Use the following information to answer the next three exercises. The amount of money a customer spends in one trip to the supermarket is known to have an exponential distribution. Suppose the average amount of money a customer spends in one trip to the supermarket is $72. 13 . What is the probability that one customer spends less than$72 in one trip to the supermarket?

1. 0.6321
2. 0.5000
3. 0.3714
4. 1

14 . How much money altogether would you expect the next five customers to spend in one trip to the supermarket (in dollars)?

1. 72
2. $\frac{{72}^{2}}{5}$
3. 5184
4. 360

15 . If you want to find the probability that the mean amount of money 50 customers spend in one trip to the supermarket is less than $60, the distribution to use is: 1. N (72, 72) 2. $N\left(72,\frac{72}{\sqrt{50}}\right)$ 3. Exp (72) 4. $Exp\left(\frac{1}{72}\right)$ Use the following information to answer the next three exercises: The amount of time it takes a fourth grader to carry out the trash is uniformly distributed in the interval from one to ten minutes. 16 . What is the probability that a randomly chosen fourth grader takes more than seven minutes to take out the trash? 1. $\frac{3}{9}$ 2. $\frac{7}{9}$ 3. $\frac{3}{10}$ 4. $\frac{7}{10}$ 17 . Which graph best shows the probability that a randomly chosen fourth grader takes more than six minutes to take out the trash given that he or she has already taken more than three minutes? 18 . We should expect a fourth grader to take how many minutes to take out the trash? 1. 4.5 2. 5.5 3. 5 4. 10 Use the following information to answer the next three exercises: At the beginning of the quarter, the amount of time a student waits in line at the campus cafeteria is normally distributed with a mean of five minutes and a standard deviation of 1.5 minutes. 19 . What is the 90 th percentile of waiting times (in minutes)? 1. 1.28 2. 90 3. 7.47 4. 6.92 20 . The median waiting time (in minutes) for one student is: 1. 5. 2. 50. 3. 2.5. 4. 1.5. 21 . Find the probability that the average wait time for ten students is at most 5.5 minutes. 1. 0.6301 2. 0.8541 3. 0.3694 4. 0.1459 22 . A sample of 80 software engineers in Silicon Valley is taken and it is found that 20% of them earn approximately$50,000 per year. A point estimate for the true proportion of engineers in Silicon Valley who earn $50,000 per year is: 1. 16. 2. 0.2. 3. 1. 4. 0.95. 23 . If P ( Z < z α ) = 0.1587 where Z ~ N (0, 1), then α is equal to: 1. –1. 2. 0.1587. 3. 0.8413. 4. 1. 24 . A professor tested 35 students to determine their entering skills. At the end of the term, after completing the course, the same test was administered to the same 35 students to study their improvement. This would be a test of: 1. independent groups. 2. two proportions. 3. matched pairs, dependent groups. 4. exclusive groups. A math exam was given to all the third grade children attending ABC School. Two random samples of scores were taken. n $\overline{x}$ s Boys 55 82 5 Girls 60 86 7 25 . Which of the following correctly describes the results of a hypothesis test of the claim, “There is a difference between the mean scores obtained by third grade girls and boys at the 5% level of significance”? 1. Do not reject H 0 . There is insufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the mean scores. 2. Do not reject H 0 . There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the mean scores. 3. Reject H 0 . There is insufficient evidence to conclude that there is no difference in the mean scores. 4. Reject H 0 . There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the mean scores. #### Questions & Answers method of collection of data Abdul Reply problems of find mean and standard deviation with drawing curve Kukkuzz Reply describe the methods of calculation of sample Anuradha Reply what are the various uses of statistics in education Buhari Reply Survey, Public allocation of federal funds, business analysis and consumer data, the lotto, government programs and special services. Willard probability sampling Rosy Reply dicuss probability sampling Rosy given that a sample is normally distributed with M=10 sd=8 determine Rosy disscuss probability sampling Rosy Discuss probability sampling Rosy What is mean Rosy Probability sampling is based on the fact that every member of a population has a known and equal chance of being selected. For example, if you had a population of 100 people, each person would have odds of 1 out of 100 of being chosen. With non-probability sampling, those odds are not equal. Willard The Arithmetic Mean is the average of the numbers: a calculated "central" value of a set of numbers. To calculate it: • add up all the numbers, • then divide by how many numbers there are. Example: what is the mean of 2, 7 and 9? Add the numbers: 2 + 7 + 9 = 18 Divide by how many numbers, 3 you Willard get 6 Willard guidelines of designing a table Anuradha you can find that information on this website there is a lot of information.

The higher the probability, the more likely it is to happen. Probability is a number or fraction between 0 and 1. A probability of 1 means something will always happen, and a probability of 0 means something will never happen... La Reply Saying it's a number between zero and one means it is a fraction so you could remove "or fraction" from you definition. Carlos wouldn't be correct to remove fractions, saying a number is justified as probabilities can also be decimals between 0 and 1. Denzel Saying "a number" will include it being a decimal which are themselves fractions in another form. Carlos I will simply say a probability is a number in the range zero to one, inclusive.
