1) Use Statistics to answer the following set a) A researcher collects health data on many men in each of several countries. One of the variables measured for each man in the study is his weight in pounds. The following list gives the five-number summary for the weights of adult men in one of the countries. Country A: 92, 110, 120, 160, 240 About what percent of adult men weigh between 110 and 240?
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.

c) Richard's Furniture Company delivers furniture from 10 A.M. to 2 P.M. continuously and uniformly. We are interested in how long (in hours) past the 10 A.M. start time that individuals wait for their delivery. Suppose that it is now past noon on a delivery day. The probability that a person must wait at least 1.5 more hours is...
