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.

Each customer making a particular Internet purchase must pay with one of three types of credit cards (think Visa, MasterCard, AmEx). Let \({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{i}}}{\rm{(i = 1,2,3)}}\) be the event that a type \({\rm{i}}\)credit card is used, with\({\rm{P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}} \right){\rm{ = }}{\rm{.5}}\), \({\rm{P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{ = }}{\rm{.3}}\), and\({\rm{P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}} \right){\rm{ = }}{\rm{.2}}\). Suppose that the number of customers who make such a purchase on a given day is a Poisson \({\rm{rv}}\) with parameter\({\rm{\lambda }}\). Define \({\rm{rv}}\) 's \({{\rm{X}}_{{\rm{1,}}}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{3}}}\)by \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{i}}}{\rm{ = }}\)the number among the \({\rm{N}}\)customers who use a type \({\rm{i}}\)card\({\rm{(i = 1,2,3)}}\). Show that these three \({\rm{rv}}\) 's are independent with Poisson distributions having parameters\({\rm{.5\lambda ,}}{\rm{.3\lambda }}\), and\({\rm{.2\lambda }}\), respectively. (Hint: For non-negative integers\({{\rm{x}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{3}}}\), let\({\rm{n = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ + }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ + }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{3}}}\). Then\({\rm{P}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{1}}}} \right.\), \(\left. {{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{3}}}} \right){\rm{ = P}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{,N = n}}} \right)\) (why is this?). Now condition on\({\rm{N = n}}\), in which case the three \({\rm{Xi}}\) 's have a trinomial distribution (multinomial with three categories) with category probabilities\({\rm{.5,}}{\rm{.3}}\), and . \({\rm{2}}\).)

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.

Let \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{, \ldots ,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{n}}}\) be independent \({\rm{rv's}}\) with mean values \({{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{, \ldots ,}}{{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{n}}}\) and variances \({\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{1}}^{\rm{2}}{\rm{, \ldots ,\sigma }}_{{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{*}}}}^{\rm{2}}\)Consider a function\({\rm{h}}\left( {{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{, \ldots ,}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{n}}}} \right)\), and use it to define a \({\rm{rv}}\)\({\rm{Y = h}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{, \ldots ,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{n}}}} \right)\). Under rather general conditions on the \({\rm{h}}\)function, if the \({{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{i}}}\)'s are all small relative to the corresponding \({{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{i}}}\)'s, it can be shown that (\({\rm{E(Y)\gg h}}\left( {{{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{, \ldots ,}}{{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{n}}}} \right)\) and\({\rm{V(Y)\hat U }}{\left( {\frac{{{\rm{露h }}}}{{{\rm{露 }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{1}}}}}} \right)^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ \times \sigma }}_{\rm{1}}^{\rm{2}}{\rm{ + L + }}{\left( {\frac{{{\rm{露h }}}}{{{\rm{露 }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{n}}}}}} \right)^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ \times \sigma}}_{\rm{n}}^{\rm{2}}\))where each partial derivative is evaluated at \(\left( {{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{, \ldots ,}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{n}}}} \right){\rm{ = }}\)\(\left( {{{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{, \ldots ,}}{{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{n}}}} \right)\). Suppose three resistors with resistances \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{3}}}\)are connected in parallel across a battery with voltage\({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{4}}}\). Then by Ohm's law, the current is

\({\rm{Y = }}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{4}}}\left( {\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}}}{\rm{ + }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}}}{\rm{ + }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{3}}}}}} \right)\)

Let \({{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = 10}}\)ohms, \({{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.0ohm,}}\quad {{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 15}}\)ohms, \({{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.0ohm,}}{{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ = 20}}\)ohms, \({{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.5ohms,}}{{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ = 120\;V}}\),

\({{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ = 4}}{\rm{.0 \backslash mathrm\{ \;V}}\)}. Calculate the approximate expected value and standard deviation of the current (suggested by "6andom Samplings," CHEMTECH, \({\rm{1984: 696 - 697}}\)).

a. What proportion of the observations are less than 5?

b. What proportion of the observations are at least 6?

c. Construct a histogram with relative frequency on the vertical axis and comment on interesting features. In particular, does the distribution of particle sizes appear to be reasonably symmetric or somewhat skewed? (Note:The investigators fit lognormaldistribution to the data; this is discussed in Chapter 4.)

d. Construct a histogram with density on the vertical axis and compare to the histogram in (c).

Zinfandel is a popular red wine varietal produced almostexclusively in California. It is rather controversialamong wine connoisseurs because its alcohol contentvaries quite substantially from one producer to another.In May 2013, the author went to the website klwines.com, randomly selected 10 zinfandels from among the 325 available, and obtained the following values of alcoholcontent (%):

14.8 14.5 16.1 14.2 15.9

13.7 16.2 14.6 13.8 15.0

  1. Calculate and interpret several measures of center.
