z Scores. In Exercises 5-8, express all z scores with two decimal places.
5. ATL Data Speeds For the Verizon airport data speeds (Mbps) listed in Data Set 32 “Airport Data Speeds” in Appendix B, the highest speed of 77.8 Mbps was measured at Atlanta’s (ATL) international airport. The complete list of 50 Verizon data speeds has a
a. What is the difference between Verizon’s data speed at Atlanta’s international airport and the mean of all of Verizon’s data speeds?
b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]?
c. Convert Verizon’s data speed at Atlanta’s international airport 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 Verizon’s speed at Atlanta significant?
6. PHL Data Speeds Repeat the preceding exercise using the Verizon data speed of 0.8 Mbps at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).

- AP1.1 You look at real estate ads for houses in Sarasota, Florida. Many houses range from $200,000 to $400,000 in price. The few houses on the water, however, have prices up to $15 million. Which of the following statements best describes the distribution of home prices in Sarasota? The distribution is most likely skewed to the left, and the mean is greater than the median. The distribution is most likely skewed to the left, and the mean is less than the median. The distribution is roughly symmetric with a few high outliers, and the mean is approximately equal to the median. The distribution is most likely skewed to the right, and the mean is greater than the median. The distribution is most likely skewed to the right, and the mean is less than the median.arrow_forwardDuring busy political seasons, many opinion polls are conducted.
