Chapter 2: Q 40. (page 109)

Lefties (1.1) Students were asked, 鈥淎re you righthanded, left-handed, or ambidextrous?鈥� The responses are shown below (R = right-handed;

L = left-handed; A = ambidextrous).

(a) Make an appropriate graph to display these data.

(b) Over 10,000 Canadian high school students took the Census At School survey in 2007鈥�2008. What percent of this population would you estimate is lefthanded? Justify your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (b) The percentage of the population that is left-handed is 6%

Part (a)

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given

02

Part (a) Step 2. Explanation

The frequency table for the above data is


Therefore, bar chart is drawn

03

Part (b) Step 1. Explanation

Since, 3of 50were left-handed, 350=0.06=6%

Therefore, the percentage of the population that is left-handed is 6%

Most popular questions from this chapter

Which of the following is least likely to have a nearly Normal distribution?

(a) Heights of all female students taking STAT 001 at State Tech.

(b) IQ scores of all students taking STAT 001 at State Tech.

(c) SAT Math scores of all students taking STAT 001 at State Tech.

(d) Family incomes of all students taking STAT 001 at State Tech.

(e) All of (a)鈥�(d) will be approximately Normal.

R2.4 Aussie, Aussie, Aussie A group of Australian students were asked to estimate the width of their classroom in feet. Use the dot plot and summary statistics below to answer the following questions.

(a) Suppose we converted each student's guess from feet to meters (3.28ft=1m). How would the shape of the distribution be affected? Find the mean, median, standard deviation, and IQR for the transformed data.

(b) The actual width of the room was 42.6feet. Suppose we calculated the error in each student's guess as follows: guess -42.6. Find the mean and standard deviation of the errors. How good were the students' guesses? Justify your answer.

Approximately locate the median (equal-areas point) and the mean (balance point) on a density curve.

Mean and median The figure below displays two density curves, each with three points marked. At which of these points on each curve do the mean and

the median fall?

Normal is only approximate: ACT scores Scores on the ACT test for the 2007 high school graduating class had mean 21.2and standard deviation 5.0. In all, 1,300,599students in this class took the test. Of these, 149,164had scores higher than 27and another 50,310had scores exactly 27. ACT scores are always whole numbers. The exactly Normal N(21.2,5.0)distribution can include any value, not just whole numbers. What鈥檚 more, there is no area exactly above 27under the smooth Normal curve. So ACT scores can be only approximately Normal. To illustrate this fact, find

(a) the percent of 2007ACT scores greater than 27.

(b) the percent of 2007ACT scores greater than or equal to 27.

(c) the percent of observations from theN(21.2,5.0) distribution that are greater than 27. (The percent greater than or equal to 27 is the same, because there is no area exactly over 27.)

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 515and the standard deviation was 116 .
T2.10. Jane took the SAT in 1994and scored 500. Her sister Colleen took the SAT in 2009and scored 530. Who did better on the exam, and how can you tell?
(a) Colleen-she scored 30 points higher than Jane.
(b) Colleen-her standardized score is higher than Jane's.
(c) Jane-her standardized score is higher than Colleen's.
(d) Jane-the standard deviation was bigger in 2009.
(e) The two sisters did equally well-their z-scores are the same.
