    A. Solve the following problems and show your complete solution.


    1. The number of confirmed flu cases (in thousands) for the 10 neighboring countries is
    shown. Find the mean, median, mode, variance, and standard deviation. (15 points)
    25, 23, 22, 21, 26, 27, 29, 23, 21, 23

    N=10

    Mean: =25+23+22+21+26+27+29+23+21+23
    10

    = 240
    10

    = 24

    Median
    ~X =Xn+ Xn+1
    2 2

    =X10 + X10+1
    2 2

    =X10 + X11
    2 2

    =X5 +
    =23 +23

    2. Grade Point Average (5 points)


    A student received an A in English Composition (3 credits), a C in Introduction to
    Psychology (3 credits), a B in Biology (4 credits), and a D in Physical Education
    (2 credits). Assuming A = 4 grade points, B = 3 grade points, C = 2 grade points, D = 1
    grade point, and F = 0 grade points, find the student’s grade point average.
    3. A random sample of employees from Carlos Hilado Memorial State College pledged
    the following donations to the projects of the Faculty Association:

    ₱ 200 ₱ 250 ₱ 500 ₱ 750 ₱ 250


    ₱ 1000 ₱ 1250 ₱ 1500 ₱ 700 ₱ 750
    ₱ 750 ₱ 2000 ₱ 1000 ₱ 1250 ₱ 1250
    ₱ 250 ₱ 750 ₱ 250 ₱ 1200 ₱ 250
    ₱ 500 ₱ 1250 ₱ 750 ₱ 500 ₱ 1200

    Find the mean, median and mode.

    B. State the null and alternative hypotheses and identify the following as one-tailed or two-
    tailed.
    1. A researcher studies gambling in young people. She thinks those who gamble spend
    more than $30 per day.
    • Ho: μ = $30 The null hypothesis (Ho) states that the mean will be equal to $30.

    • Ha: μ > $30 The alternate hypothesis (Ha) states that the mean will be greater than $30.

    • One-tailed

    2. A researcher wishes to see if police officers whose spouses work in law enforcement
    have a lower score on a work stress questionnaire than the average score of 120.
    • Ho: μ = 120 The null hypothesis (Ho) states that the mean will be equal to 120

    • Ha: μ < 120 The alternate hypothesis (Ha) states that the mean will be less than 120.

    • One tailed

    3. A teacher feels that if an online textbook is used for a course instead of a hardback
    book, it may change the students’ scores on a final exam. In the past, the average final
    exam score for the students was 83.
    • Ho: μ = 83 The null hypothesis (Ho) states that the mean will be equal to 83

    • Ha: μ ≠ 83 The alternative hypothesis (Ha) states that the mean will not be equal to 83.

    •Two- tailed

    4. A medical researcher is interested in finding out whether a new medication will have
    any undesirable side effects. The researcher is particularly concerned with the pulse
    rate of the patients who take the medication. The mean pulse rate for the population
    under study is 82 beats per minute.
    • Ho: μ = 82 The null hypothesis (Ho) states that the mean will be equal to 82
    • Ha: μ ≠ 82 The alternate hypothesis (Ha) states that the mean will not be equal to 82.

    • Two- tailed

    5. A chemist invents an additive to increase the life of an automobile battery. The mean
    lifetime of the automobile battery without the additive is 36 months.
    • HO: N• 36 The null hypothesis (Ho) states that the mean will be oqual to 36

    • Ha: μ> 36 The alternate hypothesis (Ha) states that the nean will be grater than 36

    • One- tailed

    6. A contractor wishes to lower heating bills by using a special type of insulation in


    houses. If the average of the monthly heating bills is $78, her hypotheses about
    heating costs with the use of insulation.

    • H0: M- $78 The mull hypothesis (Ho) states that the mean wil be equal to $78

    • Ha: u< S78 The alternate hypothesis (Ha) states that the mean wili be lower than

    $76

    • One- tailed
