Sleep 5-Number Summary For a sample of 100 sleep times, give the names of the values that constitute the 5-number summary. (The actual values can鈥檛 be identified; just give the names of those values.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The names of values are minimum value, first quartile, second quartile or median, third quartile, and maximum value.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The sampled number of sleep times is 100.

02

Define the five-number summary 

The five-number summary is the set of five values that are computed based on numerical data.

The values included in the five-number summary are listed below.

Minimum value: It represents the lowest value in the data set.

First quartile: It represents the middle value of the first half of the data set.

Second quartile or median: It represents the middle value in the data set.

Third quartile: It represents the middle value of the second half of the data set.

Maximum value: It represents the highest value in the data set.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Resistant Measures Here are four of the Verizon data speeds (Mbps) from Figure 3-1: 13.5, 10.2, 21.1, 15.1. Find the mean and median of these four values. Then find the mean and median after including a fifth value of 142, which is an outlier. (One of the Verizon data speeds is 14.2 Mbps, but 142 is used here as an error resulting from an entry with a missing decimal point.) Compare the two sets of results. How much was the mean affected by the inclusion of the outlier? How much is the median affected by the inclusion of the outlier?

Boxplot Comparison Refer to the boxplots shown below that are drawn on the same scale. One boxplot represents weights of men, and the other boxplot represents weights of women. Which boxplot represents weights of women? Explain.

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 centre. Here we find measures of variation.) Then answer the given questions.

Sales of LP Vinyl Record Albums Listed below are annual U.S. sales of vinyl record albums (millions of units). The numbers of albums sold are listed in chronological order, and the last entry represents the most recent year. Do the measures of variation give us any information about a changing trend over time?

0.3 0.6 0.8 1.1 1.1 1.4 1.4 1.5 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.2 0.9 0.9 1.0 1.9 2.5 2.8 3.9 4.6 6.1

Chebyshev鈥檚 Theorem 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 Chebyshev鈥檚 theorem, what do we know about the percentage of women with platelet counts that are within 3 standard deviations of the mean? What are the minimum and maximum platelet counts that are within 3 standard deviations of the mean?

In Exercises 21鈥�24, find the mean and median for each of the two samples, then compare the two sets of results.

Bank Queues Waiting times (in seconds) of customers at the Madison Savings Bank are recorded with two configurations: single customer line; individual customer lines. Carefully examine the data to determine whether there is a difference between the two data sets that is not apparent from a comparison of the measures of center. If so, what is it?

Single Line 390 396 402 408 426 438 444 462 462 462

Individual Lines 252 324 348 372 402 462 462 510 558 600
