of determination tell you about the variation in attendance and the variation in the number of exhibitors? It tells us that 92.5% of the variability in the number of attenders can be explained by using the number of exhibitors as a predictor variable. Problem 12) Evaluate: a) P6,4 = 360 b) C7,2 = 21 c) P4,4 = 24 d) C9,0 = 1 Problem 15) Richard has just been given a ten-question multiple choice test in his history class. Each question has five answers only one of which is correct. Since Richard has not attended class recently, he does not know any of the answers. Assume that Richard guesses randomly on all ten questions. P=0.2, n=10. Number right follows a binomial distribution. a) Find the probability that he will answer all 10 questions correctly. P(x=10) = 0.000000102 (from excel using =binomdist(10,10,.2,0) b) Find the probability that he will answer 5 or more questions correctly. =P(x>=5) = 1-P(x<=4) = 0.0328 from excel using =1-binomdist(4,10,.2,1) c) Find the probability that he will answer none of the questions correctly. =P(x=0) = 0.1074 (from excel, using =binomdist(0,10,.2,0) d) Find the probability that he will answer at least 3 questions correctly. =P(x>=3) = 1-P(x<=2) = 0.3222 (from excel using =binomdist(2,10,.2,1) Problem 16) Long-term history has shown that 65% of all elected offices in a rural county have been won by Republican candidates. This year there are 5 offices up for public election in the county Let r be the number of public offices won by Republicans. a) Find P(r) for r=0,1,2,3,4, and 5 P(x=0)=0.005252188 P(x=1)=0.048770313 P(x=2)=0.181146875 P(x=3)=0.336415625 P(x=4)=0.312385938 P(x=5)=0.116029063 b) Make a histogram for the r probability distribution. c) What is the expected number of Republicans who will win office in the coming election?

After interviewing many students, it was found that x has an approximately normal distribution with mean μ = 6.8 hours and standard deviation σ = 2.1 hours. Convert each of the following x intervals to standardized z intervals: a) x ≤ 7.5 z<=0.333 b) 5 ≤ x ≤ 8 00 -0.857142857 <= z <= 0.571428571 c) x ≥ 4 z>=-1.333 Convert each of the following z intervals to raw score x intervals: d) z ≥ -2 x>=2.6 e) 0 ≤ z ≤ 2 6.8<= x<=11 f) z ≤ 3 x<=13.1 Problem 19) Researchers at a pharmaceutical company have found that the effective time duration of a safe dosage of a pain relief drug is normally distributed with mean 2 hours and standard deviation 0.3 hour. For a patient selected at random: a) What is the probability that the drug will be effective for 2 hours or less? P(x<2) = P(z<0) = 0.5 b) What is the probability that the drug will be effective for 1 hour or less? P(x<1) = P(z<(1-2)/0.3) = P(z<-3.333) = 0.0004 c) What is the probability that the drug will be effective for 3 hours or more? P(x>3) = P(x<1) = 0.0004 Problem 20) Roger has read a report that the weights of adult mail Siberian tigers have a distribution which is approximately normal with mean μ = 390 lb and σ = 65 lb. a) Find the probability that an individual male Siberian tiger will weigh more than 450 lb. P(x>450) = P(z>(450-390)/65) = P(z>0.923) = 0.178 b Find the probability that a random sample of 4 male Siberian tigers will have a sample mean weight more than 450 lb. P(x-bar>450) = P(z>(450-390)/(65/sqrt(4)) = P(z>1.846) = 0.032
