1. A multiple-choice test has 10 questions, each with 4 choices. If a student guesses randomly on each question, calculate the probability of getting exactly 5 correct answers. 2.Given a normally distributed variable with a mean of 90 and a standard deviation of 18, calculate the z-score for a data point of 105.

You have a sample of 48 randomly selected Vancouverites. On average (the sample mean), the people in your sample spent 425 hours eating food in 2020. The least time a person in the sample spent eating food in 2020 is 367 hours and the most time a person in the sample spent eating food in 2020 is 484 hours. What would be your best guess about the population standard deviation of the time a Vancouverite spent eating food in 2020? Give the number and explain (including assumptions you make about the population distribution).
A developmental psychologist is interested in studying how long babies gaze at a photograph of a human face. To test this question, she shows a picture to a sample of six babies and records the length of their gaze in seconds. The data are as follows: 12, 17, 18, 20, 20, 29. Calculate the mean, median, mode, range, variance and standard deviation for the sample.
