Creating a boxplot:
The Casio Prizm features 3 different graph
pre-set slots. We will use the GRAPH2 slot to
create the median boxplot of the shoe size data.
24. QUIT to the initial Statistics screen (Ld),
open the GRAPH soft menu (q), and go to
the Graph Settings (u).

Probability Distributions
Investigating normal distributions:
Suppose that the lifespan of a compact florescent life bulb
is roughly normally distributed with a mean of 10,000 hours
and a standard deviation of 1,300 hours. What percentage
of life bulbs will have between 12,000 and 15,000 hours of usage?

Constructing confidence intervals
for the z distribution:
Suppose that a commercial for a new cereal is measuring its level
of brand name recognition. 200 people are surveyed and 42 of them
are familiar with the product. Construct a 95% confidence interval
for the proportion of people for whom the commercial succeeded.
