H+ [+ es bo G2 HH le 8 7 72 7 tH # oo €. The boxplot doesn’t look symmetric; instead, there seems to be aright skew. Why don’t they agree? Probably because this is a small sample, (In theory, height should have a normal distribution.) £, 4/12 (Not from the Empirical Rule, just basic probability.) Without replacement: (3/12)(2/11) = 0.045 With replacement: (3/12)(3/12) = 0.0625 (Lpromise on the test that I will be more exact about whether itis sampling with or without replacement.) ‘The chart below gives the wingspan (in millimeters) and the lifespan of adults (in days) for six different species of butterflies Wingspan(x) 36 302429283 Litespang) -23~=«8SCTS GSTS & y=H105x +608 bo r=-0.72 .

Are A and B independent? Yes, because P(A and B) = P(A)P(B) = 0.1 ©. Are A and B mutually exclusive (disjoint)? No, because P(A and B) = 0.1 whichis not equal t 0. ‘The table below shows counts for dexterity for Ms, Hood's statistics students from last spring, a. 40/88 bb.
