Chapter 3: Q 3.5. (page 100)

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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Mean =5and median =5

b) Mean =15and median=5

c) The mean is neither central nor typical for the data. Since lack of resistance property of the mean accounts

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information. 

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

02

Step 2. Obtain the mean and median of the data. 

Mean=SumofallobservationNumberofobservation

=1+12+3+4+5+6+7+8+99=459=5

Median is the middle of the observation.

So, median=5

03

Step 3.  Replace the 9 in the data set by 99 and again compare the mean and median. Decide which measure of the center works better here and explain your answer. 

Mean=1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+999=1359=15

Median is the middle of the observation.

Median=5

04

Step 4.  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. 

The mean is neither central nor typical for the data. Since lack of resistance property of the mean accounts

Magazine Ads. Advertising researchers F. Shuptrine and D. McVicker wanted to determine whether there were significant differences in the readability of magazine advertisements. Thirty magazines were classified based on their educational level-high, mid, or low-and then three magazines were randomly selected from each level. From each magazine, six advertisements were randomly chosen and examined for readability. In this particular case, readability was characterized by the numbers of words, sentences, and words of three syllables or more in each ad. The researchers published their findings in the article "Readability Levels of Magazine Ads" (Journal of Adrertiving Reseanch, Vol. 21,No.5,pp.45-51). The number of words of three syllables or more in each ad are provided on the Weissstats site.

Identify by name three important groups of percentiles .

We have provided simple data set for you to practices the basics of finding measures of center. For each data set determine the:

a) Mean

b)Median

c) Mode.

The given data set is:4,2,0,2,2.

Cuckoo Care. Many species of cuckoos are brood parasites. The females lay their eggs in the nests of smaller bird species, who then raise the young cuckoos at the expense of their own young. Data on the lengths, in millimeters (mm), of cuckoo eggs found in the nests of three bird species - the Tree Pipit. Hedge Sparrow, and Pied Wagtail - were collected by the late O.M. Latter in 1902and used by L.H.C. Tippett in his text The Methods of States (New York Wiley, 1952. p. 176). Use the following boxplots to compare the lengths of cuckoo eggs found in nests of the three bird species, paying special attention to center and variation.

Find the

a. Mean b. median c. models

For the mean and the median, round each answer to one more decimal place than that used for the observations.

Hurricanes. An article by D. Schaefer et al. reported on a long-term study of the effects of hurricanes on tropical streams of the Luquillo Experinental Forest in Puerto Rico. The study shows that Hurricane Hugo had a significant impact on stream water chemistry. The following table shows a sample of 10ammonia fluxes in the first year after Hugo. Data are in kilograms per hectare per year.
