MATH 221 FINAL EXAM REVIEW ( VERSION 1) DEVRY UNIVERSITY
1) Jack weighs 160 pounds and his sister weighs 110 pounds. If the mean weight for
men his age is 175 with a standard deviation of 14 pounds and the mean weight for
women is 145 with a standard deviation of 10 pounds, determine whose weight is closer
to "average." Write your answer in terms of zscores and areas under the normal curve.
x − µ 160 − 175 − 15
for Jack z = = = ≈ −1 . 07 , when z = 1.07, area = .1423
σ 14 14
x − µ 110 − 145 − 25
for his sister = = = −2 . 50 , when z = 2.50, area = .0062
σ 10 10
Jack is closer to average, but he is still in the lower 14%, while his sister is in the bottom less
than 1% of the population.
2) Explain the difference between a population and a sample. In which if these is it
important to distinguish between the two in order to use the correct formula? mean;
median; mode; range; quartiles; variance; standard deviation.
A sample is a subset of a population. A population consists of every member of a particular
group of interest. The variance and the standard deviation require that we know whether we
have a sample or a population.
3) The following numbers represent the weights in pounds of six 7year old children
in Mrs. Jones' 2nd grade class.
{25, 60, 51, 47, 49, 45}
Find the mean; median; mode; range; quartiles; variance; standard deviation.
mean = 46.166....
median = 48
mode does not exist
range = 35
Q1 = 45
Q2 = median = 48
Q3 = 51

4) The Student Services office did a survey of 500 students in which they asked if the
student is parttime or fulltime. Another question asked whether the student was a
transfer student. The results follow.
Transfer NonTransfer Row Totals
PartTime 100 110 210
FullTime 170 120 290
Column Totals 270 230 500
a) If a student is selected at random (from this group of 500 students), find the
probability that the student is a transfer student. P (Transfer)
The total number of transfer students is 270.
The total number of students in the survey is 500
P(Transfer) = 270/500 = .54
b) If a student is selected at random (from this group of 500 students), find the
probability that the student is a part time student. P (Part Time)
The total number of part time students is 210.
The total number of students in the survey is 500.
