time (in minutes) from home to work for all 25 employees of a company.

Daily commuting time (minutes) Number of employees

0 10 4
10 20 9
20 30 6
30 40 4
40 - 50 2

(1) Calculate the:

(2) Construct a histogram. Then, find the mode from your

histogram.
(3) Construct ogive less than. Then, find the median and quartiles
from the ogive.

QUESTION C

According to the statistical Abstract of the United States, Americans were

expected to spend an average of 1669 hours watching television in 2004.
Assume that the average age time spent watching television by Americans
this year will have the distribution that is skewed to the right with the a
mean of 1750 hours and standard deviation of 450 hours.

i) Using Chebyshevs theorem, find at least what

percentage of Americans will watch television this year for 850 to
2650 hours.
ii) Using Chebyshevs theorem, find the interval that
contain the television viewing times of at least 84% of all Americans.

QUESTION D

Assume that the annual earnings of all employees with CPA certification and
12 years experience and working for large firms have a bell shaped
distribution with a mean of $134,000 and a standard deviation of $12,000.

i) Using Empirical rule, find the percentage of all such employees

whose annual earnings are between $98,000 and $170,000.
ii) Using Empirical rule, find the interval that contains the annual earning
of 68% of all such employees.
