Chapter 3: Q17 (page 126)

In Exercises 17鈥�20, use the following cell phone airport data speeds (Mbps) from Sprint. Find the percentile corresponding to the given data speed.

0.2 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.6 0.6 0.7 0.8 1.0 1.1 1.1 1.2 1.2 1.6 1.6 2.1 2.1 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.7 2.7 2.7 3.2 3.4 3.6 3.8 4.0 4.0 5.0 5.6 8.2 9.6 10.6 13.0 14.1 15.1 15.2 30.4

2.4 Mbps

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of data speed equal to 2.4 Mbps is in the 58th percentile.

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

A list of 50 sprint data speeds is provided.

02

The formula for percentile 

A percentileof a value is the percentage of values that lie below that value in a sorted data set.

It is computed as follows for a value x of the data set:

Px=NumberofvaluesbelowxTotalnumberofvalues脳100

03

Computation to determine percentile for 2.4 Mbps

Steps to follow to compute the percentile.

  • Arrange the data speeds in ascending order.
  • Count the total number of values.
  • Count the number of values less than 2.4.
  • Perform the calculation as shown below:

Thus, the percentile for 2.4 Mbps speed is computed as follows:

P2.4=Numberofvaluesbelow2.4Totalnumberofvalues脳100=2950脳100=58

Therefore, a value of 2.4 Mbps lies in the 58th percentile.

Chebyshev鈥檚Theorem Based on Data Set 3 鈥淏ody Temperatures鈥� in Appendix B, body temperatures of healthy adults have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 98.20掳F and a standard deviation of 0.62掳F (using the data from 12 AM on day 2). Using Chebyshev鈥檚 theorem, what do we know about the percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures that are within 2 standard deviations of the mean? What are the minimum and maximum body temperatures that are within 2 standard deviations of the mean??

Harmonic Mean The harmonic mean is often used as a measure of center for data sets consisting of rates of change, such as speeds. It is found by dividing the number of values n by the sum of the reciprocals of all values, expressed as

n鈭�1x

(No value can be zero.) The author drove 1163 miles to a conference in Orlando, Florida. For the trip to the conference, the author stopped overnight, and the mean speed from start to finish was 38 mi/h. For the return trip, the author stopped only for food and fuel, and the mean speed from start to finish was 56 mi/h. Find the harmonic mean of 38 mi/h and 56 mi/h to find the true 鈥渁verage鈥� speed for the round trip.

In Exercises 5鈥�8, express all z scores with two decimal places.

Female Pulse Rates Pulse rates of adult females are listed in Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥� in Appendix B. The lowest pulse rate is 36 beats per minute, the mean of the listed pulse rates is x = 74.0 beats per minute, and their standard deviation is s = 12.5 beats per minute.

a. What is the difference between the pulse rate of 36 beats per minute and the mean pulse rate of the females?

b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]?

c. Convert the pulse rate of 36 beats per minutes to a z score.

d. If we consider pulse rates that convert to z scores between -2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the pulse rate of 36 beats per minute significant?

In Exercises 17鈥�20, use the following cell phone airport data speeds (Mbps) from Sprint. Find the percentile corresponding to the given data speed.

In Exercises 33鈥�36, use the range rule of thumb to identify the limits separating values that are significantly low or significantly high

Pulse Rates of Females Based on Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥� in Appendix B, females have pulse rates with a mean of 74.0 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 12.5 beats per minute. Is a pulse rate of 44 beats per minute significantly low or significantly high? (All of these pulse rates are measured at rest.)
