In a contingency table, the number of rows and columns

SCENARIO 2-3 Every spring semester, the School of Business coordinates a luncheon with local business leaders for graduating seniors, their families, and friends.Corporate sponsorship pays for the lunches of each of the seniors, but students must purchase tickets to cover the cost of lunches served to guests they bring with them.The following histogram represents the attendance at the senior luncheon, where X is the number of guests each graduating senior invited to the luncheon and f is the number of graduating seniors in each category. -Referring to the histogram from Scenario 2-3, how many graduating seniors attended the luncheon?

SCENARIO 2-18 The stem-and-leaf display below shows the result of a survey on 50 students on their satisfaction with their school with the higher scores represent higher level of satisfaction. -Referring to Scenario 2-18, the level of satisfaction is concentrated around 75.

SCENARIO 2-9 The frequency distribution below represents the rents of 250 randomly selected federally subsidized apartments in a small town. Rentin \ Frequency 1,100 but less than 1,200 113 1,200 but less than 1,300 85 1,300 but less than 1,400 32 1,400 but less than 1,500 16 1,500 but less than 1,600 4 -Referring to Scenario 2-9, the percentage of apartments renting for less than $1,400 is .

The sum of relative frequencies in a distribution always equals 1.

SCENARIO 2-6 A sample of 200 students at a Big-Ten university was taken after the midterm to ask them whether they went bar hopping the weekend before the midterm or spent the weekend studying, and whether they did well or poorly on the midterm.The following table contains the result. Did Well in Midterm Did Poorly in Midterm Studying for Exam 80 20 Went Bar Hopping 30 70 -Referring to Scenario 2-6, of those who went bar hopping the weekend before the midterm in the sample, percent of them did well on the midterm.

Percentage polygons are plotted at the boundaries of the class groupings.

SCENARIO 2-6 A sample of 200 students at a Big-Ten university was taken after the midterm to ask them whether they went bar hopping the weekend before the midterm or spent the weekend studying, and whether they did well or poorly on the midterm.The following table contains the result. Did Well in Midterm Did Poorly in Midterm Studying for Exam 80 20 Went Bar Hopping 30 70 -Referring to Scenario 2-6, if the sample is a good representation of the population, we can expectpercent of those who did poorly on the midterm to have spent the weekend studying.

SCENARIO 2-12 The table below contains the opinions of a sample of 200 people broken down by gender about the latest congressional plan to eliminate anti-trust exemptions for professional baseball. For Neutral Against Totals Female 38 54 12 104 Male 12 36 48 96 Totals 50 90 60 200 -Referring to Scenario 2-12, if the sample is a good representation of the population, we can expect percent of the population will be for the plan.

To determine the width of class interval, divide the number of class groups by the range of the data.

SCENARIO 2-13 Given below is the stem-and-leaf display representing the amount of detergent used in gallons (with leaves in 10ths of gallons) in a day by 25 drive-through car wash operations in Phoenix. 9\mid147 10\mid02238 11\mid135566777 12\mid223489 13\mid02 -Referring to Scenario 2-13, construct a cumulative percentage distribution for the detergent data if the corresponding frequency distribution uses "9.0 but less than 10.0" as the first class.

Given below is the scatter plot of the market value (thousands$) and profit (thousands$) of 50 U.S.companies.Higher market values appear to be associated with higher profits.

SCENARIO 2-13 Given below is the stem-and-leaf display representing the amount of detergent used in gallons (with leaves in 10ths of gallons) in a day by 25 drive-through car wash operations in Phoenix. 9\mid147 10\mid02238 11\mid135566777 12\mid223489 13\mid02 -Referring to Scenario 2-13, if a percentage histogram for the detergent data is constructed,using "9.0 but less than 10.0 gallons" as the first class, what percentage of drive-through car wash operations use less than 12 gallons of detergent in a day?

You have collected information on the consumption by the 15 largest coffee-consuming nations.Which of the following is the best for presenting the shares of the consumption?

SCENARIO 2-14 The table below contains the number of people who own a portable Blu-ray player in a sample of 600 broken down by gender. Own a Portable Blu-ray player Male Female Yes 96 40 No 224 240 -Referring to Scenario 2-14 of the females in the sample, percent owned a portableBlu-ray player.

A survey of 150 executives were asked what they think is the most common mistake candidates make during job interviews.Six different mistakes were given.Which of the following is the best for presenting the information?

SCENARIO 2-14 The table below contains the number of people who own a portable Blu-ray player in a sample of 600 broken down by gender. Own a Portable Blu-ray player Male Female Yes 96 40 No 224 240 -Referring to Scenario 2-14, percent of the 600 were males who did not own a portableBlu-ray player.

SCENARIO 2-8 The Stem-and-Leaf display represents the number of times in a year that a random sample of 100 "lifetime" members of a health club actually visited the facility. Stem Leaves 0 01222223333334445666666667789999 1 1111222234444555669999 2 00011223455556889 3 0000446799 4 011345567 5 0077 6 8 7 67 8 3 9 0247 -Referring to Scenario 2-8, the person who visited the health club more than anyone else in the sample visited the facility times.

SCENARIO 2-5 The following are the duration in minutes of a sample of long-distance phone calls made within the continental United States reported by one long-distance carrier. Time(inMinutes) Relative Frequency 0 but less than 5 0.37 5 but less than 10 0.22 10 but less than 15 0.15 15 but less than 20 0.10 20 but less than 25 0.07 25 but less than 30 0.07 30 or more 0.02 -Referring to Scenario 2-5, if 10 calls lasted 30 minutes or more, how many calls lasted less than 5 minutes?
