1. (15) The number of cars that went through a car wash during the noon

hour over each of the past 8 days are shown as follows:

6 3 9 6 6 5 4 1 .

Compute the following values for these sample:

~, fourth spread f(f= upper fourth - lower fourth), variance s2 , mean , median xs s

and the standard deviation s.

2. (15) An advertising executive is studying television viewing habits of married men and women during prime-time hours. On the basis of past viewing records, the executive has determined that during prime time, husbands are watching television 60% of the time. It has also been determined that when the husband is watching television, 40% of the time the wife is also watching. When the husband is not watching television, 30% of the time the wife is watching television. Find the probability that

(a) the wife is watching television in prime time.

(b) if the wife is watching television, the husband is also watching television.

3. (10) The number x of people who arrive at a cashier’s counter in a bank during a specified period of time exhibits a Poisson probability distribution. Suppose you estimate that the average arrival rate is one person per minute.

(a) What is the probability that in a given minute the number of arrivals will equal 3 ? (b) What is the probability that at most 2 people arrive in a 2-minute period ?

4. (15) The Nelson Company makes the machines that automatically dispense soft drinks into cups. Many national fastfood chains such as McDonald’s and Burger King use these machines. A study by the company shows that the actual volume of soft drink that goes into a 16-ounce cup per fill is normally distributed with a mean of 16 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.35 ounces. A new 16-ounce cup that is being considered for use actually holds 16.7 ounces of drink.

(a) Calulate the proportion of cups that will be “overfilled” by the automatic dispenser. (b) The company wishes to adjust the dispenser so that the overfill percentage is no greater than 0.5%. Determine the mean required to fulfill this wish.

(c) If the mean is set at 16 ounces, calculate the standard deviation that would be

required to meet the stipulation in part (b).
