1. Health care issues are receiving much attention in both academic and political arenas. A sociologist recently conducted a survey of citizens over 60 years of age whose net worth is too high to qualify for Medicaid and have no private health insurance. The ages of 25 uninsured senior citizens were as follows:
60 61 62 63 64 65 66 68 68 69 70 73 73
74 75 76 76 81 81 82 86 87 89 90 92
Identify the first quartile of the ages of the uninsured senior citizens.

2. If either event A or event B must occur, then events A and B are said to be:
a. mutually exclusive.
b. statistically independent.
c. collectively exhaustive.
d. None of the above.

3. A company has 2 machines that produce widgets. An older machine produces 23% defective widgets, while the new machine produces only 8% defective widgets. In addition, the new machine produces 3 times as many widgets as the older machine does. Given that a widget was produced by the new machine, what is the probability it is not defective?
