 1. For the following Data :

1000 , 1500 , 1750 , 15000 , 10000

Find
Mean( X ) , Median , Mode , Range, Mean Deviation (MD), and
Standard Deviation (SD).
2. For the following Data :

X 1 2 3 4 5 6
Y 10 8 7 6 5 5

Find the regression line

Y = aX +b
Then find the value of Y when X = 10
3. In a study of the effectiveness of an insecticide against a certain insect a large area of land
was sprayed. Later the area was examined for live insects by randomly selecting
squares and counting the number of live insects per square. Past experience has shown
the average number of live insects per square after spraying to be 0.5. If the number of
live insects per square follows a Poisson distribution, what is the probability that a
selected square will contain:

(a) No live insects? (b) Exactly one live insect?

(c) Exactly four live insects?
(d)One or more live insects
4. The time needed to complete final examination in a particular college course is
normally distributed with a mean of 80 minutes and standard deviation 10 minutes
i. What is the probability of completing the exam in one hour or less ?
ii. Assume that the class has 60 students and that the examination period is 90
minutes in length . How many students do you expect will be unable to
complete the exam in the allotted time ?
5. In developing patient appointment schedules, a medical center wants an estimate of
the mean time that a staff member spends with each patient. How large a sample
should be taken if the desired margin of error is 2 minutes at a 95% level of
confidence? Use a planning value for the population standard deviation of 8 minutes.
6. An American Express retail survey found that 16% of U.S. consumers had used the
internet to buy gifts during the holiday's season. If 1285 customers participated in the
survey , what is the interval estimate of the population proportion of the customers
using the internet to buy gifts ? use 95% confidence .
7. A recent national survey found that high school students watched an average
( Mean ) of 6.8 videos per month . A random sample of 100 college students revealed
that the mean number of videos watched last month was 6.2 with standard deviation
0.5 . At the 0.05 level of significance , can we conclude that college students watch
fewer videos a month than high school students ?
8. . A Nielsen survey provided the estimate that the mean number of hours of
television viewing per household is 7.25 hours per day . assume that the Nielsen
survey involved 200 households and that the sample standard deviation was 2.5 hours
per day . Ten years ago the population mean number of hours of television viewing
per household was reported to be 6.70 hours . Letting  = the population mean
number of hours of television viewing per household in , test the hypotheses
H :   6.70 and
H :  6.70 . use  = 0.01 .
