Ms. Hall gave her class a 10-question multiple-choice quiz.

Let X=the number of questions that a randomly selected student in the class answered correctly. The computer output gives information about the probability distribution of X. To determine each student鈥檚 grade on the quiz (out of 100), Ms. Hall will multiply his or her number of correct answers by 5and then add 50.Let G=the grade of a randomly chosen student in the class.

Easy quiz

a. Find the median of G.

b. Find the interquartile range (IQR) of G.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The median is 92.5.

b. Interquartile range for G is5.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1 : Given Information    

Given :

X=the number of questions that a randomly selected student in the class answered correctly.

Ms. Hall multiplies his or her number of correct answers by 5and then add 50.

G=the grade of a randomly chosen student in the class.

02

Part(a) Step 2 : Simplification   

The grade is calculated by multiplying the number of right answers by 5and increasing by 50.

G=5X+50

This means that each data value in the Xdistribution is multiplied by the same constant 5and then multiplied by the same constant 50.

When the same constant is applied to each data value, the center of the distribution is also enlarged by the same constant.

Furthermore, if every data value is multiplied by the same constant, the distribution's center is multiplied by the same constant.

The median is the center's measurement, as we all know.

As a result, the median is :

Med.G=5Med.X+50=5(8.5)+50=92.5

03

Part(b) Step 1 : Given Information    

Given :

X= the number of questions that a randomly selected student in the class answered correctly.

Ms. Hall multiplies his or her number of correct answers by 5and then add 50.

G=the grade of a randomly chosen student in the class.

04

Part(b) Step 2 : Simplification   

IQRX=Q1-Q1=9-8=1is the interquartile range for X. The grade is calculated by multiplying the number of right answers by 5and increasing by 50.

5X+50=G

This means that each data value in the Xdistribution is multiplied by the same constant 5 and then multiplied by the same constant 50. The spread of the distribution is unaltered if every data value is multiplied by the same constant.

Furthermore, if every data value is multiplied by the same constant, the distribution's spread is also multiplied by the same constant. The interquartile range (IQR) is a measure of the spread, as we all know. As a result, double the interquartile range (IQR) by 5.

Thus,

IQRG=5(IQRX)=5(1)=5interquartile range for G

Spoofing (4.2) To collect information such as passwords, online criminals use "spoofing" to direct Internet users to fraudulent websites. In one study of Internet fraud, students were warned about spoofing and then asked to log into their university account starting from the university's home page. In some cases, the log-in link led to the genuine dialog box. In others, the box looked genuine but, in fact, was linked to a different site that recorded the ID and password the student entered. The box that appeared for each student was determined at random. An alert student could detect the fraud by looking at the true Internet address displayed in the browser status bar, but most just entered their ID and password.

a. Is this an observational study or an experiment? Justify your answer.

b. What are the explanatory and response variables? Identify each variable as categorical or quantitative.

Quick, click! An Internet reaction time test asks subjects to click their mouse button as soon as a light flashes on the screen. The light is programmed to go on at a randomly selected time after the subject clicks 鈥淪tart.鈥 The density curve models the amount of time Y (in seconds) that the subject has to wait for the light to flash.

a) Find and interpret P(Y>3.75)

b) What is Y? Explain your answer.

c) Find the value of k that makes this statement true:P(Yk)=0.38

Baby elk Refer to Exercise 77 . How surprising would it be for more than 4 elk in the sample to survive to adulthood? Calculate an appropriate probability to support your answer.

Ed and Adelaide attend the same high school but are in different math classes. The time E that it takes Ed to do his math homework follows a Normal distribution with mean 25 minutes and standard deviation 5 minutes. Adelaide's math homework time A follows a Normal distribution with mean 50 minutes and standard deviation 10 minutes. Assume that E and A are independent random variables.

a. Randomly select one math assignment of Ed's and one math assignment of Adelaide's. Let the random variable D be the difference in the amount of time each student spent on their assignments: D=A-E. Find the mean and the standard deviation of D.

b. Find the probability that Ed spent longer on his assignment than Adelaide did on hers.
