SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question. Identify as many similarities and differences that you can find.
1) Suppose you are comparing frequency data for two different groups, 25 managers and 150 blue collar workers. Why would a relative frequency distribution be better than a frequency distribution?

Answers will vary depending on examples given. However, since 150 is six times 25, relative frequencies adjust for the extreme difference in sample sizes.

2) Without calculating the standard deviation, compare the standard deviation for the following three data sets. (Note: All data sets have a mean of 30.) Which do you expect to have the largest standard deviation and which do you expect to have the smallest standard deviation? Explain your answers in terms of the formula
\(s = \sqrt {\frac{{\sum {\left( {x – \bar x} \right)} }}{{n – 1}}} \) (This is formula 2-4.)

30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30
20, 25, 25, 30, 30, 30, 30, 35, 35, 40
20, 20, 20, 25, 25, 35, 35, 40, 40, 40

Since the standard deviation measures average spread from the mean, the first data set, which shows no variation, has the smallest standard deviation, zero. The last data set would have the most variation because the mean is not in the set, and the values are more spread out from 30 in comparison to the middle data set where four values equal 30.

Solve the problem.
3) The frequency distribution below shows the amount of weight loss during the first month of a
diet program for both males and females. Compare the results and determine whether there appears to be a significant difference between the two genders.

There does not appear to be a significant difference.

MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question.
Use the pie chart to solve the problem.
