The median quiz score for each sample :

Sample size 3
Median
Abigail - Bobby - Carlos
(10,5,10)=10
Abigail - Bobby - DeAnna
(10,5,7)=7
Abigail - Bobby - Emily
(10,5,9)=9
Abigail - Carlos - DeAnna
(10,10,7)=10
Abigail - Carlos - Emily
(10,10,9)=10
Abigail - DeAnna - Emily
(10,7,9)=9
Bobby - Carlos - DeAnna
(5,10,7)=7
Bobby - Carlos - Emily
(5,10,9)=9
Carlos - DeAnna - Emily
(10,7,9)=9

Simplify

Median can be calculated by arranging the data in ascending or descending order.

A dot plot is a graph that shows the distribution of numerical variables by using dots to represent values.
If a value appears more than once in a whole number, the dots are stacked one on top of the other, with the height of the column of dots representing the frequency of that value.

In a certain large population of adults, the distribution of IQ scores is strongly left skewed with a mean of 122 and a standard deviation of 5. Suppose 200 adults are randomly selected from this population for a market research study. For SRSs of size 200, the distribution of sample mean IQ score is

a. left-skewed with mean 122 and standard deviation 0.35.

b. exactly Normal with mean 122 and standard deviation 5.

c. exactly Normal with mean 122 and standard deviation 0.35.

d. approximately Normal with mean 122 and standard deviation 5.

e. approximately Normal with mean 122 and standard deviation 0.35.

Songs on an iPod David's iPod has about 10,000 songs. The distribution of the play times for these songs is heavily skewed to the right with a mean of 225 seconds and a standard deviation of 60 seconds. Suppose we choose an SRS of 10 songs from this population and calculate the mean play time x-x¯of these songs.

a. Identify the mean of the sampling distribution of x-x¯.

b. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x-·x¯. Verify that the 10%condition is met.

A researcher initially plans to take an SRS of size 160 from a certain population and calculate the sample mean x-x¯. Later, the researcher decides to increase the sample size so that the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x-x¯will be half as big as when using a sample size of 160 . What sample size should the researcher use?

a. 40

b. 80

c. 320

d. 640

e. There is not enough information to determine the sample size.

Bias and variability The figure shows approximate sampling distributions of 4different

statistics intended to estimate the same parameter.




a. Which statistics are unbiased estimators? Justify your answer.

b. Which statistic does the best job of estimating the parameter? Explain your answer.

The number of unbroken charcoal briquets in a 20-pound bag filled at the factory follows a Normal distribution with a mean of 450 briquets and a standard deviation of 20 briquets. The company expects that a certain number of the bags will be underfilled, so the company will replace for free the 5%of bags that have too few briquets. What is

the minimum number of unbroken briquets the bag would have to contain for the company to avoid having to replace the bag for free?

a. 404

b. 411

c. 418

d. 425

e. 448
