Chapter 3: Q 3.85. (page 115)

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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The range and standard deviation for the given data can not be found.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

The survey is conducted on how members would like ballots for yearly elections to be delivered.

02

Step 2. Determine the data's range and standard deviation.

Range=max-min

s=鈭�xi2-鈭�xi2/nn-1

The categories will include the Ballot preferences in annual elections, it is a qualitative variable.

Finding the range and standard deviation is not possible for this data.

And to be able to find the range and standard deviation require numerical data, and hence a quantitative variable, for the provided data set.

Atlantic Basin Hurricanes. The Tropical Cyclone Report, a publication of the National Hurricane Center, contains comprehensive information on each tropical cyclone, including synoptic history, meteorological statistics, casualties, and damages. A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with winds that have reached a constant speed of 74milesperhouror more. During one year, there were 10Atlantic basin hurricanes. Their maximum wind speeds, in miles per hour (mph), were as shown in the following table.


Consider these storms a population of interest. Obtain the following parameters for the maximum wind speeds. Use the appropriate mathematical notation for the parameters to express your answers.

a. Mean

b. Standard deviation

c. Median

d. Mode

e. IQR

Copperhead and Tiger Snakes. S. Fearn et al. compare two types of snakes in the article 鈥淏ody Size and Trophic Divergence of Two Large Sympatric Elapic Snakes in Tasmania鈥� (Australian Journal of Zoology, Vol. 60, No. 3, pp. 159-165). Tiger snakes and lowland copperheads are both large snakes confined to the cooler parts of Tasmania. The weights of the male lowland copperhead in Tasmania have a mean of 812.07 g and a standard deviation of 330.24 g; the weights of the male tiger snake in Tasmania have a mean of 743.65 g and a standard deviation of 336.36 g.
a. Determine the z-scores for both a male lowland copperhead snake and a male tiger snake whose weights are 850 g.
b. Under what conditions would it be reasonable to use z-scores to compare the relative standings of the weights of the two snakes?
c. Assuming that a comparison using z-scores is legitimate, relative to the other snakes of its type, which snake is heavier?

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.

Identify an advantage that the median and interquartile range have over the mean and standard deviation, respectively.
