If a committee looks at all ways of pairing up one male with one female officer, what will be the mean and standard deviation for the difference in heights for the set of possible partners? 17. Given that 58% of all gold dealers believe next year will be a good one to speculate in South African gold coins, in a simple random sample of 150 dealers, what is probability that between 55% and 60% believe that it will be a good year to speculate? 18. What is the purpose of blocking? 19. IF blocking was employed what difficulties could there be in drawing inferences? 20. What is the best way to sample populations?

You take the SAT and get 1970 and the mean of everyone taking the SAT is 1940 with a sd 50. a friend takes the ACT and gets a 28 and the mean of everyone taking the ACT is 26.9 with a sd of .8 Who did better and why? 22. You hit darts in the bulls eye 67% of the time. Whats the probability of getting exactly 5 out of 9 shots? 23. What is the amount change in response variables when explanatory variable up 1 called? 25% of a flood chance, 23% of a landslide chance, 34% of both happening at the same time 24. find P(Landslide|flood) 25. find P(no flood|land) 27. Explain in a detailed process how to calculate SSRESID? And SSTO 28. What is the formula for calculating confidence intervals? 29. What percent of the total population is represented between the z scores -1.7- .3 30. What is standard deviation? 31. Is the median affected when outliers are manipulated? 32. x P(x) 1 ? 2 .2 3 .3 4 ?

y P(y) 1 .4 2 ? 3 .1 If x and y are independent and the joint probability P (x=1, y=2) =.1 what is p(x=4)?
33. Each of the 29 NBA teams has 12 players. A sample of 58 players is to be chosen as follows. Each team will be asked to place 12 cards with its player chosen as follows. Each team will be asked to place 12 cards with its players names into a hat and randomly draw out two names. The two names from each team will be combined to make up the sample. Will this method result in a simple random sample of the 348 basketball players? 34. To find out the average occupancy size of student rented apartments, a researcher picks up a simple random sample of 100 such apartments. Even after one follow up visit, the interviewer is unable to make contact with anyone in 27 of these apartments. Concerned about nonresponse bias, the researcher chooses another simple random sample and instructs the interviewer to continue this procedure until contact is made with someone in a total of 100 apartments. The average occupancy size in the final 100- apartment sample is 2.78. Is this estimate too low or high? 35. 1. Although 18% of the student body is minorities, in a random sample of 20 students, 5 are minorities. 2. In a survey about sexual habits, an embarrassed student deliberately gives the wrong answers. 3. A surveyor mistakenly records answers to one question in the wrong space. Which of these is true?

36. If you were to sample a population by telephone what factor prohibits you from drawing accurate conclusions? 37. An insurance company charges 800 annually for car insurance. The policy specifies that the company will pay 1000 for a minor accident and 5000 for a major accident. If the probability of a motorist having a minor accident during the year is.2, and of having a major accident, .05 how much can the insurance company expect to make on a policy? 38. A coffee machine can be adjusted to deliver any fixed number of ounces of coffee. If the machine has a standard deviation in delivery equal to .4 of an ounce, what should be the mean setting so that the 8 ounce cup will overflow only .5% of the time. 39. A factory dumps an average of 2.43 tons of pollutants into a river every week. If the standard deviation is .88 tons, what is the probability that in a week more than 3 tons are dumped? 40. When the data is skewed right is the mean greater than the median or the other way around? 41. What is under coverage bias/nonresponse bias? 42. 75% families pay $75. And 15% families pay $150. Find the mean and standard deviation of the data 43. There is a .43 chance of you beating your opponent in chess, what is the probability you beat him 4 or more times 44.
