Answer the following problems showing your work and explaining (or analyzing) your results.

1. The final exam scores listed below are from one section of MATH 200.  How many scores were within one standard deviation of the mean? How many scores were within two standard deviations of the mean?

99   34   86   57   73   85    91   93   46    96   88   79    68   85   89

2. The scores for math test #3 were normally distributed. If 15 students had a mean score of 74.8% and a standard deviation of 7.57, how many students scored above an 85%?

3. If you know the standard deviation, how do you find the variance?

4. To get the best deal on a stereo system, Louis called 8 out of 20 appliance stores in his neighborhood and asked for the cost of a specific model. The prices he was quoted are listed below:
