Checkout Time (in minutes) | Frequency | Relative Frequency
1.0 - 1.9 | 2 | ?
2.0 - 2.9 | 8 | ?
3.0 - 3.9 | ? | ?
4.0 - 5.9 | 5 | ?
Total | 25 | ?
(a) Complete the frequency table with frequency and relative frequency.
(b) What percentage of the checkout times was less than 3 minutes?
(c)In what class interval must the median lie? Explain your answer.
(d) Assume that the largest observation in this dataset is 5.8. Suppose this observation were incorrectly recorded as 8.5 instead of 5.8. Will the mean increase, decrease, or remain the same? Will the median increase, decrease or remain the same? Why?
(a)
[B]Checkout Time (in minutes) | Frequency | Relative Frequency
1.0 - 1.9 | 2 | 2/25
2.0 - 2.9 | 8 | 8/25
3.0 - 3.9 | 10 (since 25 - 5 + 8 + 2) = 10 | 10/25
4.0 - 5.9 | 5 | 5/25
Total | 25 | ?[/B]
(b) (2 + 8)/25 = 10/25 = [B]40%[/B]
c) [B]3.0 - 3.9[/B] since 2 + 8 + 10 + 5 = 25 and 13 is the middle value which occurs in the 3.0 - 3.9 interval
(d) [B]Mean increases[/B] since it's a higher value than usual. Median would not change as the median is the most frequent distribution and assuming the 5.8 is only recorded once.
in 6th grade, veronica reads 45 books. in 7th grade she reads 63 books. what is the percent change?in 6th grade, veronica reads 45 books. in 7th grade she reads 63 books. what is the percent change?
Percent Change = 100% * (New Value - Old Value)/Old Value
Percent Change = 100% * (63 - 45)/45
Percent Change = 100% * 18/45
Percent Change = 100% * 0.4
Percent Change = [B]40%[/B]

B. H0: p = 0.122, H1 p <> 0.122
C. H0: p = 0.122, H1 p < 0.122
(b) Which of the following is a Type I error?
A. The sociologist rejects the hypothesis that the percentage of births to teenage mothers is 12.2%, when the true percentage is less than 12.2%
B. The sociologist fails to reject the hypothesis that the percentage of births to teenage mothers is 12.2%, when the true percentage is less than 12.2%
C. The sociologist rejects the hypothesis that the percentage of births to teenage mothers is 12.2%, when it is the true percentage.
c) Which of the following is a Type II error?
A. The sociologist rejects the hypothesis that the percentage of births to teenage mothers is 12.2%, when it is the true percentage
B. The sociologist fails to reject the hypothesis that the percentage of births to teenage mothers is 12.2%, when it is the true percentage

because a null hypothesis should take the opposite of what is being assumed. So the assumption is that nothing has changed while the hypothesis is that the rate has decreased.
(b) [B]C.[/B] The sociologist rejects the hypothesis that the percentage of births to teenage mothers is 12.2%, when it is the true percentage. Type I Error is rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true
c) [B]C.[/B] The sociologist fails to reject the hypothesis that the percentage of births to teenage mothers is 12.2%, when the true percentage is less than 12.2% Type II Error is accepting the null hypothesis when it is false.
