You should work each of the following on your own, then review the solutions guide. DO NOT look at the solutions guide first.
1. Explain the difference between a population and a sample. In which of these is it important to distinguish between the two in order to use the correct formula? mean; median; mode; range; quartiles; variance; standard deviation.
2. The following numbers represent the weights in pounds of six 7-year old children in Mrs. Jones' 2nd grade class. {25, 60, 51, 47, 49, 45}
Find the mean; median; mode; range; quartiles; variance; standard deviation.

4. If we have the following data
34, 38, 22, 21, 29, 37, 40, 41, 22, 20, 49, 47, 20, 31, 34, 66 Draw a stem and leaf. Discuss the shape of the distribution.
5. What type of relationship is shown by this scatter plot?
