The next three questions refer to the following information:

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

Sport participation by age
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.

77 100 size 12{ { { size 8{"77"} } over { size 8{"100"} } } } {}

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

  • Sport and Age are independent events.
  • Ski and age 11 – 20 are mutually exclusive events.
  • P ( Ski and age 21 40 ) < P ( Ski age 21 40 ) size 12{P \( ital "Ski"+ ital "age""21" - "40" \)<P \( ital "Ski" \lline ital "age""21" - "40" \) } {}
  • P ( Snowboard or age 0 10 ) < P ( Snowboard age 0 10 ) size 12{P \( ital "Snowboardorage"0 - "10" \)<P \( ital "Snowboard" \lline ital "age"0 - "10" \) } {}

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 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 X ¯ size 12{ {overline {X}} } {} , the distribution for the average lengths of baby carrots in 16 five-pound bags. X ¯ ~ size 12{ {overline {X}} "~" } {}
