Observations on burst strength (lb/in 2) were obtained both for test nozzle closure welds and for production cannister nozzle welds (鈥淧roper Procedures Are the Key to Welding Radioactive Waste Cannisters,鈥
Welding J., Aug. 1997: 61鈥67).

Construct a comparative boxplot and comment on interesting features (the cited article did not include such a picture, but the authors commented that they had looked
at one).

Short Answer

Expert verified

Both have differing burst strengths, as evidenced by the comparative boxplot. Cannister nozzle weld distribution is more constant, with negligible skewness to the right. In contrast, the distribution of Test nozzle welds is skewed to the right, resulting in more unpredictability.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The data are provided that consists of 11 observations on burst strength for test nozzle closure welds and 12 observations on burst strength for production cannister nozzle welds.

02

Compute five-number summary for Test nozzle closure welds

The five-summary are smallest\({x_i}\), lower fourth, median, upper fourth and largest\({x_i}\).Since sample size of test is odd, the median is the\({\left( {\frac{{n + 1}}{2}} \right)^{th}}\)ordered value when the data are in ascending order as below.

7200

8300

The smallest value is: 6100 and the largest value is: 8300.

Let\(\tilde x\)be the required median. Use the formula to calculate median,

\(\begin{aligned}\tilde x &= {\left( {\frac{{n + 1}}{2}} \right)^{th}}\,ordered\,value\\ &= {\left( {\frac{{11 + 1}}{2}} \right)^{th}}\\ &= {6^{th\,}}observation\\ &= 7300\end{aligned}\)

The lower fourth is the median of smallest half of the data as the median of the data is\(\tilde x = 7300\)so lower half contains 7 values.

6700

7200

Since\(n = 6\)is odd, calculate the median using the formula:

\(\begin{aligned}\tilde x &= {\left( {\frac{{n + 1}}{2}} \right)^{th}}\,ordered\,value\\ &= {\left( {\frac{{7 + 1}}{2}} \right)^{th}}\,ordered\,value\\ &= {4^{th\,}}observation\\ &= 7300\end{aligned}\)

Since 7300 is the median value, so the lower fourth becomes 7200.

Similarly, the upper fourth is the median of largest half of the data as the median of the data is\(\tilde x = 7300\)so it contains 4 values.

7400

8000

8000

8300

Since\(n = 4\)is even, calculate the median using the formula:

\(\begin{aligned}\tilde x &= \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{n}{2}} \right)}^{th}} + {{\left( {\frac{n}{2} + 1} \right)}^{th}}\,ordered\,value}}{2}\\ &= \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{4}{2}} \right)}^{th}} + {{\left( {\frac{4}{2} + 1} \right)}^{th}}ordered\,value}}{2}\\ &= \frac{{\left( {8000 + 8000} \right)}}{2}\\ &= 8000\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the five-number summary to construct boxplot are as follows:

Smallest\({x_i}\): 6100, lower fourth: 7200, median: 7300, upper fourth: 8000,

Largest \({x_i}\): 8300.

03

Compute five-number summary for Cannister nozzle welds

The five-summary are smallest\({x_i}\), lower fourth, median, upper fourth and largest\({x_i}\).Since sample size of test is odd, the median is the\({\left( {\frac{{n + 1}}{2}} \right)^{th}}\)ordered value when the data are in ascending order as below.

6000

6050

6100

6600

The smallest value is: 5250 and the largest value is: 6600.

Let\(\tilde x\)be the required median. Use the formula to calculate median,

\(\begin{aligned}\tilde x &= \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{n}{2}} \right)}^{th}} + {{\left( {\frac{n}{2} + 1} \right)}^{th}}\,ordered\,value}}{2}\\ &= \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{{12}}{2}} \right)}^{th}} + {{\left( {\frac{{12}}{2} + 1} \right)}^{th}}ordered\,value}}{2}\\ &= \frac{{{6^{th\,}}observation + {7^{th}}observation}}{2}\\ &= \frac{{5875 + 5900}}{2}\\ &= 5887.5\end{aligned}\)

The lower fourth is the median of smallest half of the data as the median of the data is\(\tilde x = 5887.5\)so each half contains 6 values.

Since\(n = 6\)is even, calculate the median using the formula:

\(\begin{aligned}\tilde x &= \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{n}{2}} \right)}^{th}} + {{\left( {\frac{n}{2} + 1} \right)}^{th}}\,ordered\,value}}{2}\\ &= \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{6}{2}} \right)}^{th}} + {{\left( {\frac{6}{2} + 1} \right)}^{th}}ordered\,value}}{2}\\ &= \frac{{\left( {5700 + 5800} \right)}}{2}\\ &= 5750\end{aligned}\)

Similarly, the upper fourth is the median of largest half of the data as the median of the data is\(\tilde x = 5887.5\)so it contains 6 values.

Since\(n = 6\)is even, calculate the median using the formula:

\(\begin{aligned}\tilde x &= \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{n}{2}} \right)}^{th}} + {{\left( {\frac{n}{2} + 1} \right)}^{th}}\,ordered\,value}}{2}\\ &= \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{6}{2}} \right)}^{th}} + {{\left( {\frac{6}{2} + 1} \right)}^{th}}ordered\,value}}{2}\\ &= \frac{{\left( {6000 + 6050} \right)}}{2}\\ &= 6025\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the five-number summary to construct boxplot are as follows:

Smallest\({x_i}\): 5250, lower fourth: 5750, median: 5887.5, upper fourth: 6025,

Largest \({x_i}\): 6600.

Construct box plot of measurements for the distilled alcohol content(%):

Following are the steps to make comparative boxplot by hand:

  1. Draw a plot line of range 5000 to 8500.
  2. Draw three horizontal lines that consists of first quartile, second quartile and third quartile and make two vertical lines to make it in rectangular form like a box for Test nozzle closure welds.
  3. Do the Step 2 again for Cannister nozzle welds.
  4. Draw whiskers on both sides of two boxplots and set the minimum and maximum value with respect to the obtained lower fence and upper fence.
  5. Mark the two outliers of Cannister nozzle welds.

05

Conclusion

From the comparative boxplot, one can see that both have different burst strengths. The distribution of cannister nozzle welds is more consistent and have little skewness to the right. The distribution of Test nozzle welds, on the other hand, is skewed to the right, resulting in more variability.

Lengths of bus routes for any particular transit system will typically vary from one route to another. The article 鈥淧lanning of City Bus Routes鈥 (J. of the Institution of Engineers, 1995: 211鈥215) gives the following information on lengths (km) for one particular system:

Length6-<8 8-<10 10-<12 12-<14 14-<16

b. What proportion of these route lengths are less than 20? What proportion of these routes have lengths of at least 30?

c. Roughly what is the value of the 90th percentile of the route length distribution?

d. Roughly what is the median route length?

A deficiency of the trace element selenium in the diet can negatively impact growth, immunity, muscle and neuromuscular function, and fertility. The introduction of selenium supplements to dairy cows is justified when pastures have low selenium levels. Authors of the article 鈥淓ffects of Short Term Supplementation with Selenised Yeast on Milk Production and Composition of Lactating Cows鈥 (Australian J. of Dairy Tech., 2004: 199鈥203) supplied the following data on milk selenium concentration (mg/L) for a sample of cows given a selenium supplement and a control sample given no supplement, both initially and after a 9-day period.

In a famous experiment carried out in 1882, Michelson,and Newcomb obtained 66 observations on the time it took for light to travel between two locations in Washington, D.C. A few of the measurements(coded in a certain manner) were 31, 23, 32, 36, 22, 26, 27, and 31.

a. Why are these measurements not identical?

b. Is this an enumerative study? Why or why not?
