A random sample of 87 observations produced a mean

= 25.7 and a standard

deviation s = 2.6. 2. Health care workers who use latex gloves with glove powder on a daily basis are particularly susceptible to developing a latex allergy. Each in a sample of 50 hospital employees who were diagnosed with a latex allergy based on a skin-prick test reported on their exposure to latex gloves. Summary statistics for thr number of latex gloves used per week are = 19.4 and s = 11.6. Complete parts (a) – (d). 3. Each child in a sample of 62 low-income children was administered a language and communication exam. The sentence complexity scores had a mean of 7.63 and a standard deviation of 8.92. Complete parts a through d. 4. The random sample shown below was selected from a normal distribution. 4, 10, 7,….2. Complete parts a and b. 5. Periodically, a town water department tests the drinking water of homeowners such as lead. The lead levels in water specimens collected for a sample of 10 residents of the town had a mean of 3.1 mg/L and a standard deviation of 1.2 mg/L. Complete parts a through c. 6. A random sample of size n = 250 yielded = 0.20. 7. A newspaper reported that 50% of people say that some coffee shops are overpriced. The source of this information was a telephone survey of 40 adults. 8. An accounting firm annually monitors a certain mailing service’s performance. One parameter of interest is the percentage of mail delivered on time. In a sample of 303,000 items mailed between Dec. 10 and Mar. 3__ the most difficult delivery season due to bad weather and holidays__ the accounting firm determined that 245,200 items were delivered on time. Use this information to make a statement about the likelihood of an item being on time by that mailing service. 9. Suppose oyu’re given a data set that classifies each sample unit into one of four categories: A, B, C, or D. You plan to create a computer database consisting of these data, and you decide to code the data as A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, and D = 4. Are the data consisting of the classifications A, B, C and D qualitative or Quantitative? After the data are input as 1, 2, 3, or 4, are they qualitative or Quantitative? 10. In one university, language professors incorporated a 10-week extensive program to improve students’ Japanese reading comprehension. The professors collected 262 books originally written for Japanese children and required their students to read at least 40 of them as part of the grade in the course. The books were categorized into reading levels (color-coded for easy selection) according to length and complexity. Complete parts a through c. 11. Use the relative frequency table shown to the right to calculate the number of the 400 measurements failing into each of the measurements classes. Then graph a frequency histogram for these data. 12. Five banks have been ranked by the amount charged to credit and debit cards issued by the banks. The table to the right gives the total amount charged in 2007 for the top ranked banks.


13. Compare the z-scores to decide which of the x values below lie the greatest above the mean and the greatest distance below the mean. 14. Consider the horizandal box plot shown to the right. 15. Educators are constantly eveluating the efficacy of public schools in the education and training of tudents. One quantitative assessment of change over time is the difference in scores on the SAT. The table below contains the average SAT scores for 10 states for the years 1988 and 2005. 16. The mean gas mileage for a hybrid car is 56 miles per gallon. Suppose that the gasoline mileage is approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 3.2 miles per gallon.
