Chapter 3: Q. 3.115 (page 122)

A quantitative data set has size 50. At least how many observations lie within three standard deviation to either side of the mean?

Short Answer

Expert verified

45 observations lie within three standard deviation to either side of the mean.

Step by step solution

01

Given information.

We have been given that,

data size= 50, K=3

We need to find the number of observation lie within three standard deviation of the mean.

02

Simplify.

Chebyshev's Rule: At least 1001-1K2%of the data values is written kstandard deviation from the mean k>1.

Now,

Using Chebyshev's Rule with k=3,we know that at least

1001-1K2%=1001-132%=10089%=89%

is within three standard deviation from the mean.

The number of observations within three standard deviation of the mean is the product of the percentage and sample size n,

89%脳50=.89脳50=45

Thus, at least 45observations lie within three standard deviation of the mean.

Obesity. Researchers in obesity wanted to compare the effectiveness of dieting with exercise against dieting without exercise. Seventy-three patients were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1. composed of 37patients, was put on a program of dieting with exercise. Group 2. composed of 36patients, dieted only. The results for weight loss, in pounds, after 2months are summarized in the following boxplots. The top boxplot is for Group 1. and the bottom boxplot is for Group 2. Use the boxplots to compare the weight losses for the two groups, paying special attention to center and variation.

In each Exercises 3.82-3.90, use the technology of your choice to determine and interpret the range and sample standard deviation for those data sets to which those concepts apply. If those concepts don't apply, explain why. Note: If an exercise contains more than one data set, perform the aforementioned tasks for each data set.

U.S. Hospitals. The American Hospital Association conducts annual surveys of hospitals in the United States and publishes its findings in AHA Hospital Statistics. Data on hospital type for U.S. registered hospitals can be found on the WeissStats site. For convenience, we use the following abbreviations:
