Chapter 3: Q. 3.181 (page 138)

Sickle Cell Disease. A study published by E. Anionwu et al. in the British Medical Journal (Vol. 282, pp. 283-286) examined the steady-state hemoglobin levels of patients with three different types of sickle cell disease: HB SC. HB SS. and HB ST. Use the following boxplots to compare the hemoglobin levels for the three groups of patients, paying special attention to center and variation.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The variation of hemoglobin levels of HB SC and HB SS is less than that of HB ST.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We need to find out the comparison of the hemoglobin levels for the three groups of patients, paying special attention to center and variation.

02

Explanation

The boxplot whiskers are of low and high value. The box starts at the lower quartile, finishes at the upper quartile, and has a straight line at the median.

Because their median is greater than that of HBSS patients, HB SC and HB ST patients have higher hemoglobin levels than HBSS patients.

Because the boxplot of the HB ST patent is wider than the boxplots of the HB SC and HB SS patients, the hemoglobin level of the HB ST patent is higher than the hemoglobin level of the HB SC and HB SS patients.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Consider the data set: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

a) Obtain the mean and median of the data.

b) Replace the 9in the data set by 99and again compare the mean and median. Decide which measure of the center works better here and explain your answer.

c) For the data set in part b) the mean is neither central nor typical for the data. The lack of what property of the mean accounts for this result.

a) Determine the mode of the data.
b) Decide whether it would be appropriate to use either the mean or median as a measure of center. Explain your answer.

Medical School Faculty. The Association of American Medical College (AAMC) in a compiles data on medical school facility and publishes the results in AAMC Faculty Roster. The following table presents a frequency distribution of rank for medical school faculty during one year.

Hospital Stays. The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics compiles data on the length of stay by patients in short-term hospitals and publishes its findings in Vital and Health Statistics, A random sample of 21 patients yielded the following data on length of stay, in days.

a. obtain and interpret the quartiles.

b. determine and interpret the interquartile range.

c. find and interpret the five-number summary:

d. identify potential outliers, if am:

e. construct and interpret a boxplot.

Explain why minimum and maximum observations are added to the three quartiles to describe better the variation in a data set.

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.

Ballot Preferences. In Issue 338 of the Amstat News, then president of the American Statistical Association, F. Scheuren reported the results of a survey on how members would prefer to receive ballots in annual elections. On the WeissStats site, you will find data for preference and highest degree obtained for the 566 respondents.
