The dotplots show the average number of minutes two groups of students spent exercising. Which statement is not true?

• The median for seniors is the same as the median for freshmen

• The standard deviation is larger for seniors than for freshmen.

• The IQR for freshmen is 30

Which statement is true about the amount of money students in this survey spent on homecoming?

• A majority of students spent between $40 and $80

• The student who spent $100 is an outlier in this group.

• The mean amount spent for homecoming is $40.

The school district is interested in finding out student and parent opinions about the dress code.  They obtain a list of students from each school in the district and put them in alphabetical order.  They then send a survey to every 25th student and their parents on the list.

Involves dividing the population into subgroups, you randomly select entire subgroups. What sampling technique is this?

• Simple Random Sample

• Snowball Sample

The distribution of scores on a test are fairly symmetric and unimodal with a peak at 80. One student who was absent then takes the test and scores 25 on the test. Which summary statistic would be least affected by the addition of this new data point?

• Standard deviation

• Mean

• IQR

• Range

A maple sugar manufacturer wants to estimate the average trunk diameter of Sugar Maple trees in a large forest. There are too many trees to list them all and take a SRS, so he divides the forest into several hundred 10 meter by 10 meter plots, selects 25 plots at random, and measures the diameter of every Sugar Maple in each one. This is an example of a

• multistage sample.

• stratified sample.

• simple random sample.

• cluster sample.

• convenience sample.
