Here are the IQ scores of 10randomly chosen fifth-grade students:

Which of the following statements about this data set is not true?

(a) The student with an IQ of 96is considered an outlier by the 1.5IQRrule.

(b) The five-number summary of the 10IQ scores is 96,118,123.5,130,145

(c) If the value 96were removed from the data set, the mean of the remaining 9 IQ scores would be higher than the mean of all 10IQ scores.

(d) If the value 96 were removed from the data set, the standard deviation of the remaining 9 IQ scores would be lower than the standard deviation of all 10IQ scores.

(e) If the value 96were removed from the data set, the IQR of the remaining 9IQ scores would be lower than the IQR of all 10IQ scores.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (e).

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Number of IQ scores=10

The IQ scores are145,139,126,122,125,130,96,110,118,118

02

Concept

Inter quartile range

IQR=Q3Q1Q3=3(n+14)thtermQ1=(n+14)thterm

03

Calculation

Arranging in ascending order

96,110,118,118,122,125,126,130,139,145

The IQR for the 10scores can be calculated as follows

Q3=3(10+14)thtermQ3=32.75thterm=8.25thtermQ3=8thterm+14(9thterm8thterm)Q3=130+14(139130)=132.25

The lower quartile is

Q1=(10+14)thtermQ1=2.75thtermQ1=2thterm+34(3thterm2thterm)Q1=110+34(118110)=116

Therefore the IQR for 10scores is

132.25116=16.25

After deleting 96, find the IQR.

The updated set of results is as follows:

110,118,118,122,125,126,130,139,145

The IQR for the 9scores can be calculated as follows

Q3=3(9+14)thtermQ3=32.5thterm=7.5thtermQ3=7thterm+12(8thterm7thterm)Q3=130+12(139130)=134.5

The lower quartile is

Q1=(9+14)thtermQ1=2.5thtermQ1=2thterm+12(3thterm2thterm)Q1=118+12(118118)=118

Therefore the IQR for 9scores is

134.5118=16.5

As a result, the IQR of scores after deleting 96(=16.5) is somewhat higher than the original(=16.25) invalidating the subpart statement (e).

Acupuncture and pregnancy A study sought to determine whether the ancient Chinese art of acupuncture could help infertile women become pregnant.41 One hundred sixty healthy women undergoing treatment with artificial insemination were recruited for the study. Half of the subjects were randomly assigned to receive acupuncture treatment 25minutes before embryo transfer and again 25

minutes after the transfer. The remaining 80subjects were instructed to lie still for 25minutes after the embryo transfer.

Results: In the acupuncture group, 34women became pregnant. In the control group, 21women became pregnant.

(a) Describe how the three principles of experimental design were addressed in this study.

(b) The difference in the percent of women who became pregnant in the two groups is statistically significant. Explain what this means to someone who

knows little statistics.

(c) Explain why the placebo effect prevents us from concluding that acupuncture caused the difference in pregnancy rates.

Systematic random sample Sample surveys often use a systematic random sample to choose a sample of apartments in a large building or housing units in a block at the last stage of a multistage sample. Here is a description of how to choose a systematic random sample. Suppose that we must choose 4 addresses out of 100 Because 100/4=25 we can think of the list as four lists of 25 addresses. Choose 1 of the first 25 addresses at random using Table D. The sample contains this address and the addresses 25,50, and 75 places down the list from it. If the table gives 13, for example, then the systematic random sample consists of the addresses numbered 13,38,63, and 88

(a) Use Table D to choose a systematic random sample of 5 addresses from a list of 200 Enter the table at line 120

(b) Like an SRS, a systematic random sample gives all individuals the same chance to be chosen. Explain why this is true. Then explain carefully why a systematic sample is not an SRS.

Go Blue! Michigan Stadium, also known as 鈥淭he Big House,鈥 seats over 100,000 fans for a football game. The University of Michigan athletic department plans to conduct a survey about concessions that are sold during games. Tickets are most expensive for seats near the field and on the sideline. The cheapest seats are high up in the end zones (where one of the authors sat as a student). A map of the stadium is shown.100,000

(a) The athletic department is considering a stratified random sample. What would you recommend as the strata? Why?

(b) Explain why a cluster sample might be easier to obtain. What would you recommend for the clusters? Why?

Student archaeologists An archaeological dig turns up large numbers of pottery shards, broken stone tools, and other artifacts. Students working on the project classify each artifact and assign it a number. The counts in different categories are important for understanding the site, so the project director chooses 2% of the artifacts at random and checks the students鈥 work. Identify the population and the sample.

Two essential features of all statistically designed experiments are

(a) comparing several treatments; use the double-blind method.

(b) compare several treatments; use the chance to assign subjects to treatments.

(c) always have a placebo group; use the double-blind method.

(d) use a block design; use the chance to assign subjects to treatments.

(e) use enough subjects; always have a control group.
