DESCRIBING DATA USING GRAPH


The number of raisins in each of 14 mini boxes (1/2-ounce size) was counted
for a generic brand and for Sunmaid brand raisins. The two data sets are
shown as follows:
a. What are the mean and standard deviation for the generic brand?
b. What are the mean and standard deviation for the Sunmaid brand?
c. Compare the centers and variabilities of the two brands using the results
of parts a and b

PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION
Are you a coffee drinker? If so, how many coffee breaks do you take when
you are at work or at school? Most coffee drinkers take a little time for their
favorite beverage, and many take more than one coffee break every day. The
table below, adapted from a Snapshot in USA Today shows the probability
distribution for x, the number of daily coffee breaks taken per day by coffee
drinkers
x 0 1 2 3 4 5
p(x) 0,28 0,37 0,17 0,12 0,05 0,01

a. What is the probability that a randomly selected coffee drinker would take
no coffee breaks during the day?
b. What is the probability that a randomly selected coffee drinker would take
more than two coffee breaks during the day?
c. Calculate the mean and standard deviation for the random variable x.

DISCRETE PROBABILITY
Cancer Survivor Rates The 10-year survival rate for bladder cancer is
approximately 50%. If 20 people who have bladder cancer are properly
treated for the disease, what is the probability that :
a. At least 1 will survive for 10 years?
b. At least 10 will survive for 10 years?
c. At least 15 will survive for 10 years?

NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
Filling Soda Cups A soft drink machine can be regulated to discharge an
average of  ounces per cup. If the ounces of fill are normally distributed,
with standard deviation equal to 0.3 ounce, give the setting for  so that 8-
ounce cups will overflow only 1% of the time
