Provide an appropriate response.

1) The frequency table below shows the number of days off in a given year for 30 police detectives.

Days off Frequency

0-2 10

3-5 1

6-8 7

9-11 7

12-14 1

15-17 4

Construct a histogram. Use the class midpoints for the horizontal scale. Does the result appear to be a normal distribution? Why or why not?

2)Find the indicated measure.

The weights (in pounds) of 30 newborn babies are listed below. Find Q1

5.55.75.86.06.16.16.36.46.56.6

6.76.76.76.97.07.07.07.17.27.2

7.47.57.77.77.88.08.18.18.38.7

3) Find the indicated probability. Express your answer as a simplified fraction unless otherwise noted

The table below shows the soft drinks preferences of people in three age groups.

cola root beer lemon-lime

Under 21 years of age 40 25 20

between 21 and 40 35 20 30

over 40 years of age 20 30 35

If one of the 255 subjects is randomly selected, find the probability that the person is over 40 years of age given that they drink root beer.

4) Assume that a researcher randomly selects 14 newborn babies and counts the number of girls selected, x. The probabilities corresponding to the 14 possible values of x are summarized in the given table. Answer the question using the table. Find the probability of selecting 9 or more girls?
