Enter each data set into the statistics calculator. Make note of the mean, median, and shape of the histogram of each data set. A = {10, 12, 12, 6, 8, 5, 4, 10, 8, 10, 12, 12, 6} B = {8, 8, 8, 7, 9, 7, 9, 10, 6, 8} Which statements are true about the data sets? Check all that apply. Set A is symmetrical. Set B has the same mean and median. Set B is right skewed. Set A is left skewed. The median of set A is larger than the mean of set A.

Consider the normal distribution curve. Which statements are true about the curve? Check all that apply. The standard deviation of the data is 64. The variance of the data is 49. The median is 64. The data point 75 is less than one standard deviation from the mean. The data point 50 is two standard deviations away from the mean.

The graph shows a distribution of data. A graph shows the horizontal axis numbered 1 to x. The vertical axis is unnumbered. The graph shows an upward trend from 1 to 2 then a downward trend from 2 to 3. What is the standard deviation of the data? 0.5 1.5 2.0 2.5

Which histogram represents a set of data that is left-skewed?

The graph represents the distribution of the lengths of play times, in minutes, for songs played by a radio station over one hour. A graph shows the horizontal axis numbered 2.6 to x. The vertical axis is unnumbered. The graph shows an upward trend from 2.8 to 3.4 then a downward trend from 3.4 to 4. Which statement is true about the songs played during the one-hour interval? Most of the songs were between 3 minutes and 3.8 minutes long. Most of the songs were 3.4 minutes long. Most of the songs were less than 3.2 minutes long. Most of the songs were more than 3.6 minutes long.

Grace is looking at a report of her monthly cell-phone usage for the last year to determine if she needs to upgrade her plan.

Students in a fitness class each completed a one-mile walk or run. The list shows the time it took each person to complete the mile. Each time is rounded to the nearest half-minute. 5.5, 6, 7, 10, 7.5, 8, 9.5, 9, 8.5, 8, 7, 7.5, 6, 6.5, 5.5 Which statements are true about a histogram with one-minute increments representing the data? Select three options. A histogram will show that the mean time is approximately equal to the median time of 7.5 minutes. The histogram will have a shape that is left-skewed. The histogram will show that the mean time is greater than the median time of 7.4 minutes. The shape of the histogram can be approximated with a normal curve. The histogram will show that most of the data is centered between 6 minutes and 9 minutes.
