Refer to the following frequency distribution for Questions 1, 2, 3, and 4.
The frequency distribution below shows the distribution for suspended solid concentration (in ppm) in river water
of 50 different waters collected in September 2011.
Concentration (ppm) Frequency
20 - 29 1
30 - 39 8
40 - 49 8
50 - 59 10
60 - 69 12
70 - 79 7
80 - 89 2
90 - 99 2
1. What percentage of the rivers had suspended solid concentration greater than or equal t
o 70? (5 pts)
About 16% of the rivers had suspended solid concentration greater than or equal to 70
Concentration greater than or equal to 70 = (


)
2. Calculate the mean of this frequency distribution. (10 pts)

80 - 89 2 84.5 169
90 - 99 2 94.5 189
SUM 50 2855




3. In what class interval must the median lie? Explain your answer. (You don’t have to find the median) (5 pts)
For median, first we need to determine the location of the median,
Location of the median = (n+1)/2 = (50 +1)/2 = 25.5
The median is located halfway between the 25th and the 26th numbers.
The median lies in 60-69 interval
The median is somewhere between 60 and 69. We know this because we can look at the Cumulative Frequency
and see that the 25th and the 26th numbers are in this class.




L = Lower limit of the class that contains the median = 10
n = Number of numbers = 30
CF = Number of numbers before the class containing the median = 9
f = number of numbers in the class containing the median = 12
i = class interval (size)




Median = 60.125
4. Assume that the smallest observation in this dataset is 20. Suppose this observation were incorrectly recorded
as 2 instead of 20. Will the mean increase, decrease, or remain the same? Will the median increase, decrease or
remain the same? Explain your answers. (5 pts)
Mean = 57.1
Sum of observations = 2855 (from the table above)
If the smallest observation is 20 and is misread as 2 instead of 20, then
Sum of observations = 2895 – 2+20 = 2873




= 57.5
Mean = 57.5
Clearly, we can see that the mean will increase if the smallest observation is 20. As far as median is concerned, it
will remain same as it is the middle most value of the dataset and is not affected by outliers.

Refer to the following information for Questions 5 and 6.
A coin is tossed 4 times. Let A be the event that the first toss is heads. Let B be the event that the third toss is heads.
5. What is the probability that the third toss is heads, given that the first toss is heads? (10 pts)
A coin is tossed 4 times. Let A be the event that the first toss is heads. Let B be the event that the third toss is
heads.
Probability (A) =




Probability (B) =




Probability (the third toss is heads, given that the first toss is heads) =




6. Are A and B independent? Why or why not? (5 pts)
Yes, A and B are independent. This is because both the events are mutually exclusive and nothing is related to
each other

A random sample of song playing times in seconds is as follows:
242 231 220 213 230 293
7. Find the standard deviation. (10 pts)
X
X -Mean
(X -Mean)^2
242 3.83 14.69
231 -7.17 51.36
220 -18.17 330.03
213 -25.17 633.36
230 -8.17 66.69
293 54.83 3006.69
Total 4102.83
Mean = 238.17







8. Are any of these playing times considered unusual in the sense of our textbook? Explain. Does this differ with
your intuition? Explain. (5 pts)
Sample mean = 238.17
2 standard deviations is the limit for "unusual":
2 standard deviations below is negative
2 standard deviations above is 238.17 + 2*28.65 = 295.46
So 293 minutes is not an "unusual" song playing times.
No; most playing song times are right around 5mins or little less.
