Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) it's just mean, variance

so here it's just 12,6.25

b.) For the x bar thing just divide the variance by the number of people (mean stay the same)

the variance is then (2.5²/34)= .1838

which makes it (12,.1838)

c.) here we don't use x bar (and so it's normal (12,2.5²))

p(11.6) = (11.6-12)/(2.5)= -.16 = .4364

p(12.4)= (12.4-12)/2.5 = .16= .5636

.5636-.4364= .1272

d.) here we use x bar because it's asking for an average so it's normal (12, .1838)

same deal

p(11.6)=(11.6-12)/√.1838= -.93295= .1762

p(12.4)= (12.4-12)/√.1838= .93295= .8238

.8238-.1762= .6476

d.) no because they're probably IID

f.) It's average so here we use x bar

q1 is just the 25th percentile

the 25th percentile is -.6745

-.6745=(x-12)/(√.1838)= 11.711

q3 is the 75th percentile

.6745=(x-12)/√.1838

x=12.289

The interquartile range is just the difference between the two

12.289-11.711= .5784
