Answer to Question 1

Answers will vary. Possible answer: The standard normal distribution has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1 while a nonstandard normal distribution can have any mean and standard deviation. It is necessary to standardize nonstandard normal distributions because a table of areas is available for the standard normal distribution but not for other normal distributions.

Answer to Question 2

Answers can vary. Possible answer: Each of the five classes should have the same width, and there are 46 values (including the minimum of 28 and the maximum of

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
