AP Stat Chapter 1 In Class Review 1. A year ago, Angela began working at a computer store. Her supervisor asked her to keep a record of the number of sales she made each month. The following data set is a list of her sales for the last 12 months: 34, 47, 1, 15, 57, 24, 20, 11, 19, 50, 28, 37 Like Angela, Carl works at a computer store. He also recorded the number of sales he made each month. In the past 12 months, he sold the following numbers of computers: 51, 17, 25, 39, 7, 49, 62, 41, 20, 6, 43, 13. 1. Give a five-number summary of Carl's and Angela's sales. 2. Make two box and whisker plots, one for Angela's sales and one for Carl's. 3. Briefly describe the comparisons between their sales. 4. The frequency table of the monthly salaries of 20 people is shown below. Salary (in $) Frequency 3500 5 4000 8 4200 5 4300 2 a) Calculate the mean of the salaries of the 20 people. b) Calculate the standard deviation of the salaries of the 20 people. 5. Consider the following three Data Sets A, B, and C. A= {4, 8, 10, 11, 12} B = {5, 5, 5, 5, 5} C = {3, 2, 10, 15, 15} a) Calculate the mean of each data set. b) Calculate the standard deviation of each data set. c) Which set has the largest standard deviation? d) Is it possible to answer question ācā without calculations of the standard deviation? 6. In 1997, there were 12,298,000 undergraduate students in US colleges. According to the US Department of Education, there were 127,000 American Indian or Alaskan Native, 737,000 Asian or Pacific Islander, 1,380,000 non-Hispanic black, 1,108,000 Hispanic, and 8,682,000 non-Hispanic white students. In addition, 265,000 foreign undergraduates were enrolled in US colleges. a) Each number, including the total, is rounded to the nearest thousand. Separate rounding may cause roundoff errors, so that the sum of the counts does not equal the total given. Are round off errors present in these data? Explain. b) Present the data in a graph. 7. How much oil wells in a given field will ultimately produce is key information in deciding whether to drill more wells. Here are the estimated total amounts of oil recovered from 64 wells in the Devonian Richmond Dolomite area of the Michigan basin, in thousands of barrels. a) Use the information provided to describe the important features of this distribution. 8. The histogram shows the number of major hurricanes that reached the East Coast of the United States from 1944 to 2000. Describe the shape, center, and spread of the distribution.
