Chapter 2: Q.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

The highest gas mileages appear for a two-seaters on the highway and for mini compact vehicles on the highway.

Thus the highest gas mileages appear on the high way and the lowest in the city.

The spread of gas mileages are roughly the same for every type of car in both the city and on the highway

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

Given in the question that the figure shows boxplots for both city and highway gas mileages for our two groups of cars we have to write a few sentences comparing these distributions

02

Explanation 

In general, the highest gas mileages appear for a two-seaters on the highway and for mini compact vehicles on the highway.

Thus the highest gas mileages appear on the high way and the lowest in the city.

The spread of gas mileages are roughly the same for every type of car in both the city and on the highway

T2.11. As part of the President's Challenge, students can attempt to earn the Presidential Physical Fitness Award or the National Physical Fitness Award by meeting qualifying standards in five events: curl-ups, shuttle run, sit and reach, one-mile run, and pull-ups. The qualifying standards are based on the 1985School Population Fitness Survey. For the Presidential award, the standard for each event is the 85thpercentile of the results for a specific age group and gender among students who participated in the 1985survey. For the National award, the standard is the 50th percentile. To win either award, a student must meet the qualifying standard for all five events.
Jane, who is 9years old, did 40curl-ups in one minute. Matt, who is 12years old, also did 40curl-ups in one minute. The qualifying standard for the Presidential award is 39curl-ups for Jane and 50curl-ups for Matt. For the National award, the standards are 30and 40, respectively.
(a) Compare Jane's and Matt's performances using percentiles. Explain in language simple enough for someone who knows little statistics to understand.
(b) Who has the higher standardized value (z-score), Jane or Matt? Justify your answer.
