Here are 6 celebrities with some of the highest net worths (in millions of dollars) in a recent year: George Lucas (5500), Steven Spielberg (3700), Oprah Winfrey (3200), Michael Jordan (1700), Paul McCartney (1200), and Jerry Seinfeld (950). Find the range, variance, and standard deviation for the sample data. What do the results tell us about the population of all celebrities? Based on the nature of the amounts, what can be inferred about their precision? The range is $ 4550 million. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) The variance is million dollars squared. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)
Lucille, Rocio, and Cristina are all taking College Mathematics but from different professors. They all recently took a statistics exam and the exam scores were normally distributed in each of their classes. Lucille's class had an average grade of 85 and the standard deviation was 3. Lucille earned 89.5 on the exam. Rocio's class had an average grade of 83 and the standard deviation was 4. Rocio earned 87.4 on the exam. Cristina's class had an average grade of 76 and the standard deviation was 6. Cristina earned 79.3 on the exam. Since some professors give harder exams than others, these students decided to use statistics to figure out who did the best on their exam.

Lucas took a test in Math and earned a 73.4, and Alex took a test in English and earned a 70.5. Use the fact that all the students' test grades in the Math class had a mean of 74.1 and a standard deviation of 11.3, and all the students' test grades in English had a mean of 60.9 and a standard deviation of 8.1 to answer the following questions.a) Calculate the z-score for Lucas's test grade.z=z=b) Calculate the z-score for Alex's test grade.z=z=
Before going to college, Chelsea wanted to see if she could sell her old car online. She selected a sample of the prices on 25 similar cars sold online in the past month. Later, Chelsea realized that the lowest-priced car in the sample was mistakenly recorded as half the price it actually sold for. However, after correcting the error, the corrected price was still less than or equal to any other car price in her sample. Which of the following sample statistics must have remained the same after the correction was made? Select one: 1.Range 2.Median 3.Mode 4.Variance 5.Mean

A college administrator wants to see if students in different majors tend to have differing amounts of study time. The administrator collects the following data from 15 students in Sociology, 10 students in Engineering, and 12 students in History. The Sociology majors report an average of 10 hours studies per week and a standard deviation of 3 hours. The Engineering students report an average of 15 hours per week with a standard deviation of 7 hours. The History majors report an average of 12 hours studied and a standard deviation of 4 hours. The data can be summarized as follows: Major n Mean Study Hours Standard deviation Sociology 15 10 hours 3 hours Engineering 10 15 hours 7 hours History 12 12 hours 4 hours Does this data provide evidence for the notion that students in different majors study different amounts? Use α = .05
