Which measure of variation is preferred when

(a) the mean is used as a measure of center?

(b) the median is used as a measure of center?

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?

What condition on a data set is required to apply the Empirical rule?

Find the

a. Mean b. median c. mode

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

Daily Motorcycle Accidents. The Scottish Executive, Analy. tical Services Division Transport Statistics, compiles data on motor cycle accidents. During one year, the numbers of motorcycle accidents in Scotland were tabulated by day of the week for built-up roads and non-built-up roads and resulted in the following data .

a. Find the mean and median of the number of accidents for built-up roads.

b. Find the mean and median of the number of accidents for non built-up roads.
c. If you had a list of only the day of the week for each accident, what day would be the modal day for each type of road?
d. What might explain the difference in the modal days for the two types of roads?

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.
