Here are the IQ scores of 10randomly chosen fifth-grade students:

Which of the following statements about this data set is not true?

a. The student with an IQ of 96is considered an outlier by the 1.5IQRrule.

b. The five-number summary of the 10IQ scores is 96,118,123.5,130,145.

c. If the value 96were removed from the data set, the mean of the remaining 9IQ scores would be greater than the mean of all 10IQ scores.

d. If the value 96were removed from the data set, the standard deviation of the remaining 9IQ scores would be less than the standard deviation of all 10IQ scores.

e. If the value 96were removed from the data set, the IQR of the remaining 9IQ scores would be less than the IQR of all 10IQ scores.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (e).

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

Given IQ score:

145,139,126,122,125,130,96,110,118,118

02

Step 2. Explanation

For option (a), order the data values from smallest to largest:

96,110,118,118,122,125,126,130,139,145

The median is the middle value of the data. And since the number of data is even then:

M=Q2=122+1252=2472=123.5

The first quartile is the median of the data values below the median i.e.

Q1=118

The third quartile is the median of the data values above the median i.e.

Q3=130

Now, the interquartile range will be:

IQR=Q3-Q1=130-118=12

Outliers are observations that are more than 1.5times the IQR above Q3orbelowQ1.

Q3+1.5IQR=130+1.5(12)=148Q1-1.5IQR=118-1.5(12)=100

Since96 lies below 100,96 is considered an outlier by the1.5 times interquartile range and thus the option (a) is true.

03

Step 3. Explanation

For option(b), the five summary consists of the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile and the maximum, which are all the same thus the option (b) is true.

04

Step 4. Explanation

For option (c), 96is the smallest value in the data set. We then expect the mean to increase if96 is removed from the data set, as the centre of the data will become higher when the minimum is removed and thus, option (c) is true.

05

Step 5. Explanation

For option (d), the standard deviation measures the amount of variation or the spread of the data set. 96is the smallest value in the data set. We then expect the standard deviation to increase if96 is removed from the data set, as the spread decrease when the minimum is removed and thus, option (d) is true.

06

Step 6. Explanation

For option (e), 96is the smallest value in the data set and from part (a) we know that96 is an outlier. We then expect the IQR to not be affected if 96is removed from the data as the IQR should not be influenced by the outlier and thus option (e) is not true.

Thus, we will select the option (e) as correct answer.

Seed weight (2.2) Biological measurements of the same species often follow a normal distribution quite closely. The mean weights of seeds of a variety of winged beans are approximately normal, with a mean of 525milligrams (mg) and a standard deviation of 110mg.

a. What percent of seeds weigh more than 500mg?

b. If we discard the lightest 10%of these seeds, what is the smallest weight among the remaining seeds?

SRS of students? At a party, there are 30 students over age 21 and 20students underage21. You choose at random 3 of those over 21 and separately choose at random 2 of those under 21 to interview about their attitudes toward alcohol. You have given every student at the party the same chance to be interviewed. Is your sample an SRS? Explain your answer.

A maker of fabric for clothing is setting up a new line to 鈥渇inish鈥 the raw fabric. The line will use either metal rollers or natural-bristle rollers to raise the surface of the fabric; a dyeing-cycle time of either 30or40minutes; and a temperature of either 150Cor175C. Three specimens of fabric will be subjected to each treatment and scored for quality.

a. List the factors in this experiment and state how many levels each factor has.

b. If the researchers used every possible combination to form the treatments, how many

treatments were included in the experiment?

c. List two of the treatments.

A recent random sample of n=805adult U.S. residents found that the proportion who rated the honesty and ethical standards of nurses as high or very high is 0.85. This is 0.15higher than the proportion recorded for doctors, the next highest-ranked profession.

a. Identify the sample and the population in this setting.

b. Do you think that the proportion of all U.S. residents who would rate the honesty and ethical standards of nurses as high or very high is exactly 0.85? Explain your answer.

c. What is the benefit of increasing the sample size in this context?

A simple random sample of 1200 adult Americans is selected, and each person is asked

the following question: 鈥淚n light of the huge national deficit, should the government at this

time spend additional money to send humans to Mars?鈥 Only 39% of those responding

answered 鈥淵es.鈥 This survey

a. is reasonably accurate because it used a large simple random sample.

b. needs to be larger because only about 24 people were drawn from each state.

c. probably understates the percent of people who favor sending humans to Mars.

d. is very inaccurate but neither understates nor overstates the percent of people who favor

sending humans to Mars. Because simple random sampling was used, it is unbiased.

e. probably overstates the percent of people who favor sending humans to Mars.
