Exercises 80, 82, and 87 (Ch. 3)
Exercise 80* a. The times are a population because we are considering the wait times for all of the customers seated on Saturday night. b. To find the mean: µ = ∑ X N µ = 1021 25 µ = 40.84
To find the median:
The midpoint value of the population is 39.
c. To find the range:
Range = Largest Value – Smallest Value
Range = 67 – 23
Range = 44
To find the standard deviation: σ = √∑ (X - µ)2 N σ = √∑(X – 40.84) 2 = √5291.36 = √211.65 = 14.55 25 25
Exercise 82* a. To find the mean cost:
X = ∑fM = 7,060 = $141.20 N 50 b. To find the standard deviation: s = √∑f (M - X)2 = √33,728 = √688.33 = 26.24 n – 1 50 - 1 c. To find the proportion of costs within two standard deviations of the mean:
X ± 2s
141.2 + 2(26.24) = 193.68
141.2 - 2(26.24) = 88.72
The electricity costs are all almost all within $89 to $194.
Exercise 87* a. Select the variable selling price. 1. Mean = 221.1029
Median = 213.6
Standard Deviation = 47.1054 2. The mean selling price for a home in the Denver, CO area is about $221,103 while the median price is a bit lower at $213,600. With the standard deviation being high at $47,105, the range of home prices is quite big. b. Select the variable referring to the area of the home in square feet. 1. Mean = 2223.81
Median = 2200
Standard Deviation = 248.6594 2. The mean size of a home in the Denver, CO is about 2224 square feet while the median size is a bit lower at 2200 square feet. The standard deviation of 248.6594 is somewhat low indicating the homes being sold are all close to the same size.

Exercise 34
P(A3|B1) = P(A3)P(B1|A3) P(A1)P(B1|A1) + P(A2)P(B1|A2) + P(A3)P(B1|A3) = (.40)(.10) = .04 (.20)(.25) + (.40)(.05) + (.40)(.10) .11 = .3636
Exercise 36
P(A1) =
