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 1.5xIQRrule.

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.

(a) The statement about the data set is true.

(b) The statement about the data set is true.

(c) The statement about the data set is true.

(d) The statement about the data set is true.

(e) The statement about the data set is not true.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We need to find whether the given statement "The student with an IQ of 96is considered an outlier by the 1.5IQRrule is true or not.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

From least to largest, order the data values:

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

The median is the sorted data set's middle value. Because the number of data values is even, the median is the average of the sorted data set's two middle values:

M=Q2=122+1252=123.5

The median of the data values below the median is the first quartile (or at 25 percent of the data). The first quartile is the third data value since there are five data values below the mean.

The median of the data values above the median is the third quartile (or at seventy-five percent of the data). The third quartile is the third data value above the mean, and hence the 3+5=8thdata value, because there are five data values above the mean.

Because 96 is less than hundred, the 1.5xIQR rule considers it an outlier, and hence assertion (a) is TRUE.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

We need to find whether the given statement "The five-number summary of the 10IQ scores is 96,118,123.5,130,145" is true or false.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

The minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum are included in the five-number summary.

The minimum is 96and the highest is 145, with a median of 123.5, a first quartile of 118, and the third quartile of 130(part (a) of the result).

As a result, the five-number summary is 96,118,123.5,130,145, making statement (b) TRUE.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

We need to find whether the given statement "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" is true or not.

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

The mean is calculated by dividing the total of all data values by the number of data items.

The data set's smallest value is 96.

If 96is removed from the data set, we may expect the mean to rise since the data's center will grow higher when the minimum is eliminated, proving that assertion (c) is correct.

07

Part (d) Step 1: Given information

We need to find whether the given statement "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" Is true or not.

08

Part (d) Step 2: Explanation

The standard deviation is a measurement of how much variation or spread there is in a data collection.

The data set's smallest value is 96.

If 96is removed from the data set, we expect the standard deviation to drop since the spread will reduce when the minimum is removed, and thus statement (d) is TRUE.

09

Part (e) Step 1: Given information

We need to find whether the given statement "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" is true or not.

10

Part (e) Step 2: Explanation

The interquartile range (IQR) is a robust measure of spread, which means it is unaffected by outliers.

Part (a) tells us that 96is an outlier because it is the smallest value in the data set.

If 96is removed from the data set, we anticipate the IQR to be unaffected, as the IQR should not be influenced by the outlier, and so statement (e) is FALSE.

Boys don鈥檛 cry? Two female statistics students asked a random sample of 60 high school

boys if they have ever cried during a movie. Thirty of the boys were asked directly and the

other 30 were asked anonymously by means of a 鈥渟ecret ballot.鈥 When the responses were

anonymous, 63% of the boys said 鈥淵es,鈥 whereas only 23% of the other group said 鈥淵es.鈥

Explain why the two percentages are so different.

Explain it to the congresswoman You are on the staff of a member of Congress who is considering a bill that would provide government-sponsored insurance for nursing-home care. You report that 1128 letters have been received on the issue, of which 871 oppose the legislation. 鈥淚鈥檓 surprised that most of my constituents oppose the bill. I thought it would be quite popular,鈥 says the congresswoman. Are you convinced that a majority of the voters oppose the bill? How would you explain the statistical issue to the congresswoman?

The administration at a high school with 1800 students wants to gather student opinions about parking for students on campus. It isn鈥檛 practical to contact all students.

a. Give an example of a way to choose a voluntary response sample of students. Explain how this method could lead to bias.

b. Give an example of a way to choose a convenience sample of students. Explain how this method could lead to bias.

c. Describe how to select an SRSof50students from the school.

d. Explain how the method you described in part (c) avoids the biases you described in parts (a) and (b).

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.

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?
