Chapter 10: Q. 9 (page 667)

School Ahas 400students and School Bhas 2700students. A local newspaper wants to compare the distributions of SAT scores for the two schools. Which of he following would be the most useful for making this comparison?

(a) Back-to-back stemplots for A and B

(b) A scatterplot of A versus B

(c) Dotplots for A and B drawn on the same scale

(d) Two relative frequency histograms of A and B drawn on the same scale

(e) Two frequency histograms for A and B drawn on the same scale

Short Answer

Expert verified

Two relative histograms of A and B drawn on the same scale.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

we have been given that A has 400students and B has 2700students.

02

Explanation

As we know that both populations have different number of the students.A frequency histogram makes it much more efficient at comapring populations and understanding their distribution and infinitely better.

It is very clear that when you have large amount of data plots are not useful.In these cases histogram would be better.

48. Did the randomization produce similar groups? First, compare the two groups of birds in the first year. The only difference should be the
chance effect of the random assignment. The study report says: 鈥淚n the experimental year, the degree of synchronization did not differ between
food-supplemented and control females.鈥� For this comparison, the report gives t=-1.05.
(a) What type of tstatistic (one-sample, paired, or two-sample) is this? Justify your answer.
(b) Explain how this value of t leads to the quoted conclusion.

Thirty randomly selected seniors at Council High School were asked to report the age (in years) and mileage of their main vehicles. Here is a scatterplot of the data:

(a) What is the equation of the least-squares regression line? Be sure to define any symbols you use.

(b) Interpret the slope of the least-squares line in the context of this problem. (c) One student reported that her 10-year-old car had110000 miles on it. Find the residual for this data value. Show your work

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) conducted a survey to estimate the average price of wheat in July and in September of the same year. Independent random samples of wheat producers were selected for each of the two months. Here are summary statistics on the reported price of wheat from the selected producers, in dollars per bushel:

Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the difference in the mean wheat price in July and in September.

You can find the Excite Poll online at poll.excite.com. You simply click on a response to become part of the sample. The poll question for June 19,2005, was 鈥淒o you prefer watching first-run movies at a movie theater, or waiting until they are available on home video or pay-per-view?鈥� In all, 8896people responded, with only 12%(1118people) saying they preferred theaters. You can conclude that

(a) American adults strongly prefer home videos or pay-per-view.

(b) the high nonresponse rate prevents us from drawing a conclusion.

(c) the sample is too small to draw any conclusion.

(d) the poll uses voluntary response, so the results tell us little about all American adults.

(e) American adults strongly prefer seeing movies at a movie theater.

Toyota or Nissan? Are Toyota or Nissan owners more satis铿乪d with their vehicles? Let鈥檚 design a study to 铿乶d out. We鈥檒l select a random sample of 400Toyota owners and a separate random sample of 400Nissan owners. Then we鈥檒l ask each individual in the sample: 鈥淲ould you say that you are generally satis铿乪d with your (Toyota/Nissan) vehicle?鈥�

(a) Is this a problem with comparing means or comparing proportions? Explain.

(b) What type of study design is being used to produce data?
