Scenario: The head of the chemistry department at a local university has tasked a student teaching assistant to prepare a variety of statistics pertaining to the final course grades earned by students who have completed the university’s CHEM 103 course during the past ten years. These statistics will be used as a basis for predicting the potential performance of future students who enroll in the course. A total of 1,125 students have completed the course during the past ten years. Rather than trying to have the teaching assistant collect and analyze data for all 1,125 students, the department head has agreed to allow the teaching assistant to prepare the necessary statistics using a small random sample consisting of 25 students who completed the course during the past ten years. The following table summarizes the final course grades earned by the 25 randomly selected students.

Student No. Course Grade Student No. Course Grade
1 83.17 14 86.76
2 82.31 15 88.69
3 90.18 16 86.89
4 93.63 17 88.57
5 92.38 18 96.93
6 96.06 19 86.48
7 83.75 20 92.15
8 85.17 21 92.32
9 86.67 22 78.70
10 94.27 23 92.67
11 83.11 24 74.56
12 82.16 25 78.48
13 89.48

Data: For the purposes of this assignment, assume that: (1) the small sample consisting of 25 students is truly representative of the population of 1,125 students from which it was drawn; and (2) the 1,125 students who have completed the course during the past ten years constitute a truly representative sample of all future students who will eventually enroll in the course. Based upon these assumptions, use the sample data provided in the preceding table to answer the following questions. This HW is worth a total of 100 total points. The points for each question may vary.

Data: Using the previously provided sample data for the final course grades earned by the 25 randomly selected students, determine the frequency, relative frequency and cumulative frequency for each of the following eleven grade classes.

0.00-10.00 60.00-70.00
10.00-20.00 70.00-80.00
20.00-30.00 80.00-90.00
30.00-40.00 90.00-100.00
40.00-50.00 100.00 or more
50.00-60.00

Question 9. Assuming that student grades would theoretically be symmetrically distributed around the 70.00 – 80.00 grade class, does the histogram indicate that the distribution of actual student grades is skewed (either positively skewed or negatively skewed)? (3 points)

Question 10. Which grade class evidences the highest frequency of actual student grades? (3 points)

Question 11. What is the relative frequency for the 70.00 – 80.00 grade class? (3 points)

Question 12. What is the cumulative frequency for the 80.00 – 90.00 grade class? (3 points)

Data: A standard deck of playing cards consists of fifty-two cards. The cards in each deck consist of four suits, namely spades (♠), clubs (♣), diamonds (♦) and hearts (♥). Each suit consists of thirteen cards, namely ace, king, queen, jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2. In the game of poker, a royal flush consists of the ace, king, queen, jack, and 10 of the same suit (e.g., ace of spades, king of spades, queen of spades, jack of spades and 10 of spades).

Question 18. What is the probability of randomly selecting five cards from a randomly shuffled deck of playing cards that constitute a royal flush, assuming the order in which the cards are selected is irrelevant (i.e., not important) and the suit is irrelevant (i.e., not important)? (4 points)

Question 19. What is the probability of randomly selecting five cards from a randomly shuffled deck of playing cards that constitute a royal flush, assuming the cards must be selected in a specific order, namely ace, king, queen, jack and 10, and the suit is irrelevant (i.e., not important)? (4 points)
