EOCT Practice #1Sophia is a student at Windsfall High School. These histograms give information about the number of hours spent volunteering by each of the students in Sophia’s homeroom and by each of the students in the tenth-grade class at her school.

a) Find the medians and quartiles for the 2 groups.

EOCT Practice #2Old Faithful, a geyser in Yellowstone National park, is renowned for erupting fairly regularly. In more recent times, it has become less predictable. It was observed that the time interval between eruptions was related to the duration of the most recent eruption. The distribution of its interval times for 2011 is shown below.

a) Does the distribution seem normal, skewed, or uniform?

b) What does the distribution tell you about the time between eruptions?

Probability

is the measure of how likely an

event is (written as a ratio)

Probability of an event

The number of ways the event can occur divided by the total number of possible outcomes

P(A) = The number of ways an event can occur

Total number of possible outcomes

P(odd) =
