Chapter 10.2, Problem 4Q

An army enlistment officer categorizes potential recruits by IQ into three groups- class I: <  9 0 class II: 90 110 , and class III: >11 0 . Given that the IQs in the population from which the recruits are normally distributed with μ = 100 and σ = 16 , calculate the probability that of seven enlistees, two will belong to class I, four to class II, and to class III.

14 A survey is conducted to determine whether would prefer to work at home, if given the 20 office employees of a certain company chance. The overall results are shown in the first bar graph, and the results broken down by gender are presented in the second. a. Interpret the results of each graph. b. Discuss the added value in including gen- der in the second bar graph. (The second bar graph in this problem is called a side by side bar graph and is often used to show results broken down by two or more variables.) c. Compare the side by side bar graph with the two pie charts that you made for Question 6. Which of the two methods is best for comparing two groups, in your opinion? A Would you prefer to work at home? (n=20) 60 50 40 Percent 20 30 20 30 10 0 No Yes Prefer to work at home? (10 males, 10 females) 80 Percent 60 00 40 40 20- No Yes No Yes Female Male
