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

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

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
• d

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.

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 $X$ .

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 $X$ .

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

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

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

Find the median waiting time for one student.

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