Explanation Given: The following are the numbers of home runs hit by the home run champions in the National League for the years 1975 to 1989 and for 2001 to 2015. a) 1975–1989: 38, 38, 52, 40, 48, 48, 31, 37, 40, 36, 37, 37, 49, 39, 47 b) 2001–2015: 73, 49, 47, 48, 51, 58, 50, 48, 47, 42, 39, 41, 36, 37, 42 Graph: i) Consider the given frequency distribution table, 1975–1989: 38, 38, 52, 40, 48, 48, 31, 37, 40, 36, 37, 37, 49, 39, 47 The minimum value in the data set is 31 and maximum value is 52. For finding the median first arrange the data set in increasing order, 31 , 36 , 37 , 37 , 37 , 38 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 40 , 47 , 48 , 48 , 49 , 52 The median is the middle value. The data set has 15 values. So, the middle value is 15 + 1 2 = 16 2 = 8 t h value. 31 , 36 , 37 , 37 , 37 , 38 , 38 _ Lower half , 39 _ m e d i a n , 40 , 40 , 47 , 48 , 48 , 49 , 52 _ Upper half The median is 39. First quartile is the median of lower half values. Lower half has 7 values. Therefore, first quartile is given by 4 th value in the lower half which is seen in the above step. So, first quartile is 37. Third quartile is the median of upper half values. Upper half has 7 values. Therefore, third quartile is given by 4 th value in the upper half which is seen in the above step. So, third quartile is 48. Five number summary is, Minimum 31 First quartile 37 Median 39 Third quartile 48 Maximum 52 Steps for construction of Box-whiskers plot 1. Determine the values for the five-number summary. 2. Draw a horizontal axis from the minimum value to the maximum value. 3. Draw a rectangular box over the axis from Q 1 to Q 3 . The height of the box is not important. 4. Draw a vertical line in the box where the median is located (note that it might not be in the middle of the box). 5. Draw horizontal lines extending from the edges of the boxes (the quartiles) to the minimum and maximum values. These are the whiskers. Five number summary is 31, 37, 39, 48, 52

The table shows the distribution, by age, of a random sample of 3160 moviegoers ages 12-74. If one moviegoer is randomly selected from this population, find the probability, expressed as a simplified fraction, that the moviegoer is not in the 65-74 age range. The probability is (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.) Age Distribution of Moviegoers Ages Number 12-24 1090 25-44 860 45-64 890 65-74 320

Use the spinner shown. It is equally probable that the pointer will land on any one of the six regions. If the pointer lands on a borderline, spin again. If the pointer is spun twice, find the probability that it will land on yellow and then yellow. Find the probability that the spinner will land on yellow and then yellow. The probability is (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.) Green Red Gray Red Blue Yellow Q ☑
