2. A pollster wants to perform a survey in a middle school that has 43 classes. He selects
at random 5 of these classes and then surveys all students in each of the five selected
classes.

Arrange the data set in 5 classes:
Choose the class width. Define the class limits (lower and upper), class midpoints, class
frequencies, relative frequencies and cumulative frequencies. Fill out the Frequency Table
you have downloaded. (Points : 17)

7. Data Set: 33 50 44 84 18 39 55 60 41 50 29 47 19 73 84 93 28
Find its mean, median and mode(s). (Points : 11)

8. Given: sample 25 51 81 17 68
Find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation.
Note: You may want to use Table 2 you have downloaded. (Points : 8)
Sample Mean: 48.4
Sample Standard Deviation: 27.327

9. A retailer sold 50 vacuum cleaners at $90 and 35 vacuum cleaners at $140. Find the
weighted mean price of a vacuum cleaner sold by the retailer. (Points : 6)

[(50x90)+(90x35)]/85 = 110.588
Weighted Mean: 110.588
10. Bobs height is 74 in.
In his sport team, the mean height is 71 in, and the standard deviation is 3 in.
Jeffs height is 76 in.
In his sport team, the mean height is 73 in, and the standard deviation is 2.8 in.
Chris height is 75 in.
In his sport team, the mean height is 69 in, and the standard deviation is 2.6 in.
Is any of them unusually tall in his sport team? Justify your answer. (Points : 6)
Chris' height is unusually tall in his sport team. In his sport team, Chris' height is
more than 2 standard deviation above the mean: 69 + 2(2.6) = 74.2. Bob's height and
Jeff's height are usual because their heights are around 1 standard deviation above
the mean.
11. Is the following pair of events mutually exclusive?

14. A bag contains 10 red marbles, 5 yellow marbles, and 7 green marbles. If one marble

is randomly picked from the bag, what is the probability that this marble is not green?
(Points : 4)
P(not green) = (10+5)/22 = 0.6818
15. 350 randomly selected residents of California were asked whether they spent the last
weekend at home or went on a trip. 78 answered they made a trip within California, 64
traveled outside of California, and the rest of them stayed at home.
If one of these people is selected at random, what is the probability that he/she spent the
weekend without leaving California? (Points : 5)
350 - 64 - 78 = 208 stayed home
P(spend weekend without leaving CA)
= (208 + 78) / 350 = 0.8171

If one of these vehicles is selected at random, find the probability that it is a GMC SUV.
(Points : 6)
P(GMC SUV) = 10 / (8+5+3+9+5+10) = 0.25

student makes random guessing on Questions 1, 2 and 3.
What is the probability that all three answers are correct? (Points : 6)
P(all 3 correct) = (0.2)(0.2)(0.2) = 0.008
