Chapter 12: Q. 21 (page 802)

The following back-to-back stem plots compare the ages of players from two minor-league hockey teams(1|7=17Years)

Which of the following cannot be justified from the plots?

(a) Team Ahas the same number of players in their 30sas does Team B.

(b) The median age of both teams is the same.

(c) Both age distributions are skewed to the right.

(d) The age ranges of both teams are similar.

(e) There are no outliers by the 1.51QRrule in either distribution.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Correct option is (b), The median age of both teams is the same.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Given Information

We are given a stem plot of ages of players of two teams

Stem plot is as shown below:

We need to find which option does not justifies given data.

Calculating median age of above teams using formula

l+((n/2-cf)/f)脳h

where

nis the number of observations

fis the frequency of median class

his the class size

cfis cumulative frequency.

Median age of team A=localid="1650646081318" 24.6

Median age of team B= localid="1650646075969" 24.06

Hence, option (b) is not justified from given information.

Do hummingbirds prefer store-bought food made from concentrate or a simple mixture of sugar and water? To find out, a researcher obtains 10identical hummingbird feeders and fills 5, chosen at random, with store-bought food from concentrate and the other 5with a mixture of sugar and water. The feeders are then randomly assigned to10possible hanging locations in the researcher鈥檚 yard. Which inference procedure should you use to test whether hummingbirds show a preference for store-bought food based on amount consumed?

(a) A one-sample z test for a proportion .

(b) A two-sample z test for a proportion .

(c) A chi-square test for association/independence .

(d) A two-sample t test .

(a) It will be Normally distributed with a mean of 280poundsand a standard deviation of 80pounds.

(b) It will be Normally distributed with a mean of 280poundsand a standard deviation of 8pounds.

(c) It will be approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 280poundsand a standard deviation of 80pounds.

(d) It will be approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 280poundsand a standard deviation of 8pounds.

(e) There is not enough information to determine the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

A survey 铿乺m wants to ask a random sample of adults in Ohio if they support an increase in the state sales tax from 5%% to 6%, with the additional revenue going to education. Let p^denote the proportion in the sample who say that they support the increase. Suppose that 40%of all adults in Ohio support the increase. How large a sample would be needed to guarantee that the standard deviation of p^is no more than 0.01?

(b) 2400

(c)2401

(d) 2500

(e)9220
