Chapter 3: Q. 18 (page 151)

Fossil Argonauts. In the article "Fossil Argonauts (Mollusca: Cephalopoda: Octopodida) from Late Miocene Slitstones of the Los Angeles Basin, California" paleontologists L. Saul and C. Stadium discussed fossilized Argonaut cgg cases from the late Miocene period found in California. A sample of 10fossilized egg cases yielded the following data on height, in millimeters. Obtain the mean. median. and mode(s) of these data.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The mean, mode and median of given sample are 30.53,33,32.5 respectively

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We are given sample of fossilized egg we have to find mean,median , mode of these data.

02

Simplify

Given data is 37.5,31.5,27.4,21.0,32.0,33.0,33.0,38.0,17.4,34.5

Mean x=鈭�xii=10n

where, n=Total number of data in Sample

x=37.5+31.5+27.4+21+32+33+33+38+17.4+34.510x=30.53

Mode - Highest occuring data in sample.

Mode =33.0

Median is middle data when arranged in ascending order.

Given data in ascending order will be

17.4,21,27.4,31.5,32,33,33,34.5,37.5,38

Here, we can see 32and 33are middle value. So we have to take average value.

Median =32+332=32.5

According to the document Dietary Guidelines for Americans published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, for adults, a BMI of greater than 25indicates an above healthy weight (i.e., overweight or obese). The BMIs of 75randomly selected U.S. adults have a mean of 26.0and a standard deviation of 5.0

a. Construct a graph
b. Apply Chebyshev's rule with k=2 to make pertinent statements about the observations in the sample.
c. repeat part (b) with k=3

Early-Onset Dementia. Dementia is the loss of intellectual and social abilities severe enough to interfere with judgment, behavior, and daily functioning. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia. In the article "Living with Early Onset Dementia: Exploring the Experience and Developing Evidence-Based Guidelines for Practice" (Alsheimer's Care Quarterly), P. Harris and J. Keady explored the experience and struggles of people diagnosed with dementia and their families. The ages of a simple random sample of 21people with early-onset dementia have a mean of 52.5years and a standard deviation of 6.5years.

a. construct a graph
b. Apply Chebyshev's rule with k=2 to make pertinent statements about the observations in the sample.
c. repeat part (b) with k=3
