Name ____________________ _____Date: ________________________________

Instruction: Answer each of the following questions as directed:

1. A high school teacher at a small private school assigns trigonometry practice
problems to be worked via the net. Students must use a password to access the
problems and the time of log-in and log-off are automatically recorded for the teacher.
At the end of the week, the teacher examines the amount of time each student spent
working the assigned problems. The data is provided below in minutes.

15 28 25 48 22 43 49 34 22 33 27 25 22 20 39

a. Find the Mean, Median, and Mode for the above data.
b. What does this information tell you about students' length of time on the
computer solving trigonometry problems?
c. Is this data skewed?

2. Calculate the variance and standard deviation, quartile 1, quartile 2, quartile 3, decile
7 and percentile 80 for these final exam scores ;

24, 58, 61, 67, 71, 73, 76, 79, 82, 83, 85, 87, 88, 88, 92, 93, 94, 97

3. Below is the distribution of the diameters of the heads of rivets manufactured by a

company.

Identify the population and sample: Encircle the letter of your answer.

4. a.)The population is all of the hot entrees Lucio serves; the sample is the
entrees that are a safe temperature.
b.)The population is the 70 selected entrees; the sample is the entrees that
are a safe temperature.
c.)The population is all of the entrees Lucio serves; the sample is
the 70 selected entrees.

5. a.) The population is all people who buy refreshments in the sports stadium;
the sample is the occupants of the 80 selected seats.
b) The population is the occupants of the 80 selected seats; the sample is
the refreshment options.
c.) The population is the occupants of all seats in the sports stadium; the
sample is the occupants of the 80 selected seats.

6. a.) The population is all classrooms in the district; the sample is the
7 classrooms selected.
b.) The population is all classrooms in the elementary school; the sample is
the 7 classrooms selected.
c.) The population is all elementary students in the school; the sample is the
students in the 7 classrooms selected.

7. Charlie got a mark of 85 on a math test which had a mean of 75 and a standard
deviation of 5. Daisy got a mark of 75 on an English test which had a mean of 69 and a
standard deviation of 2. Relative to their respective mean and standard deviation, who
got the better grade?

8. Your teacher has told you that she will drop the test where you did worse compared
to the other students.

On Test 1 you scored 90 (mean=88, SD = 4)

On Test 2 you scored 88 (mean=79, SD=3)
Which test will she drop?

Good Luck!!!!
