Chapter 6: Q.6.121 (page 283)

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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

There are no outliers in the data, which is usual.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Consider the probability of the normalcy plot.

02

Explanation

The data is distributed along a straight line, according to the specified normality probability plot.

As a result, the data is normal and there are no outliers.

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?

How is a normal probability plot used to detect outliers?

14. Explain how to use Table II to determine the area under the standard normal curve that lies

a. to the left of a specified z-score.

b. to the right of a specified z-score.

c. between two specified z-scores.

30. Northwest Atlantic Cod. Researchers M. Kroll et al. studied the influence of paternity on rates of mortality and development in eggs and larvae of Northwest Atlantic cod in the article, "Paternal Effects on Early Life History Traits in Northwest Atlantic Cod, Gadus morhua" (Journal of Applied Ichthyology, Vol. 29. Issue 3. pp. 623629). A sample of adult male Northwest Atlantic cod was collected in Nova Scotia, Canada. The following table gives the lengths, in centimeters (cm), of the cod sampled.

a. Using Table III in Appendix A. construct 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.

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.
