1. A basketball player has the following points for a sample of seven games: 11, 15, 22, 8, 10, 12, 20.
Compute the following measures (show your work):
a. mean b. standard deviation

a. The mean = ∑X/n = 98/7 = 14

b. The standard deviation = √𝒗𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆

𝟐
Variance = ∑(X - X̅)2/ n-1 = 166/6 = 27
𝟑

𝟐
Hence: St. Deviation = √𝟐𝟕 = 5.26

15 1 1
22 8 64
8 -6 36
10 -4 16
12 -2 4
20 6 36
∑ = 166

2. We found the following information for a sample of x and y:


∑(𝑥 − 𝑥̅ )(𝑦 − 𝑦̅) = − 120, ∑( 𝑥 − 𝑥̅ )2 = 100, ∑( 𝑦 − 𝑦̅)2 = 225, n = 26
Find the coefficient of correlation (r) and interpret your answer (show your work).

3. If Z is a standard normal random variable, find the value Z0 for which:
a. P (Z ˂ Z0) = 0.35 b. P (Z > Z0) = 0.82

a. P (Z ˂ Z0) = 0.35 → P (Z0 ˂ Z ˂0) = 0.5 – 0.35 = 0.15

Z0 = − 0.39

b. P (Z > Z0) = 0.82 → P (Z0 ˂ Z ˂0) = 0.82 – 0.5 = 0.32

Z0 = − 0.92

4. A population has a mean of 50 and variance of 100. If a random sample of 64 is taken, what is the
probability that the sample mean is each of the following:
a. at most 52
b. at most 47.5
c. at least 46.8
d. between 48.5 and 52.5
e. between 50.6 and 51.3

a. P ( 𝑿

̅ < 47.5) = P (Z < 𝟒𝟕.𝟓𝟏𝟎− 𝟓𝟎 ) = P ( Z < − 2)


b. P ( 𝑿

c. P ( 𝑿

̅ < 52.5) = P ( 𝟒𝟖.𝟓𝟏𝟎− 𝟓𝟎 ˂ Z < 𝟓𝟐.𝟓𝟏𝟎− 𝟓𝟎 ) = P (− 1.2 ˂ Z < 2)


d. P (48.5 ˂ 𝑿
