Round your answer to the nearest whole number (percent).
Question 10
Is the statement below true or false?
Independent is the property of two events in which the knowledge that one of the events occurred does not affect the chance the other occurs.
Question 11
Brayden tosses a coin 500 times. Of those 500 times, he observes heads a total of 416 times. Calculations show that the probability of this occurring by chance is less than 0.01, assuming the coin is fair. Determine the meaning of the significance level.
Question 12
A spinner contains the numbers 1 through 80. What is the probability that the spinner will land on a number that is not a multiple of 11?
Question 13
Of the following pairs of events, which pair has mutually exclusive events?

Question 18
A student wants to know his average homework grade for the first half of his math class. There were 7 homeworks in the first half of the class, and his grades out of 100 are given by
100,90,95,89,92,85,95.
What is the population mean of his homework grades? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Question 19
The following data set represents the ages of all six grandchildren in a family.
Find the variance for this data set of ages:
6, 3, 14, 11, 14, 6
• Round the final answer to one decimal place.
Question 20
A poll was conducted during the final game of the basketball season to determine whether fans wanted to see the defending champions win the game or the challenging team win the game. From the poll, 216 of the 374 residents sampled from urban areas want the defending champions to win the game. In more rural areas, 304 of the 466 residents polled want the defending champions to win the game. Assuming location has nothing to do with team preference, the probability that the data gathered was the result of chance is calculated to be 0.03. What is the correct interpretation of this calculation?
