Interpreting Normal Quantile Plots.In Exercises 5鈥�8, examine the normal quantile plot and determine whether the sample data appear to be from a population with a normal distribution.

Tornadoes The normal quantile plot represents the distances (miles) that tornadoes traveled (from Data Set 22 鈥淭ornadoes鈥� in Appendix B).

Short Answer

Expert verified

From the given normal quantile plot, it appears that the sample data of the distances (miles) that tornadoes travelled is not from a population that follows the normal distribution as the points do not form a straight-line pattern.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The normal quantile plot of the sample data of distances (miles) that tornadoes traveled is constructed.

02

Interpretation of the normal quantile plot

A normal quantile plot is used to assess the normality of the data.

In a normal quantile plot, if the points follow a straight-line pattern, then the sample is said to be taken from a normally distributed population.

Here, approximately no point on the plot lies close to the straight line.

Therefore, the sample ofdistances (miles) that tornadoes traveled does not appear to be from a normally distributed population.

Finding Bone Density Scores. In Exercises 37鈥�40 assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Bone density 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 bone density test score corresponding to the given information. Round results to two decimal places.

Find P99, the 99th percentile. This is the bone density score separating the bottom 99% from the top 1%.

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).

In Exercises 13鈥�20, use the data in the table below for sitting adult males and females (based on anthropometric survey data from Gordon, Churchill, et al.). These data are used often in the design of different seats, including aircraft seats, train seats, theater seats, and classroom seats. (Hint: Draw a graph in each case.)

Hybridization A hybridization experiment begins with four peas having yellow pods and one pea having a green pod. Two of the peas are randomly selected with replacement from this population.

a. After identifying the 25 different possible samples, find the proportion of peas with yellow pods in each of them, then construct a table to describe the sampling distribution of the proportions of peas with yellow pods.

b. Find the mean of the sampling distribution.

c. Is the mean of the sampling distribution [from part (b)] equal to the population proportion of peas with yellow pods? Does the mean of the sampling distribution of proportions always equal the population proportion?

Unbiased Estimators Data Set 4 鈥淏irths鈥� in Appendix B includes birth weights of 400 babies. If we compute the values of sample statistics from that sample, which of the following statistics are unbiased estimators of the corresponding population parameters: sample mean; sample median; sample range; sample variance; sample standard deviation; sample proportion?
