Use the following information to answer the next seven exercises. A distribution is given asX~Exp(0.75). Find the median.

The data that follow are the square footage (in 1,000 feet squared) of 28 homes.

The sample mean = 2.50 and the sample standard deviation = 0.8302. The distribution can be written as X~U(1.5,4.5).

What is the 90thpercentile of square footage for homes?

Use the following information to answer the next eleven exercises. The age of cars in the staff parking lot of a suburban college is uniformly distributed from six months (0.5 years) to 9.5 years.

Find the third quartile of ages of cars in the lot. This means you will have to find the value such that 34or75%,of the cars are at most (less than or equal to) that age.

a. Sketch the graph, and shade the area of interest.
