1. Here are the minutes of exercise per week of 20 participants who have enrolled in an exercise program:

10,0,30,30,0,10,20,40,60,10,15,30,0,10,30,60,0,20,10,0

1. Enter the data in SPSS
2. Calculate the mean, standard deviation, minimum value, maximum value and range. What are they?
   Mean:
   Standard deviation:
   Minimum:
   Maximum:
3. The mean number of minutes of exercise per week of adults in the US population is 24.0. The standard deviation for the national sample (population standard deviation) is 6.4. Compute the \(z\) -score using the sample mean found in part (b) and find its percentile rank. Explain what this percentile rank means in the context of this question. (do this by hand)
