1. At a store, you buy 8 plums, 4 bananas, 6 apples, and 12 carrots.
Find the probabilty that one food item chosen at random is a piece of fruit.
# of pieces of fruit: 18
Total # of pieces to select from: 28
P(you pick a piece of fruit) = 18/28 = 9/14
------------------------------------------------------

2. Write two data sets with a range equal to 35 but with different standard deviations. You do not need to calculate the standard deviations.
1st Set: {1,36}
2nd Set: (1,2,36}
