Sleep z Score A larger sample of 50 sleep times (hours) has a mean of 6.3 hours and a standard deviation of 1.4 hours. What is the z score for a sleep time of 5 hours?
In Exercises 29鈥�32, find the mean of the data summarized in the frequency distribution. Also, compare the computed means to the actual means obtained by using the original list of data values, which are as follows: (Exercise 29) 36.2 years; (Exercise 30) 44.1 years; (Exercise 31) 224.3; (Exercise 32) 255.1..

Critical Thinking. For Exercises 5鈥�20, watch out for these little buggers. Each of these exercises involves some feature that is somewhat tricky. Find the (a) mean, (b) median, (c) mode, (d) midrange, and then answer the given question
Sales of LP Vinyl Record Albums Listed below are annual U.S. sales of vinyl record albums (millions of units). The numbers of albums sold are listed in chronological order, and the last entry represents the most recent year. Do the measures of center give us any information about a changing trend over time?
0.3 0.6 0.8 1.1 1.1 1.4 1.4 1.5 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.2 0.9 0.9 1 1.9 2.5 2.8 3.9 4.6 6.1
In Exercises 21鈥�24, find the coefficient of variation for each of the two samples; then compare the variation. (The same data were used in Section 3-1.) 21. Blood Pressure A sample of blood pressure measurements is taken from Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥� in Appendix B, and those values (mm Hg) are listed below. The values are matched so that 10 subjects each have a systolic and diastolic measurement.
Systolic: 118 128 158 96 156 122 116 136 126 120
Diastolic: 80 76 74 52 90 88 58 64 72 82
In Exercises 5鈥�20, find the range, variance, and standard deviation for the given sample data. Include appropriate units (such as 鈥渕inutes鈥�) in your results. (The same data were used in Section 3-1, where we found measures of center. Here we find measures of variation.) Then answer the given questions.
Diamond Ring Listed below are the amounts (dollars) it costs for marriage proposal packages at the different Major League Baseball stadiums. Five of the teams don鈥檛 allow proposals. Are there any outliers, and are they likely to have much of an effect on the measures of variation?
