MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. Use the frequency distribution below to answer the following question(s). A sample of 80 juvenile salmon is grouped into the resulting frequency distribution based on their weights. Weight (in grams) | Frequency 100-149 | 15 150-199 | 10 200-249 | 30 250-299 | 25 15) The distribution of the histogram for the weights of the juvenile salmon appears ____. A) Uniform B) Skewed right C) Normal D) Skewed left 16) If a relative frequency distribution were constructed for the weights of the salmon, what would be the relative frequency for the class weighing 150-199 grams? A) 31.25% B) 18.75% C) 37.5% D) 12.5% 17) If a pie chart were constructed for the weights of the salmon, what would be the measure of the central angle for the class weighing 200-249 grams? A) 112.5° B) 67.5° C) 45° D) 135°

Fifty oranges of one variety were selected at random and weighed. A 95 percent confidence interval computed from the sample weights to estimate the mean weight of oranges of this variety is (7.58, 8.72) ounces. Which of the following statements is true with respect to the confidence level used? A. In repeated samplings of the same size, 95 percent of the intervals constructed will contain the true mean weight of the oranges of this variety. B. In repeated samplings of the same size, 95 percent of the intervals constructed will contain the sampled mean weight of the oranges. C. Ninety-five percent of the oranges in this sample weigh between 7.58 and 8.72 ounces. D. Ninety-five percent of the oranges of this variety weigh between 7.58 and 8.72 ounces. E. There is a 95 percent chance that the mean weight of another sample of 50 oranges from this variety will be between 7.58 and 8.72 ounces.

A food company sells salmon to various customers. The mean weight of the salmon is 44 lb with a standard deviation of 4 lbs. The company ships them to restaurants in boxes of 9 salmon, to grocery stores in cartons of 36 salmon, and to discount outlet stores in pallets of 64 salmon. To forecast costs, the shipping department needs to estimate the standard deviation of the mean weight of the salmon in each type of shipment. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. b) The distribution of the salmon weights turns out to be skewed to the high end. Would the distribution of shipping weights be better characterized by a Normal model for the boxes or pallets? Explain. Choose the correct answer below. A. The pallets, because, as long as the underlying distribution is Normal, the sampling distribution of the mean approaches the Normal model as the sample size increases. B. The pallets, because, regardless of the underlying distribution, the sampling distribution of the mean approaches the Normal model as the sample size increases. C. The boxes, because, as long as the underlying distribution is Normal, the sampling distribution of the mean approaches the Normal model as the sample size increases. D. The boxes, because, regardless of the underlying distribution, the sampling distribution of the mean approaches the Normal model as the sample size increases. Click to select your answer(s).

The following data represent the distribution of birth weights (in grams) for babies in which the pregnancy went full term (37 to 41 weeks). $$\begin{array}{cc} \text { Birth Weight (g) } & \text { Number of Live Births } \\ \hline 0-499 & 22 \\ \hline 500-999 & 201 \\ \hline 1000-1499 & 1,645 \\ \hline 1500-1999 & 9,365 \\ \hline 2000-2499 & 92,191 \\ \hline 2500-2999 & 569,319 \\ \hline 3000-3499 & 1,387,335 \\ \hline 3500-3999 & 988,011 \\ \hline 4000-4499 & 255,700 \\ \hline 4500-4999 & 36,766 \\ \hline 5000-5499 & 3,994 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ (a) Construct a relative frequency distribution for birth weight. (b) Draw a relative frequency histogram for birth weight. Describe the shape of the distribution. (c) Determine the mean and standard deviation birth weight. (d) Use the normal model to determine the proportion of babics in each class. (e) Compare the proportions predicted by the normal model to the relative frequencies found in part (a). Do you believe that the normal model is effective in describing the birth weights of babies?
