(b) Percent of students in exactly 2courses is 30%

(c) Percent of students taking one or two courses is90%

Step by step solution

01

Given information (part a)

The total number of students is 50, the number of students in one course is 30and the number of students in 2courses is 15.

02

Explanation (part a)

Number of students in three courses =50-30-15=5

Relative frequency for 2 courses localid="1647583818357" =numberofstudentsin2coursesTotalstudents

=1530=0.3

localid="1647583898921" Relativefrequencyfor3courses=numberofstudentsin2coursesTotalstudents=550=0.10

Cumulative relative frequency of 1courselocalid="1647609706501" =0.6

Cumulative relative frequency of 2course=0.6+0.3=0.9

Cumulative frequency of 2course=0.6+0.3+0.1=1

Use the following data to answer the next five exercises: Two researchers are gathering data on hours of video games played by school-aged children and young adults. They each randomly sample different groups of 150 students from the same school. They collect the following data.

Give a reason why the data may differ.

Studies are often done by pharmaceutical companies to determine the effectiveness of a treatment program. Suppose that a new AIDS antibody drug is currently under study. It is given to patients once the AIDS symptoms have revealed themselves. Of interest is the average (mean) length of time in months patients live once they start the treatment. Two researchers each follow a different set of 40 patients with AIDS from the start of treatment until their deaths. The following data (in months) are collected.

Researcher A:
