a True
b True
c False – the median and the mean are the same for this symmetric distribution

Which of the following is true for the above box plot?
a 25% of the data are at most 5.
b There is about the same amount of data from 4 – 5 as there is from 5 – 7.
c There are no data values of 3.
d 50% of the data are 4.
a False –

size 12{ { {3} over {4} } } {} of the data are at most 5
b True – each quartile has 25% of the data
c False – that is unknown

If
P
(
G
∣
H
)
=
P
(
G
)
size 12{P \( G \lline H \) =P \( G \) } {} , then which of the following is correct?
A
G
size 12{G} {} and
H
size 12{H} {} are mutually exclusive events.
B
P
(
G
)
=
P
(
H
)
size 12{P \( G \) =P \( H \) } {}
C Knowing that
H
size 12{H} {} has occurred will affect the chance that
G
size 12{G} {} will happen.
D
G
size 12{G} {} and
H
size 12{H} {} are independent events.

If
P
(
J
)
=
0
.
3
size 12{P \( J \) =0 "." 3} {} ,
P
(
K
)
=
0
.
6
size 12{P \( K \) =0 "." 6} {} , and
J
size 12{J} {} and
K
size 12{K} {} are independent events, then explain which are correct and which are incorrect.
A
P
(
J
and
K
)
=
0
B
P
(
J
or
K
)
=
0.9
C
P
(
J
or
K
)
=
0.72
D
P
(
J
)
≠
P
(
J
∣
K
)
A False - J and K are independent so they are not mutually exclusive which would imply dependency (meaning P(J and K) is not 0).
B False - see answer C.
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.
D False - J and K are independent so P(J) = P(J|K). Got questions? Get instant answers now!
