Chapter 6: Q. 8 (page 286)

Answer true or false to each statement. Give reasons for your answers.

a. Two variables that have the same mean and standard deviation have the same distribution.

b. Two normally distributed variables that have the same mean and standard deviation have the some distribution.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The other parameters mean and standard deviation may differ. The type of the distribution is not specified.

This given statement is false.

b. The two normally distributed variables with same mean and standard deviation have the same shape. This given statement is true.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information 

Two variables that have the same mean and standard deviation have the same distribution. whether the given statement is true or false.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation 

Consider "two variables with same mean and standard deviation have the same distribution.

The shape of the distribution depends on their parameters.

So the other parameters mean and standard deviation may differ.

The type of the distribution is not specified.

Hence, the given statement is false.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information 

Two normally distributed variables that have the same mean and standard deviation have the some distribution. Whether the given statement is true or false.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

Consider "two normally distributed variables with same mean and standard deviation have the same distribution.

The mean and standard deviation determine the normally distributed.

So, two normally distributed variables with same mean and standard deviation have the same shape.

Hence, the given statement is true.

We have provided a normal probability plot of data from a sample of a population. In each case, assess the normality of the variable under consideration.

Fire Loss. The loss, in millions of dollars, due to a fire in a commercial building is a variable with density curvey=1-x/2for 0<x<2andy=0otherwise. Using the fact that the area of a triangle equals one-half its base times its height, we find that the area under this density curve to the left of any number xbetween 0and2equals x-x2/4

a. Graph the density curve of this variable.

b. What percentage of losses exceed 1.5million?

The National Center for Health Statistics publishes information about birth rates (per 1000population) in the document National Vital Statistics Report. The following table provides a frequency distribution for birth rates during one year for the 50states and the District of Columbia

a. Obtain a frequency histogram of these birth-rate data.

b. Based on your histogram, do you think that birth rates for the 50states and the District of Columbia are approximately normally distributed? Explain your answer.

Explain in detail what a normal probability plot is and how it is used to assess the normality of a variable.

The following table provides the daily charges, in dollars, for a sample of 15 hotels and motels operating in South Carolina. The data were found in the report South Campina Statistical Abstract, sponsored by the South Carolina Budget and Control Board.

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.
