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.

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).

The club can send 4 students and 2 faculty members to a convention. It decides to choose those who will go by random selection. How will you label the two strata? Use Table D, beginning at line 123 to choose a stratified random sample of 4 students and 2 faculty members.

Eat well and exercise Most American adolescents don鈥檛 eat well and don鈥檛 exercise enough. Can middle schools increase physical activity among their students? Can they persuade students to eat

better? Investigators designed a 鈥減hysical activity intervention鈥 to increase activity in physical education classes and during leisure periods throughout the school day. They also designed a 鈥渘utrition intervention鈥 that improved school lunches and offered ideas for healthy home-packed lunches. Each participating school was randomly assigned to one of the interventions, both interventions, or no intervention. The investigators observed physical activity and lunchtime

consumption of fat.

Customer satisfaction A department store mails a customer satisfaction survey to people who make credit card purchases at the store. This month, 45,000

people made credit card purchases. Surveys are mailed to 1000 of these people, chosen at random, and 137 people return the survey form. Identify the

population and the sample.

Dead trees On the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park, many mature pine trees are dying due to infestation by pine beetles. Scientists would like to

use sampling to estimate the proportion of all pine trees in the area that have been infected.

(a) Explain why it wouldn鈥檛 be practical for scientists to obtain an SRS in this setting.

(b) A possible alternative would be to use every pine tree along the park鈥檚 main road as a sample. Why is this sampling method biased?

(c) Suppose that a more complicated random sampling plan is carried out, and that 35% of the pine trees in the sample are infested by the pine beetle. Can

scientists conclude that 35% of all the pine trees on the west side of the park are infested? Why or why not?
