Q 10: Age of Senators The average age of Senators in the 108th Congress was
59.5 years. If the standard deviation was 11.5 years, find the z scores corresponding
to the oldest and youngest Senators: Robert C. Byrd (D, WV), 86, and John Sununu
(R, NH), 40.
Ans
X = 59.5
s = 11.5

Byrd
X = 86
z = (X- X)/s = (86-59.5)/11.5 = 2.3

Sununu
X = 40
z = (X- X)/s = (40-59.5)/11.5 = -1.696

Q 11: Driver’s License Exam Scores The average score on a state CDL license
exam is 76 with a standard deviation of 5. Find the corresponding z score for each
raw score.
a. 79 d. 65
b. 70 e. 77
c. 88
Ans
X = 76
s =5

a. X = 79
z = (X- X)/s = (79-76)/5 = 0.6

b. X = 70
z = (X- X)/s = (70-76)/5 = -1.3

c. X = 88
z = (X- X)/s = (88-76)/5 = 2.4

d. X = 65
z = (X- X)/s = (65-76)/5 = -2.2

e. X = 77
z = (X- X)/s = (77-76)/5 = 0.2
Q 15: Which score indicates the highest relative position?
a. A score of 3.2 on a test with X = 4.6 and s " 1.5
b. X = 800 and s " 200
c. X = 50 and s " 5
Ans
a. X = 3.2
X = 4.6
s = 1.5
z = (X- X)/s = (3.2-4.6)/1.5 = -0.933
b. X = 630
X = 800
S = 200
z = (X- X)/s = (630-800)/200 = -0.85
c. X = 43
X = 50
s =5
z = (X- X)/s = (43-50)/5 = -1.4

Ser b represents highest relative score.

Q 30: Using the procedure shown in Example 3–37, check each data set for outliers.
a. 16, 18, 22, 19, 3, 21, 17, 20
b. 24, 32, 54, 31, 16, 18, 19, 14, 17, 20
c. 321, 343, 350, 327, 200
d. 88, 72, 97, 84, 86, 85, 100
e. 145, 119, 122, 118, 125, 116
f. 14, 16, 27, 18, 13, 19, 36, 15, 20
Ans
a. Arrange data in sequence - 3, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22
MD = (18+19)/2 = 18.5
Q1 = (16+17)/2 = 16.5
Q3 = (20+21)/2 = 20.5
IQR = Q3-Q1 = 20.5-16.5 = 4

Q1-1.5(IQR) = 16.5-1.5(4) = 10.5

Q3+1.5(IQR) = 20.5+1.5(4) = 26.5
Outlier - 3

b. Arrange data in sequence - 14,16,17,18,19,20,24,31,32,54

MD = (19+20)/2 = 19.5
Q1 = 17
Q3 = 31
IQR = Q3-Q1 = 31-17 = 14

Q1-1.5(IQR) = 17-1.5(14) = -4
Q3+1.5(IQR) = 31+1.5(14) = 42
Outlier - 54

c. Arrange data in sequence - 200, 321, 327, 343, 350

MD = 327
 Q1 = (321+200)/2 = 260.5
Q3 = (350+343)/2 = 346.5
IQR = Q3-Q1 = 346.5-260.5 = 86

Q1-1.5(IQR) = 260.5-1.5(86) = 131.5

Q3+1.5(IQR) = 346.5+1.5(86) = 475.5
Outlier - None

d. Arrange data in sequence - 72, 84, 85, 86, 88, 97, 100
MD = 86
Q1 = 84
Q3 = 97
IQR = Q3-Q1 = 97-84 = 13

Q1-1.5(IQR) = 84-1.5(13) = 64.5

Q3+1.5(IQR) = 97+1.5(13) = 116.5
Outlier - None

e. Arrange data in sequence - 116, 118, 119, 122, 125, 145

MD = (122+119)/2 = 120.5
Q1 = 118
Q3 = 125
IQR = Q3-Q1 = 125-118 = 5

Q1-1.5(IQR) = 118-1.5(5) = 110.5

Q3+1.5(IQR) = 125+1.5(5) = 132.5
Outlier - None

f. Arrange data in sequence - 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 27, 36
MD = 18
Q1 = (15+14)/2 = 14.5
Q3 = (27+20)/2 = 23.5
IQR = Q3-Q1 = 23.5-14.5 = 9

Q1-1.5(IQR) = 14.5-1.5(9) = 1
Q3+1.5(IQR) = 23.5+1.5(9) = 37
Outlier - None
