Consumers Union measured the gas mileage in
miles per gallon of 38 vehicles from the same model
year on a special test track. The pie chart provides
information about the country of manufacture of the
model cars tested by Consumers Union. Based on
the pie chart, we conclude that
(a) Japanese cars get significantly lower gas mileage than
cars from other countries.

(b) U.S. cars get significantly higher gas mileage than cars
from other countries.

(c) Swedish cars get gas mileages that are between those
of Japanese and U.S. cars.

(d) cars from France have the lowest gas mileage.

(e) more than half of the cars in the study were from the
United States.
Question #3
Earthquake intensities are measured using a device called a seismograph, which is
designed to be most sensitive to earthquakes with intensities between 4.0 and 9.0 on the
Richter scale. Measurements of nine earthquakes gave the following readings:

where L indicates that the earthquake had an intensity below 4.0 and an H indicates that the
earthquake had an intensity above 9.0. The median earthquake intensity of the sample is

(a) 5.75.

(b) 6.00.

(c) 6.47.

(d) 8.70.

(e) Cannot be determined.


Question #4
In a statistics class with 136 students, the

maximum of 50 points. The score distribution is given
in the following stem-and-leaf plot:
The third quartile of the score distribution is equal to
