The next three questions refer to the following information:

In a survey at Kirkwood Ski Resort the following information was recorded:

 0 – 10 11 - 20 21 - 40 40+ Ski 10 12 30 8 Snowboard 6 17 12 5

Suppose that one person from of the above was randomly selected.

Find the probability that the person was a skier or was age 11 – 20.

REVIEW QUESTION 1 Solution : $\frac{\text{77}}{\text{100}}$

Find the probability that the person was a snowboarder given he/she was age 21 – 40.

REVIEW QUESTION 2 Solution : $\frac{\text{12}}{\text{42}}$

Explain which of the following are true and which are false.

• ## A

Sport and Age are independent events.
• ## B

Ski and age 11 – 20 are mutually exclusive events.
• ## C

$P\left(\text{Ski}\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\text{and}\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\text{age}\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\text{21}-\text{40}\right)
• ## D

$P\left(\text{Snowboard}\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\text{or}\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\text{age}\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}0-\text{10}\right)

False

False

True
• ## D

False

The average length of time a person with a broken leg wears a cast is approximately 6 weeks. The standard deviation is about 3 weeks. Thirty people who had recently healed from broken legs were interviewed. State the distribution that most accurately reflects total time to heal for the thirty people.

REVIEW QUESTION 4 Solution : $N\left(\text{180},\text{16}\text{.}\text{43}\right)$

The distribution for $X$ is Uniform. What can we say for certain about the distribution for $\overline{X}$ when $n=1$ ?

• ## A

The distribution for $\overline{X}$ is still Uniform with the same mean and standard dev. as the distribution for $X$ .
• ## B

The distribution for $\overline{X}$ is Normal with the different mean and a different standard deviation as the distribution for $X$ .
• ## C

The distribution for $\overline{X}$ is Normal with the same mean but a larger standard deviation than the distribution for $X$ .
• ## D

The distribution for $\overline{X}$ is Normal with the same mean but a smaller standard deviation than the distribution for $X$ .

REVIEW QUESTION 5 Solution : A

The distribution for $X$ is uniform. What can we say for certain about the distribution for $\sum X$ when $n=50$ ?

• ## A

The distribution for $\sum X$ is still uniform with the same mean and standard deviation as the distribution for $X$ .
• ## B

The distribution for $\sum X$ is Normal with the same mean but a larger standard deviation as the distribution for $X$ .
• ## C

The distribution for $\sum X$ is Normal with a larger mean and a larger standard deviation than the distribution for $X$ .
• ## D

The distribution for $\sum X$ is Normal with the same mean but a smaller standard deviation than the distribution for $X$ .

REVIEW QUESTION 6 Solution : C

The next three questions refer to the following information:

A group of students measured the lengths of all the carrots in a five-pound bag of baby carrots. They calculated the average length of baby carrots to be 2.0 inches with a standard deviation of 0.25 inches. Suppose we randomly survey 16 five-pound bags of baby carrots.

State the approximate distribution for $\overline{X}$ , the distribution for the average lengths of baby carrots in 16 five-pound bags. $\overline{X}\text{~}$

REVIEW QUESTION 7 Solution : $N\left(2\text{,}\frac{\text{.25}}{\sqrt{\text{16}}}\right)$

Explain why we cannot find the probability that one individual randomly chosen carrot is greater than 2.25 inches.

## Review question 8 solution

We do not know the probability distribution for the underlying population of lengths of the individual carrots.

Find the probability that $\overline{X}$ is between 2 and 2.25 inches.

REVIEW QUESTION 9 Solution : 0.5000

The next three questions refer to the following information:

At the beginning of the term, the amount of time a student waits in line at the campus store is normally distributed with a mean of 5 minutes and a standard deviation of 2 minutes.

Find the 90th percentile of waiting time in minutes.

REVIEW QUESTION 10 Solution : 7.6

Find the median waiting time for one student.

REVIEW QUESTION 11 Solution : 5

Find the probability that the average waiting time for 40 students is at least 4.5 minutes.

REVIEW QUESTION 12 Solution : 0.9431

Mark and Don are planning to sell each of their marble collections at a garage sale. If Don has 1 more than 3 times the number of marbles Mark has, how many does each boy have to sell if the total number of marbles is 113?
Mark = x,. Don = 3x + 1 x + 3x + 1 = 113 4x = 112, x = 28 Mark = 28, Don = 85, 28 + 85 = 113
