12. )     Use the following data set to construct a stem and leaf plot.

Data Set :  51, 50, 47, 50, 48, 41, 59, 68, 45, 37

Use the sample data below to answer questions # 13 - 17.  Give the numeric value and notation for the answer if there is one.


Data Set :  51, 50, 47, 50, 48, 41, 59, 68, 45, 37

 

13.   )          Find the mean of the data set.



 

14.  )          Find the variance of the data set.

 

 

 

15.  )          Find the median of the data set.

 

 


16.  )          Find the first quartile of the data set.

 

 

 


17.  )          Find the 85th percentile of the data set.


18.  )    An exam has a mean of 74 and a standard deviation of 8. If a person’s standard            score on the test is –0.75, what was the person’s exam score ?

 

 

 

 

 

19.  )    A sample has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 4.  Find the z-score for the x value = 59.

 

 

 

 

20. )     If you assume nothing about the shape of the distribution, at most what percentage of a distribution will be three or more standard deviations from the mean ?

 

 

 

 

 

21. )     Using the empirical rule, determine the approximate percentage of a normal           ( Bell-Shaped ) distribution that is expected to fall between one standard deviation below the mean and two standard deviations above the mean.


Use the following table to answer questions # 22 - 25.  The table shows x = the number of hours a runner has ran during each of eight weeks and y = the corresponding times in which she ran a mile at the end of the week:

22.  )    Find the linear correlation between the number of hours run and the mile time and explain what that value means.

 

 

23.  )    Find the equation of the least-squares regression line which will allow us to predict the runner's time for the mile from the number of hours she ran that week.

 

 

24.  )    Predict how fast the runner will run a mile at the end of a week in which she ran for 18.2 hours.

 

25.  )    Predict how fast the runner will run a mile at the end of a week in which she ran for 13.5 hours.
