Chapter 2: Q.2.75 (page 135)

Gas it up! (1.3) Interested in a sporty car? Worried that it might use too much gas? The Environmental Protection Agency lists most such vehicles in its 鈥渢wo-seater鈥� or 鈥渕inicompact鈥� categories. The figure shows boxplots for both city and highway gas mileages for our two groups of cars. Write a few sentences comparing these distributions.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Both on the highway and in the city, two-seater cars get better fuel economy than mini compacts.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given in the question that a graph,

02

Solution

Below is a graph illustrating the mileage of city and highway vehicles of both groups,

In both groups of vehicles, it is evident that the mileage per gallon on the highway is higher than in the city.

On the highway as well as in the city, two-seater cars get better mileage than their mini-compact counterparts.

Python eggs (1.1) How is the hatching of water python eggs influenced by the temperature of the snake鈥檚 nest? Researchers assigned newly laid eggs to one of three temperatures: hot, neutral, or cold. Hot duplicates the extra warmth provided by the mother python, and cold duplicates the absence of the mother. Here are the data on the number of eggs and the number that hatched:

(a) Make a two-way table of temperature by outcome (hatched or not).

(b) Calculate the percent of eggs in each group that hatched. The researchers believed that eggs would not hatch in cold water. Do the data support that belief?

Mrs. Munson is concerned about how her daughter鈥檚 height and weight compared with those of other girls of the same age. She uses an online calculator to determine that her daughter is at the 87th percentile for weight and the 67th percentile for height. Explain to Mrs. Munson what this means.

Questions 3 and 4 relate to the following setting. The graph displays the cumulative relative frequency of the lengths of phone calls made from the mathematics department office at Gabaldon High last month.

What the mean means The figure below is a density curve. Trace the curve onto your paper.

(a) Mark the approximate location of the median. Justify your choice of location.

(b) Mark the approximate location of the mean. Justify your choice of location.

Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to estimate the percent of observations from a Normal distribution that fall in an interval involving points one, two, or three standard deviations on either side of the mean.

Comparing batting averages Three landmarks of baseball achievement are Ty Cobb鈥檚 batting average of 420in 1911, Ted Williams鈥檚 406in 1941, and George Brett鈥檚 390in 1980. These batting averages cannot be compared directly because the distribution of major league batting averages has changed over the years. The distributions are quite symmetric, except for outliers such as Cobb, Williams, and Brett. While the mean batting average has been held roughly constant

by rule changes and the balance between hitting and pitching, the standard deviation has dropped over time. Here are the facts: Compute the standardized batting averages for Cobb, Williams, and Brett to compare how far each stood above his peers.

T2.6. The figure shown is the density curve of a distribution. Five of the seven points marked on the density curve make up the five-number summary for this distribution. Which two points are not part of the five-number summary?

(a) Band E
(b) C and F
(c) C and E
(d) B and F
(e) A and G.
