McDonald鈥檚 dinner service times refer to the accompanying table summarizing service times (seconds) of McDonald鈥檚 dinners. How many individuals are included in the summary? Is it possible to identify the exact values of all of the original service times?

Short Answer

Expert verified

In a McDonald鈥檚 dinner service time, 50 individuals are included in the summary.

The given data is grouped. Thus, it is not possible to identify the exact values of all the original service times.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The given data represents that the service time is in seconds of McDonald鈥檚 dinners. The table gives us the number of individuals served in the given interval of time.

02

Define frequency 

The frequency for any class in the table is the number of observations that fall into that class.

In the table, the second column represents the counts of diners who lie in different categories of time.

Let the frequency for the i-th class be represented by fi

03

Calculate the surveyed individuals

The total number of individuals included in the summary will be equal to the sum of the frequencies.

So, the total number of individuals included in the summary is

鈭�ifi=7+22+14+2+5=50

Therefore, the total number of individuals is 50.

04

Conclusion 

The exact values of all times cannot be identified as McDonald鈥檚 dinner service times are summarized for 50 diners in the form of categories. The service times are grouped in the form of classes.

Relative frequency distribution use percentages to construct the relative frequency distribution corresponding to the accompanying frequency distribution for McDonald鈥檚 dinner service times.

Expanded Stemplots A stemplot can be condensed by combining adjacent rows. We could use a stem of 鈥�6鈥�7鈥� instead of separate stems of 6 and 7. Every row in the condensed stemplot should include an asterisk to separate digits associated with the different stem values. A stemplot can be expanded by subdividing rows into those with leaves having digits 0 through 4 and those with leaves having digits 5 through 9. Using the body temperatures from 12 AM on Day 2 listed in Data Set 3 鈥淏ody Temperatures鈥� in Appendix B, we see that the first three rows of an expanded stemplot have stems of 96 (for leaves between 5 and 9 inclusive), 97 (for leaves between 0 and 4 inclusive), and 97 (for leaves between 5 and 9 inclusive). Construct the complete expanded stemplot for the body temperatures from 12 AM on Day 2 listed in Data Set 3 鈥淏ody Temperatures鈥� in Appendix B.

Pareto Charts. In Exercises 11 and 12 construct the Pareto chart. 1Journal Retractions In a study of retractions in biomedical journals, 436 were due to error, 201 were due to plagiarism, 888 were due to fraud, 291 were duplications of publications, and 287 had other causes (based on data from 鈥淢isconduct Accounts for the Majority of Retracted Scientific Publications,鈥� by Fang, Steen, Casadevall, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 110, No. 3). Among such retractions, does misconduct (fraud, duplication, plagiarism) appear to be a major factor?
