Chapter 2: Q. 11 (page 138)

R2.11 Fruit fly thorax lengths Here are the lengths in millimeters of the thorax for 49 male fruit flies: 18

Are these data approximately Normally distributed? Give appropriate graphical and numerical evidence to support your answer.

- Interpret a Normal probability plot.

Short Answer

Expert verified

These data are, in fact, normally distributed.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information 

The lengths in millimeters of the thorax for 49 male fruit flies: 18

02

Explanation 

In this case, frequency is defined as the number of values that fall within the class interval.

Make sure that the classes do not overlap, and all have the same width (Note: Changing the classes will change the frequency distribution and the histogram).

ClassFrequency
0.6-<0.65
3
0.65-<0.7
3
0.7-<0.75
5
0.75-<0.8
9
0.8-<0.85
17
0.85-<0.9
8
0.9-<0.95
4

Histogram

Each bar needs to have the same width and height, corresponding to the frequency.

03

Explanation 

Follow these steps to make a normal probability plot:

The normal scores are on the vertical axis, while the provided values are on the horizontal axis.

The symmetric histogram and linear normal quantile plot give the distribution a nearly normal form.

describes the uniform distribution of accidents.

(a) Explain why this curve satisfies the two requirements for a density curve.

(b) The proportion of accidents that occur in the first mile of the path is the area under the density curve between 0 miles and 1 mile. What is this area?

(c) Sue鈥檚 property adjoins the bike path between the 0.8-mile mark and the 1.1-mile mark. What proportion of accidents happens in front of Sue鈥檚 property?

Explain.

Questions T2.9 and T2.10 refer to the following setting. Until the scale was changed in 1995, SAT scores were based on a scale set many years ago. For Math scores, the mean under the old scale in the 1990swas 470and the standard deviation was 110. In 2009, the mean was 515 and the standard deviation was 116 .
T2.9. What is the standardized score ( z-score) for a student who scored 500 on the old SAT scale?
(a) -30
(b) -0.27
(c) -0.13
(d) 0.13
(e) 0.27

(b) Between what heights do the middle 95%of men fall?

(c) What per cent of men are between 64and 66.5inches tall?
