The accompanying data provide the heights of some singers in a chorus, collected so that the singers could be positioned on stage with shorter ones in front and taller ones in back. The histogram displays these data. Complete parts a and b below. Click here to view the data. Click here to view the histogram. a) Describe the distribution. O A. The distribution is unimodal. Its mode is near 60 inches. O B. The distribution is multimodal. Its modes are near 60 inches, 65 inches, and 71 inches. O C. The distribution has no noticeable modes. O D. The distribution is bimodal. Its modes are near 65 inches and 71 inches. b) What is the most likely explanation for the features seen in the distribution? O A. The shape of the distribution is probably due to a mix of men and women in the group. O B. The shape of the distribution is probably due to the fact that some of the singers wore heels and some did not. O C. Height data always takes this shape because some people are tall and some are short. O D. Height data does not usually take this shape, but it does in this case because of how the singers are organized on stage. - X Histogram of data of Singers 64 68 72 76 Height (in.)

Is this criticism valid? a) What is the 95% confidence interval? The 95% confidence interval is from % to%. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) b) What does the confidence interval say about seafood sold in the country? O A. There is a 95% chance that the true proportion of mislabeled seafood is in the interval. O B. In 95% of samples of seafood sold in the country, the proportion that is mislabeled will be in the interval. O C. We are 95% confident that the interval captures the true proportion of all seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled. c) Is the government spokesperson's criticism valid? O A. Yes, the sample size must be at least 10% of the population, or the results cannot be generalized. O B. Yes, until another study produces a similar interval, the results cannot be generalized. O C. No, as long as the necessary assumptions and conditions were met, the results can be generalized.During routine screening, a doctor notices that 19% of her adult patients show higher than normal levels of glucose in their blood-a possible warning signal for diabetes, Hearing this, some medical researchers decide to conduct a large-scale study, hoping to estimate the proportion to within 4% with 99% confidence. How many randomly selected adults must they test? The number of adults that should be tested is (Round up to the nearest whole number.)An incoming MBA student took placement exams in economics and mathematics. In economics, she scored 82 and in math 87. The overall results on the economics exam had a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 9, while the mean math score was 69, with a standard deviation of 12. On which exam did she do better compared with the other students? Since she scored standard deviations the mean in economics and standard deviations the mean in mathematics, she did better on the exam. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)Consider the accompanying data examining the heights and arm spans of randomly selected students. Complete parts a through g below. Click the icon to view the data and regression analysis. a) Write the regression equation. Define the variables used in your equation. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b) Interpret the slope in context. Choose the correct answer below. O A. It means that, on average, the Height will equal b, multiplied by the Arm Span. O B. It means that, on average, an additional increase of b, Height is associated with 1 additional cm of Arm Span. O C. It means that, on average, an additional increase of b, Arm Span is associated with 1 additional cm of height. O D. It means that, on average, the Arm Span is approximately b, multiplied by the Height. c) What does the y-intercept mean in this context? Is it meaningful? O A. It means that, on average, the Arm Length will equal by multiplied by the Height of the student. It is meaningful because by is greater than zero. O B. It means that, on average, the expected Arm Span is bo when a student has a Height of 0 cm. It is not meaningful in this context, because it is impossible for a student to have a height of 0 cm. O C. It would mean that, on average, the minimum Arm Length for a student with Height 171 cm is by. It is meaningful because bo is greater than zero. D. It means that, on average, an additional increase of bo in Arm Span is associated with a 1 cm increase in Height. It is not meaningful in this context, because the value of bo is much larger than by . d) If a student is 177 cm tall, what is his predicted Arm Span? His predicted arm span is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) e) If this 177 cm tall student has an actual Arm Span of 177 cm, what is the value of the residual? Does he have shorter or longer arms than predicted? The residual is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Does he have shorter or longer arms than predicted? longer shorter the same as predicted f) If a student has a residual of 4 cm and a Height of 160 cm, what is his actual arm span? His actual arm span is. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) 9) State and interpret the R value in context. The R2 value is 1%. This means that |% of the in is explained successfully by using (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)You drop by your local independent coffee shop on your way to class.

The mean wage is $ The median wage is $ b) How many employees earn more than the mean wage? c) Which measure of center best describes a typical wage at this company, the mean or the median? O A. The median best describes the typical wage. The mean is not a good measure of center because it is affected by the multitude of duplicate salaries. O B. The mean best describes the typical wage. The median is not a good measure of center because it is affected by the two higher salaries. O C. The mean best describes the typical wage. The median is not a good measure of center because it is affected by the multitude of duplicate salaries. O D. The median best describes the typical wage. The mean is not a good measure of center because it is affected by the two higher salaries. d) Which measure of spread would best describe the payroll, the range, the IOR, or the standard deviation? Why? O A. The standard deviation is the better measure of spread. The IQR and the range are both affected by the two higher salaries. O B. The range is the better measure of spread. Neither the IQR nor the standard deviation account for the extreme values. O C. The standard deviation is the better measure of spread. Neither the IQR nor the range account for every data value. O D. The IQR is the better measure of spread. The standard deviation and the range are both affected by the two higher salaries
