(a) Sample A

Sample B

(b) Sample A = 85, 100, 121

Sample B = 140

Step by step solution

01

Calculating the values needed to construct a box plot for Sample A

Arranging the data in ascending order,

(85,100,121,142,145,157,158,159,161,163,165,166,170,171,171,172,172,173,184,187,196)

Q1=N+14=21+14=224=5.5thterm=151Q2=N+12=21+12=222=11thterm=165Q3=3N+14=321+14=664=16.5thterm=172

IQR = QU 鈥 QL

= 172 鈥 151

= 21

Lower Inner Fence = QL - 1.5(IQR)

= 151 鈥 1.5(21)

= 151 鈥 25.2

= 125.8

Upper Inner Fence = QU + 1.5(IQR)

= 172 + 1.5(21)

= 172 + 25.2

= 197.2

Median = 165, QU = 172, QL = 151, LIF = 125.8, UIF = 197.2

Creating the box plot for Sample A

03

Calculating the values needed to construct a box plot for Sample A

We will first arrange the data in ascending order,

(140,151,152,167,168,169,169,170,170,171,171,172,173,174,180,183,185,188,190,199,206)Q1=N+14=21+14=224=5.5thterm=168.5Q2=N+12=21+12=222=11thterm=171Q3=3N+14=321+14=664=16.5thterm=184

IQR = QU 鈥 QL

= 184 鈥 168.5

= 15.5

Lower Inner Fence = QL - 1.5(IQR)

= 168.5 鈥 1.5(15.5)

= 168.5 鈥 23.25

= 145.25

Upper Inner Fence = QU + 1.5(IQR)

= 184 + 1.5(15.5)

= 184 + 23.25

= 207.25

Median = 171, QU = 184, QL = 168.5, LIF = 145.25, UIF = 207.25

Do social robots walk or roll?Refer to the International Conference on Social Robotics(Vol. 6414, 2010) study onthe current trend in the design of social robots, Exercise 2.5(p. 72). Recall that in a random sample of social robotsobtained through a Web search, 28 were built with wheels.The number of wheels on each of the 28 robots is listed inthe accompanying table.

Source:Based on S. Chew et al., 鈥淒o Social Robots Walk or Roll?鈥 International Conference on Social Robotics, Vol. 6414, 2010 (adapted from Figure 2).

a.Generate a histogram for the sample data set. Is the distribution of number of wheels mound-shaped and symmetric?

b.Find the mean and standard deviation for the sample data set.

c.Form the interval, xbar 卤2s.

d.According to Chebychev鈥檚 Rule, what proportion of sample observations will fall within the interval, part c?

e.According to the Empirical Rule, what proportion of sample observations will fall within the interval, part c?

f.Determine the actual proportion of sample observations that fall within the interval, part c. Even though the histogram, part a, is not perfectly symmetric, does the Empirical Rule provide a good estimate of the proportion?

Suppose a data set consisting of exam scores has a lower quartile QL = 60, a median QM = 75, and an upper quartile QU = 85. The scores on the exam range from 18 to 100. Without having the actual scores available to you, construct as much of the box plot as possible.

A sample data set has a mean of 57 and a standard deviation of 11. Determine whether each of the following sample measurements are outliers.

a.65

b.21

c.72

U.S. wine export markets.The Center for International Trade Development (CITD), provides a listing of the top 30 U.S. export markets for sparkling wines. Data on the amount exported (thousands of dollars) and 3-year percentage change for the 30 countries in a recent year are saved in the WINEXfile. (Data for 5 countries are listed in the table.) Descriptive statistics for these variables are shown in the Minitab printout (next column).

e. Use the information on the printout to find the range of the amount exported.

f.Locate the standard deviation of the amount exported on the printout.

g.Use the result, part f, to find the variance of the amount exported.

h.If one of the top 30 countries is selected at random, give an interval that is likely to include the export amount for this country.

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.
