- Tips given to taxi drivers form a substantial part of their income. They also serve as a loose metric of service quality that can be useful for taxi companies. An analysis of a large dataset shows that the tips given (as a percentage of taxi fares) are normally distributed with mean 21.3% and standard deviation 7.5%. Furthermore, tips received for different trips are independent from each other. taxi driver expects to do 2000 trips next year. For approximately how many of these trips will he receive a tip over 25%?arrow_forwardCreate a collection of 7-12 numbers of your choice (e.g., 4, 9, 13, 2, 7, 8, 6, 10).

- A developmental psychologist is interested in studying how long babies gaze at a photograph of a human face. To test this question, she shows a picture to a sample of six babies and records the length of their gaze in seconds. The data are as follows: 12, 17, 18, 20, 20, 29. Calculate the mean, median, mode, range, variance and standard deviation for the sample.arrow_forwardFind the range, vanance, and standard deviation for the given sample data. Include appropriate units in the results. Listed below are the measured radiation absorption rates (in Wikg) corresponding to various cell phone models. If one of each model is measured for radiation and the results are used to find the measures of variation, are the results typical of the population of cell phones that are in use? 1.16 0.82 0.51 0.69 1.11 0.82 0.69 0.75 0.52 0.53 1.34arrow_forward
