Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information 

We are given that,

Sorted data is given in the Weiss stats which are as follows,

23,41,49,52,66,72,80,91,96,100,105,106,108,109,110,112,114,116,117,118,119,119,119,121,121,121,121,122,123,123,123,123,124,124,124,124,124,124,125,125,125,125,125,125,125,127,127,128,128,129,129,129,130,131,131,132,132,133,133,135,135,135,135,136,136,136,136,137,137,137,138,138,138,138,138,138,138,139,140,140,141,142,142,143,143,144,144,144,144,144,145,145,146,146,147,147,147,147,148,148,149,149,149,149,150,150,150,151,152,152,152,152,153,153,153,153,153,153,153,153,155,156,156,157,157,157,158,158,158,158,158,158,158,158,158,159,160,161,162,162,163,163,163,163,163,164,164,165,166,166,166,167,167,167,169,170,171,171,172,173,174,174,175,175,176,177,177,179,179,180,181,181,182,182,183,183,183,183,183,183,185,187,188,190,190,191,193,194,194,195,196,201,202,205,207,207,207,210,212,213,213,217,217,217,227,227,227,230,230,232,236,236,240,241,242,250,255,259,260,260,269,274,285,307,333,388,425,467,493

02

Part (a) Step 2: Simplify 

As we know that median is the middle value of a sorted data set. Since the number of data values is odd, the median is:-

Q2=153

So, roughly 50%{"x":[[34,6,7,5,6,13,25,32,34,32,23,10,4],[55,43,41,42,49,60,69,70,69,67,55],[170.5,165.5,145.5,138.5,130.5],[132.5],[156.5]],"y":[[9,9,9,51,51,50,49,58,84,110,116,114,95],[116,113,63,19,9,9,21,55,94,113,117],[25,36,85,104,120],[51],[110]],"t":[[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],[1650717768775,1650717768927,1650717768973,1650717768992,1650717769138],[1650717770673],[1650717771831]],"version":"2.0.0"}the lengths of Beetles' songs below 153s.

Now, the first quartile is the median of values below Q2i.e.

Q1=132+1332=132.5

So, roughly 25%{"x":[[5,4,16,30,35,27,4,4,35],[73,45,45,44,45,54,66,72,73,72,67,48,43],[159,156,136,132,132,131],[132,131,128,126,120,119,119,119,119,120,122,126,129,130,132,134,134,134,134,134,134],[170,170,161,161,164,169,172,175,178,182,185,187,189,189,189,187,183,182,179,178,177,176,175,170,170,170,169,169,168]],"y":[[30,16,8,11,25,51,116,116,116],[9,9,9,51,51,48,51,63,88,107,116,116,97],[12,38,128,138,137,137],[39,39,39,39,36,33,32,30,27,27,27,27,27,27,27,29,30,31,34,35,36],[100,102,122,127,128,129,130,130,130,130,130,128,117,114,112,110,110,109,108,107,107,107,107,109,110,111,112,113,113]],"t":[[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],[1650718507573,1650718507802,1650718507949,1650718508280,1650718508304,1650718508375],[1650718510868,1650718511004,1650718511042,1650718511060,1650718511103,1650718511126,1650718511144,1650718511159,1650718511179,1650718511300,1650718511312,1650718511328,1650718511344,1650718511361,1650718511383,1650718511466,1650718511474,1650718511512,1650718511604,1650718511635,1650718511947],[1650718513335,1650718513447,1650718513534,1650718513554,1650718513592,1650718513617,1650718513631,1650718513648,1650718513664,1650718513684,1650718513702,1650718513716,1650718513810,1650718513837,1650718513852,1650718513904,1650718513920,1650718513939,1650718513968,1650718513986,1650718514059,1650718514119,1650718514141,1650718514255,1650718514315,1650718514562,1650718514595,1650718514612,1650718514628]],"version":"2.0.0"}the lengths of Beetles' songs below 132.5s.

Now, the first quartile is the median of values below Q2i.e.

Q3=181+1822=181.5

So, roughly 75%{"x":[[4,32,32,4],[71,43,43,42,43,52,64,70,71,70,65,46,41],[153,153,153,127,117,115,114,113,113],[114],[153]],"y":[[9,9,9,115],[9,9,9,51,51,48,51,63,88,107,116,116,97],[5.5,9.5,13.5,100.5,127.5,133.5,135.5,136.5,137.5],[56.5],[114.5]],"t":[[0,0,0,0],[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],[1650718707557,1650718707670,1650718707680,1650718707794,1650718707823,1650718707836,1650718707850,1650718707869,1650718707883],[1650718708810],[1650718709601]],"version":"2.0.0"} the lengths of Beetles' songs below181.5s

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information 

We need to find out the interquartile range

04

Part (b) Step 2: Simplify 

The interquartile range is the difference between Q1and Q3Q3

IQR=Q3-Q1=181.5-132.5=49

The middle 50%{"x":[[34,6,7,5,6,13,25,32,34,32,23,10,4],[55,43,41,42,49,60,69,70,69,67,55],[147.5,134.5,126.5,106.5,102.5,100.5,100.5,99.5],[107.5],[137.5]],"y":[[9,9,9,51,51,50,49,58,84,110,116,114,95],[116,113,63,19,9,9,21,55,94,113,117],[4,36,56,115,129,131,133,133],[23],[90]],"t":[[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],[1650719068908,1650719069110,1650719069137,1650719069205,1650719069238,1650719069244,1650719069278,1650719069305],[1650719070659],[1650719071709]],"version":"2.0.0"}the lengths of Beetles' songs vary by49s.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given information 

We need to find out the five-number summary

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation 

The five-number summary is minimum=23, first quartile=132.5, second quartile=153, third quartile=181.5 and maximum=493.

07

Part (d) Step 1: Given information 

We need to find out the potential outliers.

08

Part (d) Step 2: Simplify 

An outlier is more than 1.5IQRor greater than Q3or less thanQ1

Therefore,

Q3+1.5IQR=181.5+(1.5×49)=255Q3-1.5IQR=132.5-(1.5×49)=59

Hence, there are many outliers i.e. 23,41,49,52,259,260,260,269,274,285,307,333,388,425,467,493because it does not lie between 59and255

09

Part (e) Step 1: Given information 

We need to find the boxplot which is given below

10

Part(e) Step 2: Simplify 

The whiskers of the boxplot are at a low and high value. The box starts at Q1and ends at Q3and has a straight line at the median.

Most popular questions from this chapter

State pertinent properties of boxplots for symmetric, left-skewed and right-skewed distributions.

Age of U.S. Residents. The U.S. Census Bureau collects information about the ages of people in the United States. Results are published in Current Population Reports

a. Identify the variable and population under consideration.

b. A sample of six U.S. residents yielded the following data on ages (in years). Determine the median of these age data. Decide whether this descriptive measure is a parameter or a statistic, and use statistical notation to express the result.


c. By consulting the most recent census data, we found that the median age of all US residents is 37.2yrs. Decide whether that descriptive measure is a parameter or a statistic and use statistical notation to express the result

Determine the age and sample standard deviation for each of the due sets. For the sample standard deviation round each answer to one more decimal place than that used for the observation.

Tornado Touchdowns. Each year, tornadoes that touch down are recorded by the Storm Prediction Center and published in Months Tomade Statistics. The following table gives the number of tornadoes that touched down in the United States during each month of one year [SOURCE: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

What does Chebyshev's rule say about the percentage of observations that lie within one standard deviation to either side of the mean? Discuss your answer.

A company produces cans of stewed tomatoes with an advertised weight of 14oz. The standard deviation of the weights is known to be 0.4oz. A quality - control engineer selects a can of stewed tomatoes at random and finds its net weight to be 17.28oz.

Part (a): Estimate the relative standing of that can of stewed tomatoes, assuming the true mean weight is 14oz. Use the z-score and Chebyshev's rule.

Part (b): Does the quality - control engineer have reason to suspect that the true mean weight of all cans of stewed tomatoes being produced is not 14oz? Explain your answer.
