Which of the following is true for the above box plot?
25% of the data are at most 5.
There is about the same amount of data from 4 – 5 as there is from 5 – 7.
There are no data values of 3.
50% of the data are 4.
False –
of the data are at most 5
True – each quartile has 25% of the data
False – that is unknown
False – 50% of the data are 4 or less

D
If
,
, and
and
are independent events, then explain which are correct and which are incorrect.
False - J and K are independent so they are not mutually exclusive which would imply dependency (meaning P(J and K) is not 0).
False - see answer C.
True - P(J or K) = P(J) + P(K) - P(J and K)
= P(J) + P(K) - P(J)P(K)= 0.3 + 0.6 - (0.3)(0.6) = 0.72.
Note that P(J and K) = P(J)P(K) because J and K are independent.
False - J and K are independent so P(J) = P(J|K).
