Question 21

Mean of Poisson # = 5 = ?

Correct Answer: A
For a Poisson distribution, the parameter # represents the mean number of events occurring in a fixed interval.
Therefore, if # = 5, the mean is 5. This means that over many repeated intervals of the same size, the long-run average number of events per interval would be 5. The Poisson distribution is used for count data, such as calls per hour, accidents per week, or defects per batch, when events occur independently and at a constant average rate. A special property of the Poisson distribution is that its variance also equals #, so in this case the variance would also be 5. However, the question asks for the mean, so the direct answer is 5. Options B, C, and D are not supported by the stated parameter. Study Guide references/topics: Poisson distribution, # parameter, expected value, count data.

Question 22

Standard deviation increases #

Correct Answer: A
Standard deviation measures how far data values typically fall from the mean. When standard deviation increases, the data are more spread out. This means individual observations tend to be farther from the mean, producing greater variability. A smaller standard deviation means the data values are more tightly clustered around the mean. Option B states the opposite of the correct interpretation. Option C is incorrect because an increase in standard deviation does not necessarily mean the mean increases; center and spread are separate features of a distribution. Option D is also incorrect because variance is the square of standard deviation, so if standard deviation increases, variance increases as well, not decreases. Standard deviation is useful because it is expressed in the same units as the original data, making spread easier to interpret. Study Guide references
/topics: standard deviation, variance, spread, measures of variability.

Question 23

In a normal distribution, 95% of data lies within:

Correct Answer: A
For a normal distribution, the empirical rule states that approximately 68% of data fall within one standard deviation of the mean, approximately 95% fall within two standard deviations, and approximately 99.7% fall within three standard deviations. The notation ±2 SD means two standard deviations below the mean to two standard deviations above the mean, or # # 2# to # + 2#. Therefore, the interval containing about 95% of normally distributed observations is ±2 standard deviations. Option B corresponds to approximately 68%, not
95%. Option C corresponds to approximately 99.7%, and option D extends beyond the standard empirical- rule benchmarks. This concept is central when estimating the typical spread of bell-shaped data, such as test scores, biological measurements, or repeated measurement errors. The correct answer is ±2 SD because it matches the 95% portion of the 68-95-99.7 rule. Study Guide references/topics: normal distribution, empirical rule, standard deviation, distribution spread.

Question 24

Probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die?

Correct Answer: B
A standard six-sided die has six equally likely outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The even outcomes are 2, 4, and
6. That gives 3 favorable outcomes out of 6 total outcomes. Therefore, the probability of rolling an even number is 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2. Option A, 1/3, would correspond to 2 favorable outcomes out of 6, which is not correct here. Option C, 1/6, is the probability of rolling one specific number, such as only a 2.
Option D, 2/3, would require 4 favorable outcomes out of 6. Since exactly half of the die faces are even and half are odd, the probability of rolling an even number is one-half. Study Guide references/topics: theoretical probability, equally likely outcomes, sample space, favorable outcomes.

Question 25

A child's parents want to analyze the relationship between the daily high temperature and ice cream sales at their child's ice cream stand. They create the following scatterplot.

What is the estimated value of r, the correlation coefficient, between these variables?

Correct Answer: D
The correlation coefficient r measures both the direction and strength of a linear relationship between two quantitative variables. In this scatterplot, the points rise from lower left to upper right, showing a positive association between temperature and daily ice cream sales. As temperature increases, sales also tend to increase. The points are fairly close to an upward-sloping linear pattern, so the relationship is strong rather than weak. A value of r near 1 indicates a strong positive linear association, while a value near #1 indicates a strong negative association. Since the association is clearly positive, the negative options, #0.93 and #0.39, are not appropriate. Since the points show a strong trend rather than a loose or weak trend, 0.39 is too small.
The best estimate is 0.93. This is consistent with the visual pattern: temperature explains a substantial amount of the linear movement in ice cream sales. References/topics from the Study Guide: scatterplots, correlation coefficient, positive association, strength of linear relationship.
