Q. 3A computer package was used to generate the following printout for estimating the mean sale price of homes in a particular neighborhood.
X = sale_price
SAMPLE MEAN OF X = 46,400
SAMPLE STANDARD DEV = 13,747
SAMPLE SIZE OF X = 15
CONFIDENCE = 90
UPPER LIMIT = 52,650.6
SAMPLE MEAN OF X = 46,400
LOWER LIMIT = 40,149.4
At what level of reliability is the confidence interval made?
A) 45 B) 90 C) 10 D) 55
Q. 4If x is a binomial random variable, calculate for n = 60 and p = 0.7. Round to three decimal places when necessary.
A) 3.55 B) 12.6 C) 42 D) 6.481

Q. 7Before a new phone system was installed, the amount a company spent on personal calls followed a normal distribution with an average of 900 per month and a standard deviation of 50 per month.
Refer to such expenses as PCE's (personal call expenses). Find the point in the distribution below which 2.5 of the PCE's fell.
A) 877.50 B) 998.00 C) 802.00 D) 22.50
Q. 8Private colleges and universities rely on money contributed by individuals and corporations for their operating expenses. Much of this money is invested in a fund called an endowment, and the college spends only the interest earned by the fund.
A recent survey of eight private colleges in the United States revealed the following endowments (in millions of dollars): 88.9, 56, 249.3, 497, 124.7, 157.6, 108.9, and 222.8. What value will be used as the point estimate for the mean endowment of all private colleges in the United States?
A) 1505.2 B) 215.029 C) 8 D) 188.15
Q. 9If x is a binomial random variable, calculate for n = 100 and p = 0.8.
