Chapter 1: Q 56. (page 46)

Drive time Professor Moore, who lives a few miles outside a college town, records the time he takes to drive to the college each morning. Here are the times (in minutes) for 42 consecutive weekdays:

Make a histogram of these drive times. Is the distribution roughly symmetric, clearly skewed, or neither? Are there any clear outliers?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There are no outliers or extreme values.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

8.257.838.308.428.508.678.179.009.008.177.92
9.008.509.007.757.928.008.088.428.758.089.75
8.337.837.928.587.838.427.757.426.757.428.50
8.6710.178.758.588.679.179.088.838.67

02

Concept

The formula used: Range=Minimum value-Maximum value

03

Explanation

The Histogram of the drive time is

The distribution's form appears to be closer to symmetric. It is a left-skewed distribution in particular, with the data centering at 8.4 minutes.

Therefore,

Maximum value = 10.17

Minimum value=6.75

Range=Minimum value-Maximum value

Range=10.17-6.75=3.42

Therefore, there are no outliers or extreme values.

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.
