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 Males Based on Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥 in Appendix B, males have pulse rates with a mean of 69.6 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 11.3 beats per minute. Is a pulse rate of 50 beats per minute significantly low or significantly high? (All of these pulse rates are measured at rest.) Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The significant values are separated using limits equal to(47.0 beats per minute, 92.2 beats per minute).

The value equal to 50 beats per minute is not significant.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The mean male pulse rate is equal to 69.6 beats per minute.

The standard deviation of the male pulse rate is equal to 11.3 beats per minute.

02

Identifying the limits 

The given set of rules are used to compute the limits that separate the significant valuespresent in a dataset. Here, the mean is denoted by , and the standard deviation is denoted by .

Upper limit:+2

Lower limit: -2

The values equal to and above the upper limit are significantly high.

The values equal to and below the lower limit are significantly low.

The values in the interval of the limits are not significant.

The following are the calculations involved to compute the limits:

Lower limit:

-2=69.6-211.3=69.6-22.6=47.0

.

Upper limit:

+2=69.6+211.3=69.6+22.6=92.2

Therefore, the limits are equal to (47.0 beats per minute, 92.2 beats per minute).

03

Checking for significance

Since the value equal to 50 beats per minute lies in the interval of the limits (47.0,92.2), the value is not significant.

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. Herewe find measures of variation.) Then answer the given questions.

Why Divide by n 鈭 1? Let a population consist of the values 9 cigarettes, 10 cigarettes, and 20 cigarettes smoked in a day (based on data from the California Health Interview Survey). Assume that samples of two values are randomly selected with replacement from this population. (That is, a selected value is replaced before the second selection is made.)

a. Find the variance2 of the population {9 cigarettes, 10 cigarettes, 20 cigarettes}.

b. After listing the nine different possible samples of two values selected with replacement, find the sample variance s2 (which includes division by n - 1) for each of them; then find the mean of the nine sample variances s2.

c. For each of the nine different possible samples of two values selected with replacement, find the variance by treating each sample as if it is a population (using the formula for population variance, which includes division by n); then find the mean of those nine population variances.

d. Which approach results in values that are better estimates of2 part (b) or part (c)? Why? When computing variances of samples, should you use division by n or n - 1?

e. The preceding parts show that s2 is an unbiased estimator of 2. Is s an unbiased estimator of ? Explain

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.

Parking Meter Theft Listed below are amounts (in millions of dollars) collected from parking meters by Brinks and others in New York City during similar time periods. A larger data set was used to convict five Brinks employees of grand larceny. The data were provided by the attorney for New York City, and they are listed on the DASL Website. Do the two samples appear to have different amounts of variation?

Tallest and Shortest Men The tallest living man at the time of this writing is Sultan Kosen, who has a height of 251 cm. The shortest living man is Chandra Bahadur Dangi, who has a height of 54.6 cm. Heights of men have a mean of 174.12 cm and a standard deviation of 7.10 cm. Which of these two men has the height that is more extreme?

In Exercises 37鈥40, refer to the frequency distribution in the given exercise and find the standard deviation by using the formula below, where x represents the class midpoint, f represents the class frequency, and n represents the total number of sample values. Also, compare the computed standard deviations to these standard deviations obtained by using Formula 3-4 with the original list of data values: (Exercise 37) 11.5 years; (Exercise 38) 8.9 years; (Exercise 39) 59.5; (Exercise 40) 65.4.
