Question 2

By how much could the largest time, currently 424, be increased without affecting the value of the sample median? By how much could this value be decreased without affecting the value of the sample median?

Answer to Question 1

S = Capital punishment supporter
F = Female
M = Male
P(S  F) = P(S  F)  P(F) = (0.46 )(0.48 ) = 0.2208
Since P(S) = P(S  F) + P(S  M)  0.64 = 0.2208 + P(S  M), then, P(S  M) = 0.4192

Answer to Question 2

The largest value (currently 424 ) could be increased by any amount. Doing so will not change the fact that the middle two observations are 366 and 369, and hence, the median will not change. However, the value x = 424 cannot be changed to a number less than 369 (a change of 424 - 369 = 53 since that will lower the values(s) of the two middle observations.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
