All that is required is to complete the following problems that are attached.


Exploring Data 1- A researcher wants to measure physical height in as much detail as possible. Which level of measurement does s/he employ? Explain your answer.  2- Ten students completed an exam. Their scores were: 5, 7, 2, 1, 3, 4, 8, 8, 6, 6. What is the interquartile range (IQR)?  3- You conduct a study on eye color, and you question 550 people. 110 of them have brown eyes and 44% of them have blue eyes. What percentage of the people you questioned has blue or brown eyes? 4- The city mileages of 12 gasoline-powered midsize cars are: 18,15,16,19, 20,21,22,21,24,21,27,20. (a) Find if there are any outliers. (b) Find the five-number summary. That is max and min which are not outliers, first and third quartiles and Median. (c) Graph the boxplot. 5- A researcher wants to know what people in New York think of football. He asks ten people to rate their attitude towards football on a scale from 0 (do not like football at all) to 10 (like football a lot). The ratings are as follows: 1, 10, 6, 9, 2, 5, 6, 6, 5, 10. What is the standard deviation?  3- For each of the following, determine whether the group is a sample or a population. a. The participants in a study of a new cholesterol drug. b. The drivers who received a speeding ticket in Kansas City last month. c. People on welfare in Cook County (Chicago), Illinois. d. The 30 stocks that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Probability 1- Imagine you're at the beach. You are thirsty and decide to go to a beach stand to get some coke. When you arrive, you see there is a queue consisting of two girls and one boy. Unfortunately, the stand has only one coke left. You've learned that three in ten girls drink coke and 60 percent of boys drink coke. How likely is it that you will get the coke? 2- Twenty people take a statistics exam. Jonas scored five out of ten and Emma scored eight out of ten. Every score (1 to 10) is equally likely. What is the chance of a random person out of the people that took the exam scoring higher than Jonas, but lower than Emma? 3- You have a pot with 100 balls. 20 of them are red, 50 are blue and 30 are green. You decide to draw 5 balls from the pot without replacement (i.e. you don't put a ball back in the pot once it has been taken out). What is the probability of drawing five blue balls? (Give your answer to 3 decimal places).  4- A 52-card deck contains 13 cards from each of the four suits: clubs ♣, diamonds ♦, hearts ♥, and spades ♠. You deal four cards without replacement from a well shuffled deck. What is the probability that all 4 cards are clubs? 5- (a) How many different initials can be formed with 3 letters of the English alphabet? (b) How large must be the alphabet be in order that one million people can be identified by 3- letter initials. 6- (a) In how many ways can a committee of three be chosen from 20m people? (b) In how many ways can a president, a secretary and a treasurer be chosen? 7- If six dice are rolled, what is the probability that all show different faces? 8- Imagine you are at the beach. You are thirsty and decide to go to a beach stand to get some coke. When you arrive, you see there is a queue consisting of two girls and one boy. Unfortunately, the stand has only one coke left. You have learned that three in ten girls drink coke and 60 percent of boys’ drink coke. 9- You ask a couple of people at the beach what they think about the seagulls. You propose them the statement: Seagulls are annoying. Their responses are as follows:   20% strongly agree, 13% agree, 12% neutral, 50% disagree, 5% strongly disagree.  What is the chance of a random person responding with 'agree' given that he/she is not neutral?  9- The chance that the front light on your bike will fail is 0.2, the chance that your rear light will fail is 0.1 and the chance that both will fail is 0.04. What is the chance that both lights will work? (Give your answer to two decimal places.)  10- The following table shows the activities in a YMCA club.      Swimming  Basketball  Soccer  Total  Kids  120  40  60  220  Adults  100  20  30  150  Total  220  60  90  370      Find the following probabilities: (15 points)      a. P(person is an adult|person is swimming               b. P(person is swimming|person is an adult),      c. P(person is playing soccer| person is a kid).

Solution 1:
If a researcher wants to measure the height, then the best measurement of level used is the Ratio scale. Ratio scale give measurement about the q
uantitative data with absolute zero. Thus, by use of Ratio Level we can compare the values of the variable with highest level and lowest level.
Solution 2: The scores of the 10 students are given as follows:
5,7,2,1,3,4,8,8,6,6
Now arrange the data in the ascending order as follows:
1,2,3,4,5,6,6,7,8,8
First quartile,
Third quartile,
Thus, interquartile range, IQR

Solution 3: The survey is conducted on 550 people.
Number of people have brown eyes
Thus, percentage of people have brown eyes,
Percentage of people have blue eyes
Thus, percentage of people has blue eyes or brown eyes

Solution 4: The city mileages of 12 gasoline-powered midsize cars are given as follows:
18,15,16,19, 20,21,22,21,24,21,27,20
Arrange the data in increasing order
15,16,18,19,20,20,21,21,21,22,24,27
The first quartile,
Third quartile,

Thus, IQR

Thus, outliers’ limits are given as follows:
Since one value lies outside the range. Hence there is one outlier is present.
The minimum value in data
The maximum value in data
The median

Hence five number summary is given as follows:
The box plot is given as follows:
Solution 5: The responses of the people towards football are given as follows:
1, 10, 6, 9, 2, 5, 6, 6, 5, 10
The standard deviation is given as follows:
s
Here
For each of the following check the group is sample or population:
(A) The participants in a study of a new cholesterol drug. - Sample
Here some participants have been selected from a large population for the experimental study so this is a sample.
(B) The drivers who received a speeding ticket in Kansas City last month. - Population.
Here all such drivers who received such tickets have been taken into account. Hence it represents a population.
(C) People on welfare in Cook County (Chicago), Illinois. - Population.
Here all the people involved in welfare have been considered. Hence this represents a population.
(D) The 30 stocks that make up the Dow Jones...
