8. Answers to Ch. 2 Tests Scores Worksheet 1. 2. Median is the value that divides the data in ½. The median for this data is 40. 3. The mode is the value that occurs the most. The mode for this data 41. 4. Variance 5. Standard Deviation 6. Min.: 24 LQ: 36 Median: 40 UQ: 42 Max.:49

9. Answers to Ch. 2 Test Score Worksheet continued… 7. After the 55th person took the test and scored a five, the mean would go down to a 37.76. The median and mode stayed the same. 8. If the two 49’s were changed to 55’s the median would remain the same. *9. Mode is the highest in this set of data, but Median could be better since it is less affected by outliers. *10. The scores are skewed to the left. Looking at the boxplot the median is closer to the maximum. * Did anyone have different answers for these they’d like to share?

10. Review of 2.3 Measure of Center and Spread The following numbers are the highway gas mileages for 13 minicompact cars: 19, 29, 27, 28, 23, 26, 23, 23, 32, 31, 29, 26, and 22

12. Most Common mistakes from test. 4e and 6d • In her promotional practices, a queen ant has been accused of discriminating against ants with short antennae. During the preceding year, six workers were up for promotion. Four of them, with antenna lengths (in mm) of 65, 71, 72, and 73, were promoted. Two workers, with antenna lengths of 63 and 68, were bypassed for promotion. e. Is the evidence of antenna length discrimination relatively strong or relatively weak? Justify your conclusion.

13. The other most common mistake from the test: 6d 6. Refer to the situation described in Question 4: In the preceding year, six workers were up for promotion. Four of them, with antenna lengths (in mm) of 65, 71, 72, and 73, were promoted. Two workers, with antenna lengths of 63 and 68, were bypassed for promotion. a. List all possible pairs of antenna lengths for workers who might have been bypassed for promotion. …d. Is the evidence of antenna length discrimination relatively strong or relatively weak? Justify your conclusion. On pg 16 under Discussion of Logic of Inference: 0.05 is considered unlikely and in a typical court case, there would have to be a probability of 0.25 or less for it to be considered a discrimination.
