Constructing Normal Quantile Plots. In Exercises 17鈥20, use the given data values to identify the corresponding z scores that are used for a normal quantile plot, then identify the coordinates of each point in the normal quantile plot. Construct the normal quantile plot, and then determine whether the data appear to be from a population with a normal distribution.

Female Arm Circumferences A sample of arm circumferences (cm) of females from Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥 in Appendix B: 40.7, 44.3, 34.2, 32.5, 38.5.

Short Answer

Z-scores

32.5

-1.28

34.2

-0.52

38.5

0

40.7

0.52

44.3

The normal quantile plot for given sample is:

The arm circumferences of females appear to be from a population with a normal distribution.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The sample arm circumferences of females in centimeters from data set 1鈥淏ody Data鈥 in Appendix B.

02

Arrange the given data in increasing order

Arrangement of the given sample data in increasing order:

32.5, 34.2, 38.5, 40.7, 44.3

In the given data, the sample size is 5. Each value is the proportion of 15of the sample.

So, the cumulative left areas can be expressed as

12n,32n,52n,andsoon

For the given sample size, , the cumulative left areas, can be expressed as

110,310,510,710and910

03

Find the Cumulative left areas.

The cumulative left areas expressed in decimal form are 0.1000, 0.3000, 0.5000, 0.7000, and 0.9000.

Referring to the standard normal distribution table, the z-score values corresponding to cumulative left area of 0.1000, 0.3000, 0.5000, 0.7000, and 0.9000 is equal to -1.28, -0.52, 0, 0.52, and 1.28.

04

Express the sample values and z-score in (x, y) coordinate

Pair thesample values of arm circumferences of females with the corresponding z-score in the form of (x, y) as:

(32.5, -1.28), (34.2, -0.52), (38.5, 0), (40.7, 0.52), (44.3, 1.28).

05

Sketch a Normal Quantile Plot  

Steps to draw a Normal quantile plot are as follows:

  1. Make horizontal axis and vertical axis.
  2. Mark the coordinates on the graph with observed values on x-axis and z- scores on y-axis.
  3. Provide title to horizontal and vertical axis as 鈥淴 values鈥 and 鈥淶-score鈥 respectively.
  4. The normal quartile plot is shown below.

06

Conclude from Normal Quantile Plot

From the normal quantile plot, thepoints appear to lie reasonably close to a straight line. So, the sample of arm circumferences of female appears to be from a normally distributed population.

Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean

a. After identifying the 16 different possible samples, find the mean of each sample, then construct a table representing the sampling distribution of the sample mean. In the table, combine values of the sample mean that are the same. (Hint: See Table 6-3 in Example 2 on page 258.)

b. Compare the mean of the population {34, 36, 41, 51} to the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

c. Do the sample means target the value of the population mean? In general, do sample means make good estimators of population means? Why or why not?

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).

Distributions In a continuous uniform distribution,

=minimum+maximum2and=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 =0and=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?

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.

Between -2.55 and -2.00.

Sampling with Replacement The Orangetown Medical Research Center randomly selects 100 births in the United States each day, and the proportion of boys is recorded for each sample.

a. Do you think the births are randomly selected with replacement or without replacement?

b. Give two reasons why statistical methods tend to be based on the assumption that sampling is conducted with replacement, instead of without replacement.
