1. A study compared medication and chicken soup for subjects suffering from influenza. It was found that among 73 patients treated with medication, there was a 92% success rate. Among 83 patients treated with chicken soup, there was a 72% success rate. Calculations using those results showed this if there really is no difference in success rates between medication and chicken soup, then there is about 1 chance in 1000 of getting success rates like the ones obtained in this study.
a. Should we conclude that medication is better than chicken soup for influenza?
b. Does the result have statistical significance? Why or why not?
c. Does the result have practical significance?
d. Should medication be the recommended treatment for influenza?
2. What is the level of measurement for each of the following:
a. Monthly temperatures for Silver Spring, MD
b. Companies that produced movies in 2013
c. Rankings of horses in race
d. Salaries for statistics professors
3. What type of sampling is being used for each of the following:
a. The host of a radio station asks listeners to call in and give their opinions about DC statehood.
b. In order to estimate the percentage of defects, a manager selects every 23rd laptop that comes off the assembly line starting with the fifth one and continuing until she has 75.
c. I am being audited by the IRS. I was told that it was because I was randomly selected from all women in my age group.
4. The following data were collected on amounts of radon in basements in my development.

a. What is the class width?
b. What are the class midpoints?
c. What are the class boundaries?
d. Create a histogram for the data.
5. The following data show the number of students per grade level in a private pre K-8 charter school:
34 39 36 43 51 53 63 62 79 73
What is the 5-number summary?
Construct a boxplot for the data.
6. A simple random sample of the cost of laptops (in dollars) is as follows:
714 751 664 789 818 779 698 836 753 834 693 802
As of this writing, the average price was reported to be 678. Based on these results, is a laptop cost of 500 unusual? Why or why not? You need to base your answer on your calculated standard deviation, which needs to be given in your solution.
7. (Worth 2 points) In my third grade class, the heaviest child weights 92.95 pounds. The other children in the class have weights with a mean of 69.6 pounds and a standard deviation of 2.8 pounds.
a. What is the difference between the heaviest child and the mean weight of the other children?
b. How many standard deviations is that (the difference found in part (a))?
c. Convert the heaviest weight to a z-score.
d. Based on your answer to (c), does the heaviest child’s weight meet the criterion of being unusual? Why or why not?
8. (Worth 1.5 points) A survey was conducted asking people who they were going to vote for in the November presidential election. Participants were randomly selected. Data were then analyzed by how many participants in each age group responded. Results were as follows:

a. If 3 children are randomly selected, what is the probability that they are all girls and they all like fall best using replacement?
b. If 3 children are randomly selected, what is the probability that they are all girls and they all like fall best without using replacement?
c. Without replacement, what is the probability that 3 children are selected are boys who like spring best?
11. (Worth 1.5 points) Twenty students are eligible for free after-school tutoring. A simple random sample of five is selected.
a. How many different simple random selections are possible?
b. What is the probability of each simple random sample?

13. (Worth 2 points) A computer manufacturer claims that the chips it makes are so accurate that there is only a 1/2000 probability of getting a defective chip. A salesman at a local store purchased 5 chips and claimed that 2 of them were defective.
a. Find the probability of getting exactly 2 defective chips when buying 5 chips.
b. Find the probability of getting at least 2 defective chips when buying 5 chips.
