Japanese Vehicle Exports. The Japan Automobile Manufacturer's Association provides data on exported vehicles in Motor Vehicle Statistics of Japan. In 2010, cars, trucks, and buses constituted role="math" localid="1652953934057" 88.3%,9.3%, and 2.4% of vehicle exports, respectively. A random sample of last year's exports yielded the vehicle-type data on the WeissStats site.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

In 2010, cars, trucks, and buses constituted 88.3%,9.3%, and 2.4% of vehicle exports, respectively.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

MINITAB is used to get the frequency.

The following is how you get the frequency.

Tally Individual Variables > Stat > Tables

Select TYPE from the Variables menu.

Select Counts in Display.

Click OK

Below is a screenshot of the MINITAB output.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

In 2010, cars, trucks, and buses constituted 88.3%,9.3%, and 2.4% of vehicle exports, respectively.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

The relative frequency is expressed as follows:

RelativeFrequency=FrequencyNumberofObservations

The frequency distribution is presented in the table below.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given Information

In 2010, cars, trucks, and buses constituted 88.3%,9.3%, and 2.4% of vehicle exports, respectively.

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

MINITAB was used to make the pie graph.

The fraction for each class in a pie chart is calculated by multiplying 360oby the relative frequencies for that class.

To make a pie chart, follow these steps:

- Select Pie Chart from the Graph menu.

- Choose unique data counts in the chart.

- Select an option.

- Go to the tab Labels.

- Select the Labels for Slides tab.

- Under Label pie slices with, look for Category name and Percent.

- Click OK

The figure following shows the pie chart for the supplied data set.

07

Part (d) Step 1: Given Information

In 2010, cars, trucks, and buses constituted 88.3%,9.3%, and 2.4% of vehicle exports, respectively.

08

Part (d) Step 2: Explanation

MINITAB has been used to create the bar chart.

The steps to making a bar chart are as follows:

  • Navigate to Graph > Bar Chart.
  • Select Counts of unique values from the Bars to represent the menu. Click OK after selecting Simple.
  • Add one column of CLASS LIMITS to Categorical variables.
  • Select your chart options
  • Click the Show Yas Percent option.
  • Click OK

The figure shows the bar chart for the supplied data set.

Distribution of a variable.

A variable of a population has a left-skewed distribution.

a. If a large simple random sample is taken from the population, roughly what shape will the distribution of the sample have? Explain your answer.

b. If two simple random samples are taken from the population, would you expect the two sample distributions to have identical shapes? Explain your answer.

c. If two simple random samples are taken from the population, would you expect the two sample distributions to have similar shapes? If so, what shape would that be? Explain your answers.

The Court's Burrow. The subterranean color (Spalacopus cyan) is a social rodent that lives in large colonies in underground burrows that can reach lengths of up to 600 meters. Zoologists S. Begall and M. Gallardo studied the characteristics of the burrow systems of the subterranean color in central Chile and published their findings in the Journal of Zoology, Landen (Vol. 251, pp. 53-60). A sample of 51 burrows, whose depths were measured in centimeters, yielded the following frequency histogram.

The Great White Shark. In an article titled "Great White, Deep Trouble" (National Geographic, Vol. 197(4). pp. 2-29). Peter Benchley - the author of JAWS - discussed various aspects of the Great White Shark (Carcharodon Carcharias). Data on the number of pups borne in a lifetime by each of 80 Great White Shark females are given on the WeissStats site.

a. use the technology of your choice to identify the modality and symmetry (or non-symmetry) of the distribution of the data set.

b. if unimodal, classify the distribution as symmetric right-skewed. or left-skewed.
