Do women study more than men? We asked the students in a large first-year college class how many minutes they studied on a typical weeknight. Here are
the responses of random samples of women and men from the class:

(a) Examine the data. Why are you not surprised that most responses are multiples of 10 minutes? Are there any responses you consider suspicious?
(b) Make a back-to-back stem plot to compare the two samples. Does it appear that women study more than men (or at least claim that they do)? Justify your answer.
Dates on coins
(a) Sketch a dot-plot for a distribution that is skewed to the left.
(b) Suppose that you and your friends emptied your pockets of coins and recorded the year marked on each coin. The distribution of dates would be skewed to the left. Explain why.
El Niño and the monsoon It appears that El Niño, the periodic warming of the Pacific Ocean west of South America, affects the monsoon rains that are essential for agriculture in India. Here are the monsoon rains (in millimeters) for the strong El Niño years between and
(a) To make a stem plot of these rainfall amounts, round the data to the nearest 10, so that stems are hundreds of millimeters and leaves are tens of millimeters. Make two stem plots, with and without splitting
the stems. Which plot do you prefer?
(b) Describe the shape, center, and spread of the distribution.
(c) The average monsoon rainfall for all years from to is about millimeters. What effect does El Niño appear to have on monsoon rains?

One of the following scores was omitted from the stem plot below:
