Chapter 4: Q. 1.14 (page 295)

Boxplots of two data sets are shown.

Based on the boxplots, which of the following is true?

a. The range of both plots is about the same.

b. The means of both plots are approximately equal.

c. Plot 2 contains more data points than Plot 1.

d. The medians are approximately equal.

e. Plot 1 is more symmetric than Plot 2.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Option (a) The range of both plots is about the same is true.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We need to find the true statement of the given statements.

02

Explanation for Option (a)

This statement is true because the spread is the distance between whiskers of the boxplot and we note that these are for both plots about same.

03

Explanation for Option (b) 

This statement is false because you can't determine the mean based on boxplot.

04

 Explanation for Option (c) 

This statement is false because you can't find the number of data points based on boxplot.

05

Explanation for Option (d) 

This statement is false because we see that medians are not equal since lines are not in same Position.

06

Explanation for Option (e) 

This statement is also false because the lines of middle in the box is more to the left of box than the Line in the middle in box of plot2.

Cocoa and blood flow A study of blood flow involved 27healthy people aged 18to 72. Each subject consumed a cocoa beverage containing 900milligrams of flavonols daily for 5days. Using a finger cuff, blood flow was measured on the first and fifth days of the study. After 5 days, researchers measured what they called 鈥渟ignificant improvement鈥� in blood flow and the function of the cells that line the blood vessels. What flaw in the design of this experiment makes it impossible to say if the cocoa really caused the improved blood flow? Explain your answer.

Animal testing (1.1) 鈥淚t is right to use animals for medical testing if it might save human lives.鈥� The General Social Survey asked 1152adults to react to this statement. Here is the two-way table of their responses:

a. Construct segmented bar graphs to display the distribution of opinion for males and for females. b. Is there an association between gender and opinion for the members of this sample? Explain your answer

iPhonesSuppose 1000iPhones are produced at a factory today. Management would like to ensure that the phones鈥� display screens meet their quality standards before shipping them to retail stores. Because it takes about 10minutes to inspect an individual phone鈥檚 display screen, managers decide to inspect a sample of 20phones from the day鈥檚 production.

a. Explain why it would be difficult for managers to inspect an SRS of 20iPhones that are produced today.

b. An eager employee suggests that it would be easy to inspect the last 20iPhones that were produced today. Why isn鈥檛 this a good idea?

c. Another employee recommends a different sampling method: Randomly choose one of the first50 iPhones produced. Inspect that phone and every fiftieth iPhone produced afterward. (This method is known as systematic random sampling.) Explain carefully why this sampling method is not an SRS.

Student archaeologists An archaeological dig turns up large numbers of pottery shards,

broken stone tools, and other artifacts. Students working on the project classify each

artifact and assign a number to it. The counts in different categories are important for

understanding the site, so the project director chooses 2%of the artifacts at random and

checks the students鈥� work. Identify the population and the sample.

Far from home? A researcher wants to estimate the average distance that students at a large community college live from campus. To find out, she surveys a simple random sample of students from the registrar鈥檚 database.

a. Will the researcher鈥檚 sample result be exactly the same as the true population's mean? Explain your answer.

b. Which would be more likely to produce a sample result closer to the true population value: an SRS of 100students or an SRS of 50students? Explain your answer.
