Compute the proportion

a.

The number of observations that are less than 5 is,

\(5 + 15 + 27 + 34 = 81\)

The total number of observations is 131.

The proportion of observations that are less than 5 is computed as,

\(\frac{{81}}{{131}} = 0.618\)

Thus, the proportion of observations that are less than 5 is approximately 0.618.

03

Compute the proportion

b.

The number of observations that are at least 6 is,

\(7 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 14\)

The total number of observations is 131.

The proportion of observations that are at least 6 is computed as,

\(\frac{{14}}{{131}} = 0.107\)

Thus, the proportion of observations that are at least 6 is approximately 0.107.

04

Construct a histogram with relative frequency on vertical axis

c.

The relative frequency is computed as,

\({\bf{relative frequency = }}\frac{{{\bf{frequency}}}}{{{\bf{Total}}\;{\bf{number}}\;{\bf{of}}\;{\bf{observations}}}}\)

The table representing the relative frequency is computed as,

Steps to construct a histogram are,

1) Determine the frequency or the relative frequency.

2) Mark the class boundaries on the horizontal axis.

3)Draw a rectangle on the horizontal axis corresponding to the frequency or relative frequency.

The histogram is represented as,

Observing the shape of the graph, it can be inferred that the graph is not exactly symmetric as it has an elongated tail in the right.

Construct a histogram with density on vertical axis

The density value is computed as,

b. What is the variance of your total waiting time?

c. What are the expected value and variance of the difference between morning and evening waiting times on a given day?

Anxiety disorders and symptoms can often be effectively treated with benzodiazepine medications. It isknown that animals exposed to stress exhibit a decrease in benzodiazepine receptor binding in the frontal cortex. Thearticle 鈥淒ecreased Benzodiazepine Receptor Binding in Prefrontal Cortex in Combat-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder鈥 (Amer. J. of Psychiatry, 2000: 1120鈥1126) described the first study of benzodiazepine receptor binding in individuals suffering from PTSD. The accompanying data on a receptor binding measure (adjusted distribution volume) was read from a graph in the article.
PTSD: 10, 20, 25, 28, 31, 35, 37, 38, 38, 39, 39,

Healthy: 23, 39, 40, 41, 43, 47, 51, 58, 63, 66, 67,

  1. Construct a stem-and-leaf display of the data.
  2. What is a typical, or representative, flow rate?
  3. Does the display appear to be highly concentrated or spread out?
  4. Does the distribution of values appear to be reasonably symmetric? If not, how would you describe the departure from symmetry?
  5. Would you describe any observation as being far from the rest of the data (an outlier)?

Exposure to microbial products, especially endotoxin, may have an impact on vulnerability to allergic diseases. The article 鈥淒ust Sampling Methods for Endotoxin鈥擜n Essential, But Underestimated Issue鈥 (Indoor Air,2006: 20鈥27) considered various issues associated with determining endotoxin concentration. The following data on concentration (EU/mg) in settled dust for one sample of urban homes and another of farm homes was kindly supplied by the authors of the cited article.

  1. Determine the sample mean for each sample. How do they compare?
  2. Determine the sample median for each sample. How do they compare? Why is the median for the urban sample so different from the mean for that sample?
  3. Calculate the trimmed mean for each sample by deleting the smallest and largest observation. What are the corresponding trimming percentages? How do the values of these trimmed means compare to the corresponding means and medians?

An airport limousine can accommodate up to four passengers on any one trip. The company will accept a maximum of six reservations for a trip, and a passenger must have a reservation. From previous records,\({\rm{20 \% }}\)of all those making reservations do not appear for the trip. Answer the following questions, assuming independence wherever appropriate. a. If six reservations are made, what is the probability that at least one individual with a reservation cannot be accommodated on the trip? b. If six reservations are made, what is the expected number of available places when the limousine departs? c. Suppose the probability distribution of the number of reservations made is given in the accompanying table.

Let X denote the number of passengers on a randomly selected trip. Obtain the probability mass function of X.
