A survey was conducted to measure the number of hours adults spend sleeping each week. In the survey, the number of hours was normally distributed, with an average of 7 hours and a standard deviation of 1 hour. One adult was chosen at random. Which of the alternatives below corresponds to the probability that this participant will spend more than 10 hours a week sleeping? a) 0,9987% b) 13% c) 99,87% d) 0,13%
The data gathered from a survey of a random group of people about their smoking habits and their bodily weights are: a11 =159, a12 =203, a13 =10, a21 =285, a22 =500, a23 =38, a31 214, a32 -300, a33 =28, a41 =113, a42 =189, a43 =30, a51 =467, a52 1,969, a53 71 The following contingency table was created based on the above data, where you will need to calculate the grand total, the total for each row, and the total for each column on your own before answering the question that appears after the table.

SWIMMER’S FLEXIBILITY STUDY Swimming requires complete body movement as defined in sports science. A swimmer’s flexibility helps in his/her movement in water, thus making him/her a faster swimmer. In a study conducted to determine if there is an improvement in swim speed after doing flexibility exercise, 15 swimmers of the same characteristics were randomly selected. They were asked to do a 25-m freestyle and their swim speed (in seconds) were recorded. After this, a flexibility exercise was done. All the swimmers were then asked to do another 25-m freestyle and their swim speed (in seconds) were also recorded. The data collected are given below and can also be found in the worksheet “swim_speed”of excel file “exer3_data.xlsx”. R outputs can be found in the file “exer3_outputs.pdf”.(Use before – after in your computations Swimmer 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Before 16.87 19.42 20.04 22.82 24.24 17.76 23.91 17.17 After 15.82 18.47 20.43 21.76 23.88 18.12 20.96 16.03 Swimmer 9 10 11 12…
10) Last school year, the student body of a local university consisted of 35% freshmen, 24% sophomores, 26% juniors, and 15% seniors. A sample of 300 students taken from this year's student body showed the following number of students in each classification. Freshmen 90 Sophomores 60 Juniors 90 Seniors 60 We are interested in determining whether or not there has been a significant change in the classifications between the last school year and this school year. The expected frequency of seniors is a. 45 b. 35 c. 65 d. 55
