Chapter 2: Q108E (page 125)

Consider the horizontal box plot shown below.


a.What is the median of the data set (approximately)?

b.What are the upper and lower quartiles of the data set (approximately)?

c.What is the interquartile range of the data set (approximately)?

d.Is the data set skewed to the left, skewed to the right, or symmetric?

e.What percentage of the measurements in the data set lie to the right of the median? To the left of the upper quartile?

f.Identify any outliers in the data.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) 4

(b) 6, 3

(c) 3

(d) Skewed to the right

(e) 50%, 75%

(f) 12, 13, 16

Step by step solution

01

Identifying the median

The median here is approximately 4.

02

Finding the upper and lower quartiles

Upper Quartile (QU) = 6

Lower Quartile (QL) = 3

03

Calculating the the interquartile range(IQR)

IQR = QU - QL

= 6 鈥� 3

= 3

The interquartile range is 3.

04

Determining the skewness

The box plot is skewed to the rightbecause the right whisker is longer than the left.

05

Computing the percentage of the measurements the right of the median and to the left of the upper quartile

Median is the centermost value of the dataset. Therefore, there will be 50% measurements to the right of the median.

The upper quartile is the 75th percentile. Therefore, there are 75% of measurements to the left of the upper quartile.

06

Finding the outliers

The threeoutliers are 12, 13, and 16.

Hotels鈥� use of ecolabels.Ecolabels such as Energy Star, Green Key, and Audubon Internationalare used by hotels to advertise their energy-saving and conservation policies. The Journal of Vacation Marketing(January 2016) published a study to investigate how familiar travelers are with these ecolabels and whether travelers believe they are credible. A sample of 392 adult travelers were administered a questionnaire. One question showed a list of 6 different eco-labels, and asked, 鈥淗ow familiar are you with this ecolabel, on a scale of 1 (not familiar at all) to 5 (very familiar).鈥� Summarized results for the numerical responses are given in the table.

a.Give a practical interpretation of the mean response for Energy Star.

b.Give a practical interpretation of the median response for Energy Star.

c.Give a practical interpretation of the response mode for Energy Star.

d.Based on these summary statistics, which ecolabel appears to be most familiar to travelers?

A qualitative variable is measured for 20 companies randomly sampled and the data are classified into three classes, small (S), medium (M), and large (L), based on the number of employees in each company. The data (observed class for each company) are listed below. ______________________________________ SSL M SM M S M S L M S SSS M L S L ----------------------------------------------------------------

a. Compute the frequency for each of the three classes.

b. Compute the relative frequency for each of the three classes.

c. Display the results, part a, in a frequency bar graph.

d. Display the results, part b, in a pie chart.

Voltage sags and swells. Refer to the Electrical Engineering (Vol. 95, 2013) study of transformer voltage sags and swells, Exercise 2.76 (p. 110). Recall that for a sample of 103 transformers built for heavy industry, the mean number of sags per week was 353 and the mean number of swells per week was 184. Assume the standard deviation of the sag distribution is 30 sags per week and the standard deviation of the swell distribution is 25 swells per week. Suppose one of the transformers is randomly selected and found to have 400 sags and 100 swells in a week.

a. Find the z-score for the number of sags for this transformer. Interpret this value.

b. Find the z-score for the number of swells for this transformer. Interpret this value.

Question: State SAT scores.Refer to Exercise 2.27 (p. 84) and the data on state SAT scores. Construct a scatterplot for the data, with the 2010 Math SAT score on the horizontal axis and the 2014 Math SAT score on the vertical axis. What type of trend do you detect?
