1. Credit card companies use a scoring model to determine the credit worthiness of a prospective card holder. Factors such as income, employment, home ownership, and credit history determine one's score. Suppose an economist, interested in the current cutoff score used by financial institutions, randomly sampled 44 issuers and obtained the following scores.
643 640 630 635 632 641 641 639 641 637 646
638 636 635 629 630 638 641 633 634 636 638
647 635 638 632 634 644 635 637 632 636 640
633 640 639 630 636 642 638 643 633 631 635
