Circle the correct answer (011-04, 1 mark each): 1 ‘Suppose a simple random sample is selected from a population with mean p and variance 0”, ‘The central limit theorem tells us that. (A) the sample mean X gets closer to the population mean jas the sample size increases. (B) if the sample size n is sufficiently large, the sample will be approximately Normal. (C) the mean of ¥ will be p if the sample size n is sufficiently large. (0))if the sample size is sufficiently large, the distribution of ¥ will be approximately Normal with mean and standard deviation o/ Vii. {E) the distribution of x will be Normal only if the population from which the sample is selected is also Normal. @ IF quartiles Q, = 20 and b= 30, which of the following must be true?

From the 2007 rosters of these two teams the weight of the players was determined and the following side-by-side boxplots of their weights is provided below: wy — = 320: ‘New Eland Saskatchewan Team Which of the following statements about these side-by-side boxplots is (are) TRUE? (A) The weights of the New England team exhibit less overall variation than the Saskatchewan team, (8) The median weight for the New England team is higher than the median weight for Saskatchewan. (C) The (QR (inter-quartile range) for the Saskatchewan team is greater than the IQR of the New England team. @aus () Bandc 5, Suppose the average score on a national test is S00 with a standard deviation of 100.

Robin Hood is competing in an archery tournament. He can score by hitting the target in three different areas: the “bullseye”, the “eight” ring, and the “six” ring. Any arrow not striking in those three areas is classified as a “miss’.. The table below shows Robin's probability of hitting the various target areas and the number of points scored for each area.
