The weights in kg, of 80 adult males, were collected and are summarized in the box and whisker plot shown below. 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 Weight (kg) 75 80 (a) Write down the median weight of the males. (b) Calculate the interquartile range. (c) Estimate the number of males who weigh between 61 kg and 66 kg. (d) Estimate the mean weight of the lightest 40 males.

The box-and-whisker plot shows weights, in kilograms, of 40 pandas all of the same gender. Write down the median weight. Write down the range. Find the number of pandas that weigh less than 90 kg. Write down the percentage of pandas that weigh between 120 and 160 kg. Find the number of pandas that weigh between 90 and 130 kg. If the average weight of a panda is about 120 kg, state what information you can deduce from the 40 pandas in the sample. Male pandas weigh, on average, between 80 kg and 140 kg, and females weigh, on average, between 70 kg and 120 kg. From the box plot, state the gender of the pandas in the sample.

Overweight Men For a random sample of 60 overweight men, the mean of the number of pounds that they were overweight was 30. The standard deviation of the population is 4.2 pounds. a. Find the best point estimate of the average number of excess pounds that they weighed. b. Find the 95% confidence interval of the mean of these pounds.

Weights, in pounds, for specific gender and age subgroups are assumed to follow a normal distribution. The mean weight for male age 25 years is 160 pounds with a standard deviation of 19.2 pounds. What proportion of male age 25 have weights: (a) exceeding 140 pounds? (b) between 140 and 160 pounds? (c) Compute the weight which separates the top 10% of the males age 25 from the remaining males.
