Chapter 1: Q 38. (page 28)

Women and children first? Here鈥檚 another table that summarizes data on survival status by gender and class of travel on the Titanic:

(a) Find the distributions of survival status for males and for females within each class of travel. Did women survive the disaster at higher rates than men? Explain.

(b) In an earlier example, we noted that survival status is associated with class of travel. First-class passengers had the highest survival rate, while third-class passengers had the lowest survival rate. Does this same relationship hold for both males and females in all three classes of travel? Explain.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

The given table is:

02

Part (a) Step 2. Find the distributions of survival status for males and for females within each class of travel.

Third Class

1393鈮�13.98%
154165鈮�91.67%
89165鈮�53.94%
387462鈮�83.77%

From the above distribution, we can conclude that females' survival rate in the disaster is much higher than males.

In the first class, the female survival rate is 97.22%, and in the second class, it is 86.02%.

03

Part (b) Step 1. Explanation.

We can observe from the table in part (a) that the female survival rate is highest in first class (97.22%) and lowest in third class (46.06%).

However, when it comes to men, the second class (8.33 percent) has the lowest survival rate, while the third class (16.23 percent) has the highest.

As a result, in all three classes of travel, the same relationship does not hold for both males and girls.

Making money The parallel dotplots show the total family income of randomly chosen individuals from Indiana (38 individuals) and New Jersey (44 individuals). Compare the distributions of total family incomes in these two samples..

Marginal totals aren鈥檛 the whole storyHere are the row and column totals for a two-way table with two rows and two columns:

Find two different sets of counts a, b, c, and dfor the body of the table that give these same totals. This shows that the relationship between two variables cannot be obtained from the two individual distributions of the variables.

Who buys cars? A car dealer keeps records on car buyers for future marketing purposes. The table gives information on the last 4 buyers.

Part (a). Identify the individuals in this data set.

Part (b). What variables were measured? Classify each as categorical or quantitative.

Python eggs How is the hatching of water python eggs influenced by the temperature of the snake鈥檚 nest? Researchers randomly assigned newly laid eggs to one of three water temperatures: hot, neutral, or cold. Hot duplicates the extra warmth provided by the mother python, and cold duplicates the absence of the mother. The two-way table summarizes the data on whether or not the eggs hatched.

(a) What percent of eggs were randomly assigned to hot water?

(b) What proportion of eggs in the study hatched?

(c) What percent of eggs in the study were randomly assigned to cold or neutral water and hatched?

Healthy cereal? Researchers collected data on calories per serving for 77 brands of breakfast cereal. The histogram displays the data.

Part (a). Describe the overall shape of the distribution of calories.

Part (b). What is the approximate center of this distribution?

Part (c). Explain why you cannot find the exact value for the maximum number of calories per serving for these cereal brands. Between what two values does it lie?

Part (d). About what percent of the cereal brands have 130 or more calories per serving?
