The 9th hole at Segreganset Country Club is a par 4 hole measuring 440 yards. Over the course of a 4 hour span, 50 golfers played this hole. The following table represents X = the score a player received on the hole. Answer the following questions based on the table:
X Frequency
1 0
2 0
3 4
4 12
5 20
6 10
7 4
8 0
According to a study, 45% of Americans get their license before they are 18 years old. Suppose we randomly ask 20 individuals over the age of 18 if they got their license before they were 18 years old. Let X = the number of individuals who got their license before their 18th birthday.
Giving you some suggestions to solve the first problem:
If you have a calculator that has STAT capabilities, learn how to use the calculator; that will save you much time.
1) Find the sum of all the frequencies; divide each frequency by this sum for each row.
2) Draw a histogram, using the values of X for the x-axis, the values found in step 1 for the y-axis.
3) How many golfers got a 7? How many golfers are there? Divide.
4) How many total golfers got a score no more than 6 (that is, 6 or less)? How many golfers are there. Divide.
5) What is the most likely score?
6) Use: s = √[ ( ∑f·(x - mean)² ) / ( n - 1) ]
7) Find mean ± 2 standard deviations; which scores are above/below that point?
Try the above for problem #1.
