SupposeBetween what values does of the data lie? The range of values is centered at the mean of the distribution(i.e., –3).
Table 6.4 shows a sample of the maximum capacity (maximum number of spectators) of sports stadiums. The table does not include horse-racing or motor-racing stadiums.

a. Calculate the sample mean and the sample standard deviation for the maximum capacity of sports stadiums (the data).
b. Construct a histogram.
c. Draw a smooth curve through the midpoints of the tops of the bars of the histogram.
The length of time to find it takes to find a parking space at 9 A.M. follows a normal distribution with a mean of five minutes and a standard deviation of two minutes. If the mean is significantly greater than the standard deviation, which of the following statements is true?
I. The data cannot follow the uniform distribution.
II. The data cannot follow the exponential distribution..
III. The data cannot follow the normal distribution.
a. I only
b. II only
c. III only
d. I, II, and III
In the 1992 presidential election, Alaska’s 40 election districts averaged 1,956.8 votes per district for President Clinton.
The standard deviation was 572.3. (There are only 40 election districts in Alaska.) The distribution of the votes per district for President Clinton was bell-shaped. Let X = number of votes for President Clinton for an election district.
a. State the approximate distribution of X.
b. Is 1,956.8 a population mean or a sample mean? How do you know?
c. Find the probability that a randomly selected district had fewer than 1,600 votes for President Clinton. Sketch the graph and write the probability statement.
d. Find the probability that a randomly selected district had between 1,800 and 2,000 votes for President Clinton.
e. Find the third quartile for votes for President Clinton.
