Exercise 5
IQ scores of all adults who take the Weschler IQ TEST have a population mean
of 100 and a population standard deviation of 15. The distribution of IQ scores is
normal. Find the x values that corresponds to the 68%, 95% and 99.7% mentioned
in the Empirical rule.
Exercise 6
The height of a sample of 100 5th grade students at a local school forms a bell
shaped graph. The heights have a sample mean of 42.5 inches and a sample
standard deviation of 5 inches. Find the x values that correspond to the 68%, 95%
and 99.7% mentioned in the Empirical rule.
Exercise 7
Suppose a distribution has mean µ = 17.4 and standard deviation σ = 3.2.
If Chebyshev's theorem tell us that 81.1% of the values are between a and b
(symmetrical about the mean), then what are these limits?

Exercise 10
The number of hours per week that the television is turned on is determined for
each family in a sample. The mean of the data is 38 hours and the median is 34.2
hours. Twenty-four of the families in the sample turned on the television for 23
hours or less for the week. The 9th percentile of the data is 23 hours. Decide if
this statement is True of False.
a) The 56th percentile is less than 33 hours.
b) Approximate how many families are in the sample?
c) Approximate 134 families turned on their television for less than 38 hours.
