Chapter 1: Q. 12 (page 75)

You are interested in how much time students spend on the Internet each day. Here are data on the time spent on the Internet (in minutes) for a particular day reported by a random sample of 30 students at a large high school

(a) Construct a histogram of these data. (b) Are there any outliers? Justify your answer. (c) Would it be better to use the mean and standard deviation or the median and )12 to describe the center and spread of this distribution? Why?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The result of the numerical sequence is

b. The difference between IQR is 47 and 151 is an outlier

c. The results are median and IQR.

Step by step solution

01

Rearranging of numerical variables 

Assume rearrange all data in sequence form of 7 to 151 data The data is seen as

02

Result of difference of IQR

The average middle value is M = Q2=46+472=46.5

The first quartile is 30

the third is 77

the difference between third and fast is 47

03

Equation of IQR

More than 1.5 times IQR on the survey below Q1 and above Q3

Q3+1.5IQR=77+1.5脳47=147.5Q1+1.5IQR=30+1.5脳47=-40.5

As per solving the equation 151 is an outlier.

based on the 12a solution, IQR and median are best as they are not affected by outliers but standard deviation and mean are also influenced by outliers.

So, the results are median and IQR.

Race and the death penalty Whether a convicted murderer gets the death penalty seems to be influenced by the race of the victim. Here are data on

326 cases in which the defendant was convicted of murder:

(a) Use these data to make a two-way table of the defendant鈥檚 race (white or black) versus the death penalty (yes or no).

(b) Show that Simpson鈥檚 paradox holds: a higher percent of white defendants are sentenced to death overall, but for both black and white victims a higher percent of black defendants are sentenced to death.

(c) Use the data to explain why the paradox holds in the language that a judge could understand.

C-sections Do male doctors perform more cesarean sections (C-sections) than female doctors? A study in Switzerland examined the number of cesarean sections (surgical deliveries of babies) performed in a 100. Section 1.3 Describing Quantitative Data with Numbers 73 year by samples of male and female doctors. Here are summary statistics for the two distributions:

(a) Based on the computer output, which distribution would you guess has a more symmetrical shape? Explain.

(b) Explain how the IQRs of these two distributions can be so similar even though the standard deviations are quite different.

(c) Does it appear that males perform more C-sections? Justify your answer
