Chapter 1: Q 40. (page 43)

Fuel efficiency In an earlier example, we examined data on highway gas mileages of the model year 2009 midsize cars. The dot plot below shows the difference (highway 鈥� city) in EPA mileage ratings for each of the 24car models from the earlier example.

(a) Explain what the dot above 6represents.

(b) What does the graph tell us about fuel economy in the city versus on the highway for these car models? Be specific.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) The dot above 6 denotes that one of 21 automobile models had EPA mileage that was higher on the highway than in the city.

Part (b) In comparison to the city, the highway has a higher EPA mileage

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given graph :

02

Part (a) Step 2: Concept

Dot-plots in the figure indicates the distance between highway and city that are presented as mileage.

03

Part (a) Step 3: Explanation

The dot-plot shows the difference in EPA mileage ratings (highway-city) for each of the 21car models. The dot above 6 indicates that one of 21 automobile models had EPA mileage that was 6 points greater on the highway than in the city.

04

Part (b) Step 1: Explanation

In comparison to the city, the highway has a higher EPA mileage. On the highway, fuel economy is better than in the city.

Where do the young live? Below is a stem plot of the percent of residents aged 25 to 34 in each of the 50 states. As in the stem plot for older residents (page 35), the stems are whole percent and the leaves are tenths of a percent. This time, each stem has been split in two, with values having leaves 0 through4 placed on one stem, and values ending in 5 through 9 placed on another stem.

(a) Why did we split stems?

(b) Utah has the highest percentage of residents aged 25 to 34. What is that percent? Why do you think Utah has an unusually high percentage of residents in this age group?

(c) Describe the shape, center, and spread of the distribution, ignoring Utah.

The National Survey of Adolescent Health interviewed several thousand teens (grades 7to 12). One question asked was 鈥淲hat do you think are the chances you will be married in the next ten years?鈥� Here is a two-way table of the responses by gender:

You are preparing to study the television-viewing habits of high school students. Describe two categorical variables and two quantitative variables that you might record for each student. Give the units of measurement for the quantitative variables.

How can we help wood surfaces resist weathering, especially when restoring historic wooden buildings? In a study of this question, researchers prepared wooden panels and then exposed them to the weather. Here are some of the variables recorded: type of wood (yellow poplar, pine, cedar); type of water repellent (solvent-based, water-based); paint thickness (millimeters); paint color (white, gray, light blue); weathering time (months).

Identify each variable as categorical or quantitative.
