Boxplots of two data sets are shown.

Based on the boxplots, which statement below is true?

(a) The spread of both plots is about the same.

(b) The means of both plots are approximately equal.

(c) Plot 2 contains more data points than Plot1

(d) The medians are approximately equal.

(e) Plot 1 is more symmetric than Plot 2

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (a) The spread of both plots is about the same.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Boxplots :

02

Concept

A boxplot is a standardized method of depicting data distributions using a five-number summary ("minimum", first quartile (Q1) median, third quartile (Q3) and "maximum"). It can provide information about your outliers and their values.

03

Explanation

We may conclude that option (a) is correct because the length of both boxplots is about the same, indicating that the difference between maximum and minimum values is roughly the same.

Can changing diet reduce high blood pressure? Vegetarian diets and low-salt diets are both promising. Men with high blood pressure are assigned at random to four diets: (1) normal diet with unrestricted salt; (2) vegetarian with unrestricted salt; (3) normal with restricted salt; and (4) vegetarian with restricted salt. This experiment has

(a) one factor, the type of diet.

(b) two factors, high blood pressure, and type of diet.

(c) two factors, a normal/vegetarian diet and unrestricted/ restricted salt.

(d) three factors, men, high blood pressure, and type of diet.

(e) four factors, the four diets being compared.

Sampling stuffed envelopes A large retailer prepares its customers鈥� monthly credit card bills using an automatic machine that folds the bills, stuffs them

into envelopes, and seals the envelopes for mailing. Are the envelopes completely sealed? Inspectors choose 40 envelopes from 1000 stuffed each hour for visual inspection. Identify the population and the sample.

Fabric science A maker of fabric for clothing is setting up a new line to 鈥渇inish鈥� the raw fabric. The line will use either metal rollers or natural-bristle rollers to raise the surface of the fabric; a dyeing-cycle time of either 30 or 40 minutes; and a temperature of either 150掳 or 175掳 Celsius. An experiment will compare all combinations of these choices. Three specimens of fabric will be subjected to each treatment and scored for quality.

Got deodorant? A group of students wants to perform an experiment to determine whether Brand A or Brand B deodorant lasts longer. One group member

suggests the following design: Recruit 40student volunteers鈥�20male and 20female. Separate by gender, since male and female bodies might respond

differently to deodorant. Give all the males Brand A deodorant and all the females Brand B. Have each student rate how well the deodorant is still working at the end of the school day on a 0 to 10 scale. Then compare ratings for the two treatments.

(a) Identify any flaws you see in the proposed design for this experiment.

(b) Describe how you would design the experiment. Explain how your design addresses each of the problems you identified in (a).
