  • Samples of what you should know before Math 110:
    1. If x = 14 and y = 11, calculate the value open parenthesis x minus y close parenthesis squared
    2. Solve the following formula for x z equals start fraction x minus x bar over s end fraction  
    3. Given the function f of x equals 2 x minus 3, plot the points on the graph of this function for the x-values 2, 3, 4.
    4. Simplify the following expression and write the answer as a decimal.    1 minus 34 forty ninths     
    5. Graph the following inequality on a number line:   23.478 < x < 35.962 
  • Samples of what you will learn in Math 110:
    1.  For the given data set, build a stem-and-leaf plot. 12, 14, 14, 21, 22, 28, 29, 31, 33
    2. A die has 6 sides labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Find the probability of rolling a 2. 
    3. Find the probability that a coin is flipped 8 times and we get tails exactly 3 times.
    4. A sample is taken from a population. The sample values are 12, 14, 14, 21, 22, 28, 29, 31, 33.  Use a 5% significance to test the claim that the mean population value is above 29.0. 
      • Solution
        The evidence indicates that it is unlikely that the population mean is above 29.0.
    5. The following data are child ages and weights. Build a regression model and use the model to predict the weight of a 10-year-old child. Explain the prediction.
     
    6              6              7              8              8              9              9              10           11
    70           60           70           60           90           70           80           90           120
      • Solution
        The model is  Y hat equals 8 point 3 0 1 9 plus 8 point 5 8 4 9 x
        The predicted weight is y hat equals 94 point 1 5
        Based on our data, the predicted weight of a 10-year-old child is 94.15 pounds
