a. A social psychologist interested in drinking behavior investigates the number of drinks served in bars in a particular city on a Friday during "happy hour." In the city, there are 213 bars.

b. To make a profit from a restaurant that specializes in low-cost quarter-pound hamburgers, it is necessary that each hamburger served weigh very close to 0.25 pound. Accordingly, the manager of the restaurant is interested in the variability among the weights of the hamburgers served each day. On a particular day, there are 450 hamburgers served. It would take too much time to weigh all 450, so the manager decides instead to weigh just 15. The following weights in pounds were obtained:

On the day of checking, the machine is set to produce 2-centimeter blanks.The acceptable tolerance is ±0.05 centimeter. It would take too much time to measure all 600 blanks produced in 1 day, so a representative group of 25 is selected. The following lengths in centimeters were obtained:
