    5. An independent study of middle level managers employed at companies located in
    Atlanta, Georgia, was conducted to compare salaries of managers working in firms in
    Atlanta to the national average. The following data show the monthly salary in thousands
    of dollars, for a sample of 6 middle-level managers.
    14, 20, 15, 16, 19, 12.
    (a) Compare mean and median.
    (b) Using information in (a), can we say something about the distribution?
    (c) Draw a boxplot.

    7. There is an injured bear in the forest that needs to be moved! We need an idea of his
    weight but have no scale.

    Past studies have shown that this type of bears weigh an average of 200 pounds with an
    SD of 60 pounds. Now suppose we also know that this type of bears has an average neck
    circumference of 25 inches with a standard deviation of 5”. Also, for this type of bears,
    the correlation coefficient (r) between neck circumference and weight is 0.8. The injured
    bear has neck circumference of 30 inches.

    (a) How many SDs is bear’s neck circumference from the average bear neck
    circumference?
    (b) Can we say anything about the relationship between bear’s weight and its neck
    circumference?

    8. Suppose that a histogram for a data set on retail price per gallon of regular grade gasoline
    uses a horizontal scale of retail price per gallon in USD and a vertical scale of % per
    USD. If the height above an interval of width 3 USD is 7%, what percentage of the
    regular grade gasoline was sold in that interval?

    11. In a departmental meeting in your company, a team showed the following boxplot using
    the dataset on the number of days required to fill the orders for Dawson Distributor Inc.
    Based on this, find the IQR.
    Number of days

    200 210 220 230 240 250
