Researchers measured the data speeds for a particular smartphone carrier at 50 airports. The highest speed measured was 72.5 Mbps. The complete list of 50 data speeds has a mean of x=18.25 Mbps and a standard deviation of s=17.86 Mbps. a. What is the difference between carrier's highest data speed and the mean of all 50 data speeds? b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]? c. Convert the carrier's highest data speed to a z score. d. If we consider data speeds that convert to z scores between −2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the carrier's highest data speed significant?

The frequency distribution was obtained using a class width of 0.5 for data on cigarette tax rates. Use the frequency distribution to approximate the population mean and population standard deviation. Compare these results to the actual mean u = $1.506 and standard deviation o = $1.004.
