www.imdb.com• Go to www.imdb.com and select IMDb Top 250. (To

find this link, scroll down and look for User’s Favorites in the sidebar on the left.) This list ranks the top 250 movies as voted by regular users of the Internet Movie Database (IMDb).

• (Note: These are listed by ranking, not by number of voters. The voters did not vote for a favorite movie; rather, they ranked the movies on a scale of 0–10).

• You will compute statistics on the number of voters who provided input on the movies, without actually using 250 pieces of data in your calculation. (If you wish, choose the IMDb Bottom 100 instead.)

• Use your calculator or a random number table or www.random.org to select 10 of the 250 movies.

• Write down the name of each movie, its rank on the list, and the number of voters who ranked it.
