  1. Xbar = 5.6, s2 = 17.3, s = 4.159
  2. Xbar = 13.75 feet, s2 = 152.25, s = 12.338 feet
  3. Xbar = -2.5, s2 = 4.35, s = 2.085
  4. Xbar = 0.33 ounce, s2 = 0.05868, s = 0.242 ounce

Step by step solution

 Step 1: Finding  ,s2, s

x = 3, 1, 10, 10, 4
x¯=∑xn=3+1+10+10+45=285=5.6

s2=∑(χ−χ-)2n−1=69.25−1=69.24=17.3

s=s2=17.3=4.159

Therefore, localid="1651308857080" x¯= 5.6, s2 = 17.3, s = 4.159

02

Calculating  x¯,s2, s

x = 8 feet, 10 feet, 32 feet, 5 feet

χ-=∑χn=8+10+32+54=554=13.75

s2=∑(χ−χ-)2n−1=456.754−1=456.753=152.25

s=s2=152.25=12.338

Therefore,x¯ = 13.75 feet, s2 = 152.25, s = 12.338 feet

03

Computing x¯ ,s2, s

x = -1, -4, -3, 1, -4, -4

χ-=∑χn=(−1)+(−4)+(−3)+1+(−4)+(−4)6=−156=−2.5

s2=∑(χ−χ-)2n−1=21.756−1=21.755=4.35

s=s2=4.35=2.085

Therefore, x¯= -2.5, s2 = 4.35, s = 2.085

04

Finding x¯  ,s2, s

x = 1/5 (0.2) ounce, 1/5 (0.2) ounce, 1/5 (0.2) ounce, 2/5 (0.4) ounce, 1/5 (0.2) ounce, 4/5 (0.8) ounce

χ-=∑χn=0.2+0.2+0.2+0.4+0.2+0.86=26=0.33

s2=∑(χ−χ-)2n−1=0.29346−1=0.29345=0.05868

s=s2=0.05868=0.242

Therefore, x¯= 0.33 ounce, s2 = 0.05868, s = 0.242 ounce.

a.Construct a Pareto diagram for the data. Use the graph to identify the most frequently observed type of defect.

b.All 70 car body defects were further classified as to type. The frequencies are provided in the following table. Form a Pareto diagram for the type of body defect. (Adding this graph to the original Pareto diagram of part a is called exploding the Pareto diagram.) Interpret the result. What type of body defect should be targeted for special attention?

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. Graph

Question: Permeability of sandstone during weathering.Refer to the Geographical Analysis(Vol. 42, 2010) study of the decay properties of sandstone when exposed to the weather, Exercise 2.47 (p. 96). Recall that slices of sandstone blocks were tested for permeability under three conditions: no exposure to any type of weathering (A), repeatedly sprayed with a 10% salt solution (B), and soaked in a 10% salt solution and dried (C). Measures of variation for the permeability measurements (mV) of each sandstone group are displayed in the accompanying Minitab printout.

a.Find the range of the permeability measurements for Group A sandstone slices. Verify its value using the minimum and maximum values shown on the printout.

b.Find the standard deviation of the permeability measurements for Group A sandstone slices. Verify its value using the variance shown on the printout.

c.Which condition (A, B, or C) has the more variable permeability data?

Budget lapsing at army hospitals.Accountants use the term budget lapsingto describe the situation that occurs when unspent funds do not carry over from one budgeting period to the next. Due to budget lapsing, U.S. army hospitals tend to stockpile pharmaceuticals and other supplies toward the end of the fiscal year, leading to a spike in expenditures. This phenomenon was investigated in the Journal of Management Accounting Research(Vol. 19, 2007). Data on expenses per full-timeequivalent employees for a sample of 1,751 army hospitalsyielded the following summary statistics: xbar= \(6,563,m= \)6,232, s= \(2,484, QL = \)5,309 and QU = \(7,216.

a.Interpret, practically, the measures of relative standing.

b.Compute the interquartile range, IQR, for the data.

c.What proportion of the 1,751 army hospitals have expenses between \)5,309 and $7,216?

The amount spent on textbooks for the fall term was recorded for a sample of five university students. The following data were observed: \(400, \)350, \(600, \)525, and $450. Calculate each of the following values for this data:

a.The sample mean

b.The sample median

c.The sample range

d.The standard deviation
