Chapter 3: Q39 (page 96)

Geometric Mean The geometric mean is often used in business and economics for finding average rates of change, average rates of growth, or average ratios. To find the geometric mean of n values (all of which are positive), first multiply the values, then find the nth root of the product. For a 6-year period, money deposited in annual certificates of deposit had annual interest rates of 5.154%, 2.730%, 0.488%, 0.319%, 0.313%, and 0.268%. Identify the single percentage growth rate that is the same as the five consecutive growth rates by computing the geometric mean of 1.05154, 1.02730, 1.00488, 1.00319, 1.00313, and 1.00268.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The growth rate is 1.5290%.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The observations for growth rates are 1.05154, 1.02730, 1.00488, 1.00319, 1.00313, and 1.00268, corresponding the interest rates of 5.154%, 2.730%, 0.488%, 0.319%, 0.313%, and 0.268%, respectively.

02

Geometric mean formula

For n observations, the geometric mean is the nth root of the product of all positive observations.

Mathematically, it can be written as

x炉=鈭�xnfor x as the observations.

Substitute the values to obtain thegeometric mean of the growth rates.

x炉=1.05154脳1.02730脳1.00488脳1.00319脳1.00313脳1.002686=1.0953186=1.01529

The associated growth rate will be 1.529%.

Thus, the single percentage growth is 1.5290%

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?

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.

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.

Cell Phone Radiation Listed below are the measured radiation absorption rates (in W>kg) corresponding to these cell phones: iPhone 5S, BlackBerry Z30, Sanyo Vero, Optimus V, Droid Razr, Nokia N97, Samsung Vibrant, Sony Z750a, Kyocera Kona, LG G2, and Virgin Mobile Supreme. The data are from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The media often report about the dangers of cell phone radiation as a cause of cancer. The FCC has a standard that a cell phone absorption rate must be 1.6 W>kg or less. If you are planning to purchase a cell phone, are any of the measures of center the most important statistic? Is there another statistic that is most relevant? If so, which one?

Range Rule of Thumb for Interpreting s The 20 brain volumes (cm3 ) from Data Set 8 鈥淚Q and Brain Size鈥� in Appendix B have a mean of 1126.0 cm3 and a standard deviation of 124.9 cm3. Use the range rule of thumb to identify the limits separating values that are significantly low or significantly high. For such data, would a brain volume of 1440 cm3 be significantly 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.

California Smokers In the California Health Interview Survey, randomly selected adults are interviewed.
