• The mean score for students in C period was higher than the mean score for students in A period.

• More people scored between 72 and 90 in C period than scored between 72 and 81 in A period.

• The standard deviation of scores in A period is smaller than the standard deviation of scores in C period.

The following computer output describes the relationship between y = height (in cm) and x = foot length (also in cm) for 12 randomly selected students from the British Census @ Schools database. The scatterplot for this relationship show a roughly linear shape. Which of the following is an equation of least-squares regression line for these data?

• Height = 117.99 + 1.878 (Foot Length)

• Foot Length = 117.99 + 1.878 (Height)

• Height = 1.878 + 117.99 (Foot Length)

• Foot Length = 1.878 + 117.99 (Height)

Here is the dot plot of voter turnout (as a percentage of voting-age population) for the 50 states—plus the District of Columbia—in a recent presidential election. Which of the following best describes this distribution?

• The distribution of voter turnout is roughly symmetric, centered at about 60%, with a range of 30%.

• The distribution of voter turnout is skewed slightly right, centered at about 62%, with a range of 24%.

• The distribution of voter turnout is bimodal, centered at about 60%, with a range of 30%.

Jerome’s summer reading list has 8 books, and he is examining the number of pages in each book. After calculating the mean, median, standard deviation, and interquartile range, he realized that the longest book is actually 100 pages longer than he thought it was. Which of his measurements does he need to recalculate?

• All his measurements.

• The mean, standard deviation, and interquartile range.

• The mean and standard deviation.

• Only the mean.
