Chapter 6: Q. 6.128 (page 285)

CITA collects data on cell phones and publishes the results in Semi-annual Wireless Survey. A sample of 15 monthly cell-phone bills gave the following data.

Part (a): Use Table III in Appendix A to construct a normal probability plot of the given data.

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

Part (c): Use part (a) to access the normality of the variable under consideration.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a): The required normal probability plot is given below,

Part (b): There are no outliers for the given data.

Part (c): The monthly cell phone bills follows normal distribution.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

Consider the given question,

02

Part (a) Step 2. Construct a normal probability plot.

Use Table III in Appendix A to construct the normal probability plot for the data on monthly cell phone bills.

A sample of 15monthly cell phone bills is considered.

From Appendix A, Table III, Normal scores, the z-scores corresponding to the column n=15for the data on monthly cell phone bills is tabulated below,

03

Part (a) Step 3. Plot the points.

Use the z-scores to construct normal probability plot for the given data,

04

Part (b) Step 1. Identify any outliers.

Consider the normal probability plot from part (a),

From the above probability plot, there are no unusual observations. Thus, it can be concluded that there are no outliers for the given data.

05

Part (c) Step 1. Access the normality of the variable under consideration.

Consider the normal probability plot from part (a),

From the probability of monthly cell phone bills, it is clear that all the points are close to the line.

Hence, it can be concluded that the monthly cell phone bills follows normal distribution.

In the special report "Mousetrap: The Most-Visited Shoe and Apparel E-tailers" (Footwear News. Vol. 58. No. 3. p. 18), we found the following data on the average time, in minutes, spent per user per month from January to June of one year for a sample of 15 shoe and apparel retail Web sites.

a. Obtain a normal probability plot of the given data.

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

c. Use part (a)to assess the normality of the variable under consideration.

Students in an introductory statistics course at the U.S. Air Force Academy participated in Nabisco's "Chips Ahoy! 1.000 Chips Challenge" by confirming that there were at least 1000 chips in every18-ounce bag of cookies that they examined. As part of their assignment, they concluded that the number of chips per bag is approximately normally distributed. Could the number of chips per bag be exactly normally distributed? Explain your answer. [SOURCE: B. Warner and J. Rutledge, "Checking the Chips Ahoy! Guarantee," Chance, Vol. 12(1). pp. 10-14]

According to Table II, the area under the standard normal curve that lies to the left of0.43 is 0.6664. Without further consulting Table II, determine the area under the standard normal curve that lies to the right of 0.43. Explain your reasoning.

27. Lower Limb Surgery. The study "Intrathecal Sufentanil versus Fentanyl for Lower Limb Surgeries - A Randomized Controlled Trial" (Journal of Anesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, Vol. 27 . Issue 1. pp. 67-73) by P. Motiani et al. compares two different agents, intrathecal Sufentanil and fentanyl, used in enhancing the anesthesiology of patients receiving major lower limb surgery. One variable compared between the two agents was the amount of blood loss during the surgery. Based on the study, we will assume that using fentanyl, the amount of blood loss during major lower limb surgery is normally distributed with mean 283.3mland standard deviation 83.3ml. Find the percentage of patients whose amount of blood loss during major lower limb surgery using fentanyl is

a. Less than 304ml.

b. Between 221and429ml

c. More than450ml.

A variable is normally distributed with a mean 68and standard deviation 10. Find the percentage of all possible values of the variable that

a. lie between 73and 80.

h. are at least 75.

c. are at most 90.
