b. Use part (a)to identify any outliers.

c. Use partto assess the normality of the variable under consideration.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The above is the normal probability plot for frequency of cremation burials.

b. The outliers are present in the plot at 2484.

c. The frequencies of cremation burials are not approximately normally distributed.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

A normal probability plot of the given data.

First arrange the given data in ascending order and then obtain the normal scores from the table.

Draw the normal probability plot.

Hence, the above is the normal probability plot for frequency of cremation burials.

Each year, thousands of high school students bound for college take the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT). This test measures the verbal and mathematical abilities of prospective college students. Student scores are reported on a scale that ranges from a low of 200to a high of 800. Summary results for the scores are published by the College Entrance Examination Board in College Bound Seniors. In one high school graduating class, the SAT scores are as provided on the WeissStats site. Use the technology of your choice to answer the following questions.

a. Do the SAT verbal scores for this class appear to be approximately normally distributed? Explain your answer.

b. Do the SAT math scores for this class appear to be approximately normally distributed? Explain your answer.
