ASSIGNMENT-1

1. 1.1 The relevant population is the business graduates in the United States in marketing
concentration.
1.2 No, the average salary of $140,660 was computed from the sample data because this
number has been calculated from data marketing manager salaries. The sample data is a
subset of population which is the salary of marketing graduates. So, it can be concluded that
the number of $140,660 denotes the sample statistic parameter.
2 The value 35 is the estimated average age of the population. It would be rather impossible to
reach all video game players.
3 3.1 The frequency distribution

70 to 80 7
80 to 90 14
90 to 100 10
Total : 33

1.2 The relative frequency, cumulative frequency, cumulative relative frequency

Total : 33 1.0

1.3 The cities high temperatures less than 80° = 9

The cities high temperatures of at least 80° but less than 90° = 42%
The cities high temperatures less than 90° = 69%

1.5 Comment : the shape of distribution shows the negatively skewed, since it has a long tail
extending off to the left.

4.2 The cities had a vacancy rate less than 12% = 45

The cities had a vacancy rate less of at least 6% but less than 9% = 40%
4.3 The cities had a vacancy rate of less than 9% = 70%

Comment : the shape of distribution shows the bell-shaped curve known as normal distribution.
