Answer to Problem 163E
Solution: Internet utilization has considerably expanded from 2010 to 2011 and the data for internet use in the year 2010 is right skewed.
Explanation of Solution
The data for internet use in the year 2010 is right skewed. The change in internet use from 2010 to 2011 and the percent change are also right skewed. Moreover, there is a gap between the percentage change and it is obtained from the histogram. For every one of the data, numerical summary appears the most ideal approach to depict the distribution. Internet utilization has considerably expanded from 2010 to 2011.

- In order to find probability, you can use this formula in Microsoft Excel: The best way to understand and solve these problems is by first drawing a bell curve and marking key points such as x, the mean, and the areas of interest. Once marked on the bell curve, figure out what calculations are needed to find the area of interest. =NORM.DIST(x, Mean, Standard Dev., TRUE). When the question mentions “greater than” you may have to subtract your answer from 1. When the question mentions “between (two values)”, you need to do separate calculation for both values and then subtract their results to get the answer. 1. Compute the probability of a value between 44.0 and 55.0. (The question requires finding probability value between 44 and 55. Solve it in 3 steps.
