The weight of adult male grizzly bears living in the wild in the continental United States is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 500 pounds and a standard deviation of 50 pounds. The weight of adult female grizzly bears is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 300 pounds and a standard deviation of 40 pounds.

Approximately, what would be the weight of a female grizzly bear with the same standardized score (z-score) as a male grizzly bear with a weight of 530 pounds?

• 276 pounds

• 324 pounds

• 330 pounds

• 340 pounds

• 530 pounds

For a sample of 42 rabbits, the mean weight is 5 pounds and the standard deviation of weights is 3 pounds. Which of the following is most likely true about the weights for the rabbits in this sample?

• The distribution of weights is approximately normal because the sample size is 42, and therefore the central limit theorem applies.

• The distribution of weights is approximately normal because the standard deviation is less than the mean.

• The distribution of weights is skewed to the right because the least possible weight is within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

• The distribution of weights is skewed to the left because the least possible weight is within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

• The distribution of weights has a median that is greater than the mean.

The histogram above shows the number of minutes needed by 45 students to finish playing a computer game.

Which of the following statements is correct?

• The distribution is skewed to the left.

• The distribution appears to be normal.

• The distribution appears to be chi-square.

• The distribution appears to be uniform.

Gina's doctor told her that the standardized score (z- score) for her systolic blood pressure, as compared to the blood pressure of other women her age, is 1.50. Which of the following is the best interpretation of this standardized score?

• Gina's systolic blood pressure is 150.

• Gina's systolic blood pressure is 1.50 standard deviations above the average systolic blood pressure of women her age.

• Gina's systolic blood pressure is 1.50 above the average systolic blood pressure of women her age.

• Gina's systolic blood pressure is 1.50 times the average systolic blood pressure for women her age.

• Only 1.5% of women Gina's age have a higher systolic blood pressure than she does.
