Instructor: Rex Cheung Name: ID: Instructions: 50 minutes, closed book midterm one letter-sized (double-side) cheat-sheet, hand held calculator and scrap paper are allowed 20 multiple choice problems, 5 points each put your name & ID on this midterm and scantron hand in both this midterm and scantron (the midterm will be used as a proof of your presence in the unlikely event of missing scantron) grading is based on scantron which will be returned to you later good luck! 1.

A radio station claims that the amount of advertising each hour has a mean of 16 minutes lowing stem and leaf plot (the leaf unit is 1 and and a sample variance of 1.9 minutes. You listhe stem unit is 10). What is the ve number ten to the radio station for 1 hour and observe summary? that the amount of advertising time is 14 minLeaf Stem utes. Calculate the z-score for this amount of 3 5 advertising time.
