Draw the histogram for these data using an initial class boundary of 17.5, an ending class boundary of 37.5, and 5 classes of equal width. Note that you can add or remove classes from the figure. Label each class with its endpoints. Frequency 7 6 5- 4- 3- 2- 1 0- # 0 0 0 Absolute hearing threshold (in decibels) 0 2. A recent study of 50 U.S. chess players details such things as the number of years the players have been active and the chess ratings of the players. (A chess rating is a number from 100 to about 3000, with a higher number indicating greater expertise.) The chess rating data for the sample of 50 players are summarized in the following histogram: Frequency 10+ M 6 6 300 700 15 13 14 1100 1500 1900 Chess rating 6 2300 2700 Based on the histogram, find the proportion of chess ratings in the sample that are greater than or equal to 1900 .Write your answer as a decimal, and do not round your answer. 3.

Adults who are being tested for dementia are asked to perform mental tasks such as listing as many animals as they can in one minute. Here are the numbers of animals listed in one minute by 8 normal (non-demented) adults: 17, 12, 19, 23, 22, 15, 13, 10. (a) What is the median of this data set? If your answer is not an integer, round your answer to one decimal place. (b) What is the mean of this data set? If your answer is not an integer, round your answer to one decimal place. (c) How many modes does the data set have, and what are their values?

BIG Corporation produces just about everything but is currently interested in the lifetimes of its batteries, hoping to obtain its share of a market boosted by the popularity of portable CD and MP3 players. To investigate its new line of Ultra batteries, BIG randomly selects 1000 Ultra batteries and finds that they have a mean lifetime of 835 hours, with a standard deviation of 87 hours. Suppose that this mean and standard deviation apply to the population of all Ultra batteries. Complete the following statements about the distribution of lifetimes of all Ultra batteries.
