Problem 4
The World Bank collects information on the life expectancy of a person in eachcountry (“Life expectancy at,” 2013) and the fertility rate per woman in thecountry (“Fertility rate,” 2013). The data for 24 randomly selected countries forthe year 2011 are in
table #3. Create a scatter plot of the data and state if thereappears to be a relationship between life expectancy and the number of births perwoman.

Problem 7
According to an article in the American Heart Association’s publicationCirculation, 24% of patients who had been hospitalized for an acute myocardialinfarction did not fill their cardiac medication by the seventh day of beingdischarged (Ho, Bryson & Rumsfeld, 2009). Suppose there are twelve peoplewho have been hospitalized for an acute myocardial infarction.
a.) State the random variable.
b.) Argue that this is a binomial experiment
Find the probability that
c.) All filled their cardiac medication.
d.) Seven did not fill their cardiac medication.
e.) None filled their cardiac medication.
f.) At most two did not fill their cardiac medication.
Problem 8

a.) State the random variable.
b.) Find the probability that a starting nurse will make more than $80,000.
c.) Find the probability that a starting nurse will make less than $60,000.
d.) If a nurse made less than $50,000, would you think the nurse was under paid?
Why or why not?
Problem 9
The WHO MONICA Project collected blood pressure data for people in China

Problem 10
The size of fish is very important to commercial fishing. A study conducted in2012 found the length of Atlantic cod caught in nets in Karlskrona to have a meanof 49.9 cm and a standard deviation of 3.74 cm (Ovegard, Berndt &Lunneryd, 2012). The length of fish is normally distributed. A sample of 15 fish is taken.
a.) State the random variable.
b.) Find the mean and standard deviation of the sample mean.
c.) Find the probability that the sample mean length of the Atlantic cod is lessthan
52 cm.
d.) Find the probability that the sample mean length of the Atlantic cod is morethan
74 cm.
e.) If you found sample mean length for Atlantic cod to be more than 74 cm, whatcould you conclude?
