Thuy Dau, Ngoc Bui, Sam Su, and Lan Voung conducted a survey as to how long customers at Lucky claimed to wait in the checkout line until their turn. Let \(X=\) time in line. Table below displays the ordered real data (in minutes):

a. Calculate the sample mean and the sample standard deviation.
b. Construct a histogram.
c. Draw a smooth curve through the midpoints of the tops of the bars.
In China, four-year-olds average three hours a day unsupervised. Most of the unsupervised children live in rural areas, considered safe. Suppose that the standard deviation is hours and the amount of time spent alone is normally distributed. We randomly select one Chinese four-year-old living in a rural area. We are interested in the amount of time the child spends alone per day.
a. In words, define the random variable
b.
c. Find the probability that the child spends less than one hour per day unsupervised. Sketch the graph, and write the probability statement.
d. What percent of children spend over ten hours per day unsupervised?
e. Seventy percent of the children spend at least how long per day unsupervised?
A normal distribution has a mean of 61 and a standard deviation of 15. What is the median?
IQ is normally distributed with a mean of and a standard deviation of . Suppose one individual is randomly chosen. Let of an individual.
a.
b. Find the probability that the person has an IQ greater than . Include a sketch of the graph, and write a probability statement
c. MENSA is an organization whose members have the top of all IQs. Find the minimum IQ needed to qualify for the MENSA organization. Sketch the graph, and write the probability statement.
d. The middle of IQs fall between what two values? Sketch the graph and write the probability statement.
About what percent of values lie between the second and third standard deviations (both sides)?
