Chapter 6: Q1 (page 281)

Normal Quantile Plot Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥� in Appendix B includes the heights of 147 randomly selected women, and heights of women are normally distributed. If you were to construct a histogram of the 147 heights of women in Data Set 1, what shape do you expect the histogram to have? If you were to construct a normal quantile plot of those same heights, what pattern would you expect to see in the graph?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The histogram of the 147 heights would be bell-shaped.

The normal quantile plot of the heights of 147 women will have points that follow a straight-line pattern.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The heights of 147 women are normally distributed.

02

Shape of the normal distribution

When a set of data that is normally distributed is plotted on a histogram, the histogram is bell-shaped.

Here, the heights of women are normally distributed.

Thus, the histogram of the 147 heights would be bell-shaped.

03

Pattern of normal quantile plot

If a set of data that is normally distributed is plotted on a normal quantile plot, the points on the plot follow a straight-line pattern.

Here, the normal quantile plot of the heights of 147 women will have points that follow a straight-line pattern.

What is the difference between a standard normal distribution and a non-standard normal distribution?

Using a Formula to Describe a Sampling Distribution Exercise 15 鈥淏irths鈥� requires the construction of a table that describes the sampling distribution of the proportions of girls from two births. Consider the formula shown here, and evaluate that formula using sample proportions (represented by x) of 0, 0.5, and 1. Based on the results, does the formula describe the sampling distribution? Why or why not?

Px=122-2x!2x!wherex=0,0.5,1

Distributions In a continuous uniform distribution,

渭=minimum+maximum2鈥�鈥�鈥�and蟽=range12

a. Find the mean and standard deviation for the distribution of the waiting times represented in Figure 6-2, which accompanies Exercises 5鈥�8.

b. For a continuous uniform distribution with 渭=0鈥�鈥�鈥�and鈥�鈥�鈥�蟽=1, the minimum is-3 and the maximum is 3. For this continuous uniform distribution, find the probability of randomly selecting a value between 鈥�1 and 1, and compare it to the value that would be obtained by incorrectly treating the distribution as a standard normal distribution. Does the distribution affect the results very much?

In Exercises 9鈥�12, find the indicated IQ score and round to the nearest whole number. The graphs depict IQ scores of adults, and those scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 (as on the Wechsler IQ test).

Standard Normal DistributionIn Exercises 17鈥�36, assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. In each case, draw a graph, then find the probability of the given bone density test scores. If using technology instead of Table A-2, round answers

to four decimal places.
