In Exercises 9 鈥12, consider a value to be significantly low if its z score is less than or equal to -2 or consider the value to be significantly high if its z score is greater than or equal to 2.

Quarters Data Set 29 鈥淐oin Weights鈥 lists weights (grams) of quarters manufactured after 1964. Those weights have a mean of 5.63930 g and a standard deviation of 0.06194 g. Identify the weights that are significantly low or significantly high.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The values of weights equal to or greater than 5.76318 grams are significantly high, and the values of weights equal to or less than 5.51542 grams are significantly low.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The sample mean for the weights is given to be equal to 5.63930 grams.

The sample standard deviation for the weights is given to be equal to 0.06194 grams.

02

Formula of z-score

The given formula is used to calculate thez-scoreof a value. The z-score value gives the number of standard deviations an observation is above or below the mean value.

Z=x-xs

An observation that has a z-score equal to or less than -2 is a significantly low value.

An observation that has a z-score equal to or larger than 2 is a significantly high value.

03

Identify the weights that are significantly low or high

The significantly low weights are calculated as shown below:

Z-2x-xs-2x-5.639300.06194-2x5.51542

Hence, the weights equal to or less than 5.51542 grams aresignificantly low.

The significantly high weights are calculated as shown below:

Z2x-xs2x-5.639300.061942x5.76318

Hence, the weights equal to or larger than 5.76318 grams aresignificantly high.

In Exercises 5鈥20, find the range, variance, and standard deviation for the given sample data. Include appropriate units (such as 鈥渕inutes鈥) in your results. (The same data were used in Section 3-1, where we found measures of center. Here we find measures of variation.) Then answer the given questions.

Football Player Numbers Listed below are the jersey numbers of 11 players randomly selected from the roster of the Seattle Seahawks when they won Super Bowl XLVIII. What do the results tell us?

In Exercises 21鈥24, find the coefficient of variation for each of the two samples; then compare the variation. (The same data were used in Section 3-1.) 21.

Pulse Rates Listed below are pulse rates (beats per minute) from samples of adult males and females (from Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥 in Appendix B). Does there appear to be a difference?

The Empirical Rule Based on Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥 in Appendix B, blood platelet counts of women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 255.1 and a standard deviation of 65.4. (All units are 1000 cells/L.) Using the empirical rule, what is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts

a. within 2 standard deviations of the mean, or between 124.3 and 385.9?

b. between 189.7 and 320.5?

Trimmed Mean Because the mean is very sensitive to extreme values, we say that it is not a resistant measure of center. By deleting some low values and high values, the trimmed mean is more resistant. To find the 10% trimmed mean for a data set, first arrange the data in order, then delete the bottom 10% of the values and delete the top 10% of the values, then calculate the mean of the remaining values. Use the axial loads (pounds) of aluminum cans listed below (from Data Set 30 鈥淎luminum Cans鈥 in Appendix B) for cans that are 0.0111 in. thick. An axial load is the force at which the top of a can collapses. Identify any outliers, then compare the median, mean, 10% trimmed mean, and 20% trimmed mean.

Critical Thinking. For Exercises 5鈥20, watch out for these little buggers. Each of these exercises involves some feature that is somewhat tricky. Find the (a) mean, (b) median, (c) mode, (d) midrange, and then answer the given question.

Caffeine in Soft Drinks Listed below are measured amounts of caffeine (mg per 12 oz of drink) obtained in one can from each of 20 brands (7-UP, A&W Root Beer, Cherry Coke, . . . , Tab).
