Chapter 1: Q15E (page 25)

Do running times of American movies differ somehow from running times of French movies? The author investigated this question by randomly selecting 25 recent movies of each type, resulting in the following

running times:

Am: 94 90 95 93 128 95 125 91 104 116 162 102 90

110 92 113 116 90 97 103 95 120 109 91 138

Fr: 123 116 90 158 122 119 125 90 96 94 137 102

105 106 95 125 122 103 96 111 81 113 128 93 92

Construct a comparativestem-and-leaf display by listing stems in the middle of your paper and then placing the Am leaves out to the left and the Fr leaves out to the right. Then comment on interesting features of thedisplay.

The following is observed:

The running time of both American and French movies is mostly less than 100 and 100 respectively.

The spread of running time is greater for French movies than the American .

The number of outliers exist in each case.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The running times of American movies and of French movies are provided.

02

Construct a stem and leaf diagram

A stem-and-leaf display provides a visual representation of the dataset.

The steps to construct a stem-and-leaf display are as follows,

1) Select the leading digit for the stem and trailing digits for the leaves.

2) Represent the stem digits vertically and similarly the trailing digits corresponding to the stem digits.

3) Mention the units for the display.

The stem and leaf display for the provided scenario is,

Am


Fr

The following is observed:

The running time of both American and French movies is mostly less than 100 and 100 respectively.

The spread of running time is greater for French movies than in American.

The number of outliers exists in each case.

From the above display, it can be concluded that there is extreme positive skewness for Am and more variability in Fr times.

The outlier that can be observed in Am is 162 and the outlier for Fr is 158.

Aortic stenosis refers to a narrowing of the aortic valve in the heart. The article 鈥淐orrelation Analysis of Stenotic Aortic Valve Flow Patterns Using PhaseContrast MRI鈥� (Annals of Biomed. Engr., 2005: 878鈥�887) gave the following data on aortic root diameter (cm) and gender for a sample of patients having various degrees of aortic stenosis:

M: 3.7 3.4 3.7 4.0 3.9 3.8 3.4 3.6 3.1 4.0 3.4 3.8 3.5
F: 3.8 2.6 3.2 3.0 4.3 3.5 3.1 3.1 3.2 3.0

  1. Compare and contrast the diameter observations for
    the two genders.
  2. Calculate a 10% trimmed mean for each of the two
    samples, and compare to other measures of center
    (for the male sample, the interpolation method men-
    tioned in Section 1.3 must be used).

The amount of flow through a solenoid valve in an automobile鈥檚

pollution-control system is an important characteristic. An experiment was carried out to study how flow rate depended on three factors: armature length, spring load, and bobbin depth. Two different levels (low and high) of each factor were chosen, and a single observation on flow was made for each combination oflevels.

a. The resulting data set consisted of how manyobservations?

b. Is this an enumerative or analytic study? Explainyour reasoning.

Grip is applied to produce normal surface forces that compress the object being gripped. Examples include two people shaking hands, or a nurse squeezing a patient鈥檚 forearm to stop bleeding. The article 鈥淚nvestigation of Grip Force, Normal Force, Contact Area, Hand Size, and Handle Size for Cylindrical Handles鈥� (Human Factors, 2008: 734鈥�744) included the following data on grip strength (N) for a sample of 42

individuals:

a. Construct a stem-and-leaf display based on repeating each stem value twice, and comment on interesting features.

b. Determine the values of the fourths and the fourth spread.

c. Construct a boxplot based on the five-number summary, and comment on its features.

d. How large or small does an observation have to be to qualify as an outlier? An extreme outlier? Are there any outliers?

e. By how much could the observation 403, currently the largest, be decreased without affecting\({f_s}\)?

The accompanying frequency distribution on depositedenergy (mJ) was extracted from the article 鈥淓xperimentalAnalysis of Laser-Induced Spark Ignition of LeanTurbulent Premixed Flames鈥� (Combustion and Flame,2013: 1414鈥�1427).

a. What proportion of these ignition trials resulted in adeposited energy of less than 3 mJ?

b. What proportion of these ignition trials resulted in adeposited energy of at least 4 mJ?

c. Roughly what proportion of the trials resulted in adeposited energy of at least 3.5 mJ?

d. Construct a histogram and comment on its shape.

A Pareto diagram is a variation of a histogram forcategorical data resulting from a quality control study.Each category represents a different type of product non-conformity or production problem. The categories areordered so that the one with the largest frequencyappears on the far left, then the category with the secondlargest frequency, and so on. Suppose the following information on nonconformities in circuit packs isobtained: failed component, 126; incorrect component,210; insufficient solder, 67; excess solder, 54; missingcomponent, 131. Construct a Pareto diagram.
