The next three questions refer to the following information:
In a survey at Kirkwood Ski Resort the following information was recorded:
0 – 10 | 11 - 20 | 21 - 40 | 40+ | |
Ski | 10 | 12 | 30 | 8 |
Snowboard | 6 | 17 | 12 | 5 |
Suppose that one person from of the above was randomly selected.
Find the probability that the person was a skier or was age 11 – 20.
Find the probability that the person was a snowboarder given he/she was age 21 – 40.
Explain which of the following are true and which are false.
The average length of time a person with a broken leg wears a cast is approximately 6 weeks. The standard deviation is about 3 weeks. Thirty people who had recently healed from broken legs were interviewed. State the distribution that most accurately reflects total time to heal for the thirty people.
The distribution for is Uniform. What can we say for certain about the distribution for when ?
A
The distribution for is uniform. What can we say for certain about the distribution for when ?
C
The next three questions refer to the following information:
A group of students measured the lengths of all the carrots in a five-pound bag of baby carrots. They calculated the average length of baby carrots to be 2.0 inches with a standard deviation of 0.25 inches. Suppose we randomly survey 16 five-pound bags of baby carrots.
State the approximate distribution for , the distribution for the average lengths of baby carrots in 16 five-pound bags.
Explain why we cannot find the probability that one individual randomly chosen carrot is greater than 2.25 inches.
Find the probability that is between 2 and 2.25 inches.

The next three questions refer to the following information:

Find the 90th percentile of waiting time in minutes.
7.6
Find the median waiting time for one student.
5
Find the probability that the average waiting time for 40 students is at least 4.5 minutes.
