Traveler Spending The data show the
traveler spending in billions of dollars
for a recent year for a sample of the
states. Find the range, variance, and standard deviation for the data.
Range = Greatest Value – Smallest Value = 110.8 – 20.1 = 90.7

Ages of Accountants The average age of the accountants at Three Rivers Corp. is 26 years, with a
standard deviation of 6 years; the average salary of the accountants is $31,000, with a standard
deviation of $4000. Compare the variations of age and income.

Since the Coefficient of Variance of age is greater than the C. V. for Salary, so, Age is more
variable.

Which score indicates the highest relative position?
a. A score of 3.2 on a test with 𝑋̅= 4.6 and s = 1.5
b. A score of 630 on a test with 𝑋̅= 800 and s = 200

Z – score = = = = −0.933

𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒−𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑛 630−800
Z – score = = = = −0.85
𝑆 200
Since the value of b is greater than value of a, therefore, b has a higher relative position.
