For problems 1 – 5: In a survey of 28 households, owners were asked the number of televisions in
their homes. The survey results were as follows:

3, 2, 2, 6, 3, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 5, 1, 4, 5, 2, 2, 1, 3, 4, 2, 0, 2, 5, 2, 3, 4, 3, 4

1. Fill in the five missing entries to complete the following table for these data.

2. Find the median of this distribution.

3. Find the mode of this distribution.

4. Calculate the standard deviation for this distribution.

5. Find the range of this distribution.

For problems 6 – 13: The following is a list of test scores for a class of 21 college algebra students.

47, 48, 55, 59, 64, 65, 68, 72, 72, 75, 76, 78, 79, 79, 83, 86, 87, 87, 87, 94, 98

6. Construct a grouped frequency distribution for the data. Use 40 – 49 for the first class and
use the same class width for each subsequent class.

7. Construct a histogram for the grouped frequency distribution.

8. Construct a stem-and-leaf plot for the data.

9. Identify the modal class of the grouped frequency distribution.

10. Find the mean of this data set.

11. Find the median of this data set.

12. Find the mode of this data set.

13. Find the midrange of this data set.

14. Based on the empirical rule, in a normal distribution, what percentage of the data falls within
two standard deviation above or below the mean?

For problems 15 – 18: The life expectancy of non-defective GE light bulbs is normally
distributed, with a mean life of 1500 hours and a standard deviation of 100 hours.
15. Calculate the z-score corresponding to x  1372 hours.

16. What percentage of bulbs will last under 1500 hours?

17. Based on the empirical rule, what percentage of bulbs will last between 1300 and 1600
hours?

18. Based on the empirical rule, what percentage of bulbs will last more than 1400 hours?

19. Consider a population that grows according to the recursive rule Pn  Pn1  100 , with initial
population P0  80 . Find P1 , P2 and then an explicit formula for the population Pn .

20. Mr. Breuer collected data about the number of gallons (x) of gasoline at fill-up together with
the number of miles (y) travelled since the previous fill-up. The data is shown in the table
below:

Gallons (x) 2.8 4.9 6 7 7.8

Miles (y) 124 219 271 313 353

On average, how many miles does Mr. Breuer get per gallon? If Mr. Breuer’s vehicle holds
9 gallons, how many miles can he drive on a single tank? (Round answers to the nearest
mile.)
