I am going to check your "starting" a) This student sent/ received 200 texts in the two-day period. Their text behavior is located at approximately the 80th percentile. This means that 80% of the students sent/received less than 200 texts during the twoday period. b) The median number of texts is the 50th percentile which is approximately 105 texts sent/received. 2

3 a) Maryland has approximately 13% foreign-born residents. This is approximately the 73rd% tile for the 50 states. b) The 30th%tile is approximately 4% of resident foreign-born. a) Q1 25th%tile is approximately $19 Q3 75th%tile is approximately $48 b) $19.50 is 26th %tile IQR =

4 z = 4.15 z = 4.26 Williams z = 4.07 All of the hitters were at least 4 standard deviation above their respective means but Ty Williams was the highest with z = = 4

5 a) 29 players... Brad is position number 23 so... = th %tile 75% of the player made less money than Brad made in the 2008 team /29 = z = Brad's salary is 0.79 standard deviations above the mean. X = X

6 Q1 25th%tile is approximately Q3 75th%tile is approximately IQR =

7 The distribution of travel times is not symmetric and is skewed to the right. The center is approximately at 20 minutes. The data spreads from 0 minutes to 90 minutes with a range of 90 minutes. The data should be analyzed using the 5 number summary. There are many gaps after 40 minutes and 2 to 5 potential outliers at the top end. 7

21 Because this is a SYMMETRIC uniform density curve mean = median And its' location is in the center of the density curve x = 1.5 mile You could also solve for b in the equation b(1/3) = 0.5 Sketch density curves that might describe the distributions with the following shapes. b) Single peak and skewed to the left. 21
