Best-paid CEOs.Refer to Glassdoor Economic Research firm鈥檚 2015 ranking of the 40 best-paid CEOs in Table 2.1 (p. 65). Recall that data were collected on a CEO鈥檚 current salary, age, and the ratio of salary to a typical worker鈥檚 pay at the firm.

a.Create a scatterplot to relate a CEO鈥檚 ratio of salary to worker pay to the CEO鈥檚 age. Comment on the strength of the association between these two variables.

b.Conduct an outlier analysis of the ratio variable. Identify the highly suspect outlier in the data.

c.Remove the highly suspect outlier from the data and recreate the scatterplot of part a. What do you observe?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The graph is given below:


No strong association

b.Highly suspect outlier = 1951

c. No major change

Step by step solution

01

Creating a Scatterplot

The graph is given below:

There is no visible strong association between the CEO鈥檚 age and the ratio of the CEO鈥檚 salary to that of a typical worker. The data is clustered to the left of the graph except for a few scattered points.

02

Conducting an outlier analysis and identifying the highly suspect outliers

We will use the box plot method to conduct an outlier analysis on the ratio variable.

We will first calculate the quartiles, IQR, Inner, and Outer fences.

Arranging the data in ascending order,

Q1=N+14=40+14=414=10.25th

Term=483

Q2=N+12=40+12=412=20.25th

Term=536.5

Q3=3N+14=340+14=1234=30.75th

Term=644.25

IQR=QU鈥换L=644.25鈥483=161.25

LowerInnerFence=QL1.5IQR=4831.5161.25=483241.875=241.125

UpperInnerFence=QU+1.5IQR=644.25+1.5161.25=644.25+241.875=886.125

Now we will plot these,

The graph shows thatthe outliers are 1951, 1522, 1192, 1133, and 939.

To find which of these are highly suspect outliers (with a z-score > 3), we will check the z-score of these outliers.

First, we will calculate the mean and standard deviation of the data.

Mean=SumofallobservationsNo.ofobservations=2567040=641.75

Variance=2n1=386417039=99081.28

StandardDeviation=Variance=99081.28=314.77

Mean = 641.75 and Standard Deviation = 314.77

z-scoreof1951=1951641.75314.77=1309.25314.77=4.159

z-scoreof1522=1522641.75314.77=880.25314.77=2.79

Based on the values of the z-score, 1522 is not a highly suspect outlier. Therefore, none of the values lower than 1522 are outliers.

So, the only highly suspect outlier is 1951.

03

Creating a scatterplot without the highly suspect outlier.

1951 is a highly suspect outlier. Therefore, we will remove that from the data and create the scatterplot.

There is not much difference in the scatterplot after removing the highly suspect outlier.

Jamming attacks on wireless networks. Refer to the International Journal of Production Economics (Vol. 172, 2016) study of U.S. military jamming attacks on wireless networks used by terrorists, Exercise 1.16 (p. 50). Recall that 80 recent jamming attacks were classified according to network type (WLAN, WSN, or AHN) attacked and number of channels (single- or multi-channel) of the network. The results are summarized in the accompanying table.

Question: Lobster trap placement.The strategic placement of lobster traps is one of the keys to a successful lobster fisherman. An observational study of teams fishing for the red spiny lobster in Baja California Sur, Mexico, was conducted and the results were published in the Bulletin of Marine Science(April 2010). Two variables measured for each of eightteams from the Punta Abreojos (PA) fishing cooperativewere y= total catch of lobsters (in kilograms) during theseason and x= average percentage of traps allocated perday to exploring areas of unknown catch (called search frequency).These data are listed in the next table.

The Apprenticecontestants鈥 performance ratings.Refer to the Significance(April 2015) study of contestants鈥 performance on the popular TV show The Apprentice, Exercise 2.9 (p. 73). Recall that each of 159 contestants was rated (on a 20-point scale) based on their performance. The accompanying Minitab printout gives the mean and standard deviation of the contestant ratings, categorized by highest degree obtained (no degree, first degree, or postgraduate degree) and prize (job or partnership with Lord Sugar).

a.Give a practical interpretation of the mean rating for contestants with a first (bachelor鈥檚) degree who competed for a job with Lord Sugar.

b.Find an interval that captures about 95% of the ratings for contestants with a first (bachelor鈥檚) degree who competed for a job with Lord Sugar.

c.An analysis of the data led the researchers to conclude that 鈥渨hen the reward for winning . . . was a job, more academically qualified contestants tended to perform less well; however, this pattern is reversed when the prize changed to a business partnership.鈥 Do you agree? Explain.

Parking at a university has become a problem. The university鈥檚 administrators are interested in determining the average time it takes a student to find a parking spot. An administrator inconspicuously followed 190 students and recorded how long it took each of them to find a parking spot. The durations had a distribution that was skewed to the left. Based on this information, discuss the relationship between the mean and the median for the 190 times collected.
