  2. Which measure of center is the only one that can be used with data at the nominal level of measurement? • Mean • Median • Mode

  3. Which of the following measures of center is not affected by outliers? • Mean • Median • Mode

  4. Find the mode for the given sample data. 79, 25, 79, 13, 25, 29, 56, 79 • 79 • 48.1 • 42.5 • 25

  5. Which is not true about the variance? • It is the square of the standard deviation. • It is a measure of the spread of data. • The units of the variance are different from the units of the original data. • It is not affected by outliers.

  6. Weekly sales for a company average $10,000 with a standard deviation of $450. Sales for the past week were $9050. This is • unusually high. • unusually low. • about right.

  7. In a data set with a range of 55.1 to 102.8 and 300 observations, there are 207 data points with values less than 88.6. Find the percentile for 88.6. • 32 • 116.03 • 69 • 670

  8. Which graphic display shows the least detailed information? • Histogram • Stem-and-leaf plot • Boxplot

  9. Last year, nine employees of an electronics company retired. Find the mean retirement age: 52, 50, 60, 68, 64, 50, 64, 58, 50. • 56.1 years • 56.7 years • 58.0 years • 57.3 years

  11. Jeanne is currently taking college zoology. The instructor often gives quizzes. On the past five quizzes, Jeanne got the following scores: 18, 16, 3, 1, 20. Find the variance. • 107.3 • 79.3 • 63.4 • 79.2

  12. The maximum value of a distribution is 47.5 and the minimum value is 4.0. Use the range rule of thumb to estimate the standard deviation. Round results to the nearest tenth. • 7.9 • 18.9 • 10.9 • 15.9

  13. Which score has the highest relative position: a score of 51.5 on a test for which the mean is 47 and s = 9; a score of 5.9 on a test for which the mean is 4.2 and s = 1.2; or a score of 460.8 on a test for which the mean is 444 and s = 42? • A score of 51.5 • A score of 460.8 • A score of 5.9
