a ) Median :
Observations in the ascending order are :
3038,3306,3317,3383,4030,4081,4640,4962,5064,5528
Here, n=10 is even.
M=Value of(n/2)thobservation+Value of(n2+1)thobservation2
=Value of(10/2)thobservation+Value of(10/2+1)thobservation2
=Value of5thobservation+Value of6thobservation2
=4030+40812
=4055.5
b ) Sample Variance S2=∑x2-(∑x)2nn-1
=177855643-(41349)210/9
=177855643-170973980.1/9
=6881662.9/9

During the 2019 regular Major League baseball season there were 6755 home runs hit where the distance traveled was tracked. The distances of these home runs had a normal distribution with mean=400.21 feet and standard deviation 26.28 feet. Suppose we randomly select 2 home runs, and look at their distances traveled, D1 and D2. a) What is the probability that D1 > 428? b) What is the probability that D1 < 390? c) What is the expected value of D1...
