Chapter 4: Q118E (page 268)

Consider a sample data set with the following summary

statistics: s= 95, QL = 72, QU = 195.

a. Calculate IQR.

b. Calculate IQR/s.

c. Is the value of IQR/sapproximately equal to 1.3? Whatdoes this imply?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The value of IQR is 123

b. The value of IQR/s is 1.3

c. The value of IQR/s is approximately 1.3, implies that the data is normally distributed.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The summary statistics are given by,

s=95,QL=72,QU=195

02

Calculating IQR

a.

The IQR is,

IQR=QU-QL=195-72=123

Thus, the IQR is 123.

03

Calculating IQR/s

b.

IQRs=12395=1.294737饾啅1.3

Thus, the IQR/s is 1.3.

04

Interpretation of IQR/s

C.

Here the value of IQR/s is approximately 1.3. This means that the data is normally distributed.

Detecting anthrax. Researchers at the University of SouthFlorida Center for Biological Defense have developed asafe method for rapidly detecting anthrax spores in powdersand on surfaces (USF Magazine, Summer 2002). Themethod has been found to work well even when there arevery few anthrax spores in a powder specimen. Considera powder specimen that has exactly 10 anthrax spores.Suppose that the number of anthrax spores in the sampledetected by this method follows an approximate uniformdistribution between 0 and 10.

a. Find the probability that 8 or fewer anthrax spores are detected in the powder specimen.

b. Find the probability that between 2 and 5 anthrax spores are detected in the powder specimen.

Compute the following:

a.7!3!(7鈭�3)!

b.(94)

c. (50)

d.(44)

e.(54)

Hotels鈥� use of ecolabels. Refer to the Journal of Vacation Marketing (January 2016) study of travelers鈥� familiarity with ecolabels used by hotels, Exercise 2.64 (p. 104). Recall that adult travelers were shown a list of 6 different ecolabels, and asked, 鈥淪uppose the response is measured on a continuous scale from 10 (not familiar at all) to 50 (very familiar).鈥� The mean and standard deviation for the Energy Star ecolabel are 44 and 1.5, respectively. Assume the distribution of the responses is approximately normally distributed.

a. Find the probability that a response to Energy Star exceeds 43.

b. Find the probability that a response to Energy Star falls between 42 and 45.

c. If you observe a response of 35 to an ecolabel, do you think it is likely that the ecolabel was Energy Star? Explain.

4.139 Load on timber beams. Timber beams are widely used inhome construction. When the load (measured in pounds) perunit length has a constant value over part of a beam, the loadis said to be uniformly distributed over that part of the beam.Uniformly distributed beam loads were used to derive thestiffness distribution of the beam in the American Institute of

Aeronautics and Astronautics Journal(May 2013). Considera cantilever beam with a uniformly distributed load between100 and 115 pounds per linear foot.

a. What is the probability that a beam load exceeds110 pounds per linearfoot?

b. What is the probability that a beam load is less than102 pounds per linear foot?

c. Find a value Lsuch that the probability that the beamload exceeds Lis only .1.

Flaws in the plastic-coated wire. The British Columbia Institute of Technology provides on its Web site (www.math.bcit.ca) practical applications of statistics at mechanical engineering firms. The following is a Poisson application. A roll of plastic-coated wire has an average of .8 flaws per 4-meter length of wire. Suppose a quality-control engineer will sample a 4-meter length of wire from a roll of wire 220 meters in length. If no flaws are found in the sample, the engineer will accept the entire roll of wire. What is the probability that the roll will be rejected? What assumption did you make to find this probability?
