Continuous Uniform Distribution. In Exercises 5鈥�8, refer to the continuous uniform distribution depicted in Figure 6-2 and described in Example 1. Assume that a passenger is randomly selected, and find the probability that the waiting time is within the given range.
Between 2 minutes and 3 minutes
In Exercises 9鈥�12, find the indicated IQ score and round to the nearest whole number. The graphs depict IQ scores of adults, and those scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 (as on the Wechsler IQ test).
In Exercises 7鈥�10, use the same population of {4, 5, 9} that was used in Examples 2 and 5. As in Examples 2 and 5, assume that samples of size n = 2 are randomly selected with replacement.
Sampling Distribution of the Sample Median
a. Find the value of the population median.
b. Table 6-2 describes the sampling distribution of the sample mean. Construct a similar table representing the sampling distribution of the sample median. Then combine values of the median that are the same, as in Table 6-3. (Hint: See Example 2 on page 258 for Tables 6-2 and 6-3, which describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean.)
c. Find the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample median. d. Based on the preceding results, is the sample median an unbiased estimator of the population median? Why or why not?
Curving Test Scores A professor gives a test and the scores are normally distributed with a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 12. She plans to curve the scores.
a. If she curves by adding 15 to each grade, what is the new mean and standard deviation?
b. Is it fair to curve by adding 15 to each grade? Why or why not?
c. If the grades are curved so that grades of B are given to scores above the bottom 70% and below the top 10%, find the numerical limits for a grade of B.
d. Which method of curving the grades is fairer: adding 15 to each original score or using a scheme like the one given in part (c)? Explain.
Outliers For the purposes of constructing modified boxplots as described in Section 3-3, outliers are defined as data values that are above by an amount greater than or below by an amount greater than, where IQR is the interquartile range. Using this definition of outliers, find the probability that when a value is randomly selected from a normal distribution, it is an outlier.
