Question 1
The histogram shows suicide rates per 100,000 residents of Country X and the number of states that had these rates. Use this histogram to solve the problem.
(i) Find the median suicide rate per 100,000 residents for Country X by state.
(iii) Find the third quartile by determining the median of the upper half of the data.
◦ (i) median = 18;
(ii) third quartile = 22.5
◦ (i) median = 19;
(ii) third quartile = 22
◦ (i) median = 19.5;
(ii) third quartile = 20.5
◦ (i) median = 18;
(ii) third quartile = 21
Question 2

◦ a. ± 5.2% b. There is a 95% probability that the true population percentage lies between 29.8% and 40.2%.
◦ a. ± 5.2% b. There is a 95% probability that the true population percentage lies between 24.8% and 35.2%.
◦ a. ± 5.2% b. There is a 99% probability that the true population percentage lies between 29.8% and 40.2%.
◦ a. ± 19.261% b. There is a 95% probability that the true population percentage lies between 29.8% and 40.2%.
