Chapter 1: Q 45. (page 47)

Feeling sleepy? Students in a high school statistics class responded to a survey designed by their teacher. One of the survey questions was 鈥淗ow much sleep did you get last night?鈥� Here are the data (in hours):

Part (a). Make a dotplot to display the data.

Part (b). Experts recommend that high school students sleep at least 9 hours per night. What proportion of students in this class got the recommended amount of sleep?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a)

Part (b) 0.1785

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

A survey designed by their teacher was completed by students in a high school statistics class.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Create a number line.

Put a dot above the corresponding number on the number line for each given data value.

03

Part (b) Step 1. This class's students got the recommended amount of sleep.

We can see in the dotplot that there are three dots at nine, one at ten, and one at eleven, for a total of five dots that correspond to at least nine hours of sleep per night.

Furthermore, we note that there are 28 dots in total in the dotplot, implying that 5 of the 28 students in the study slept at least 9 hours per night.

528鈮�0.1785

Thus, 0.1785 of the students in the study slept for at least 9 hours per night.

(a) Find the median.

(b) Without doing any calculations, explain how the mean and median compare.

Python eggsRefer to Exercise 26.

(a) Of the eggs that hatched, what proportion were randomly assigned to hot water?

(b) Of the eggs that were randomly assigned to hot water, what percent hatched?

(c) The segmented bar graph displays the distribution of hatching status by water temperature. Describe what this graph reveals about the association between these two variables for the python eggs in this experiment.

Who studies more? Researchers asked the students in a large first-year college class how many minutes they studied on a typical weeknight. The back-to-back stemplot displays the responses from random samples of 30 women and 30 men from the class, rounded to the nearest 10 minutes. Write a few sentences comparing the male and female distributions of study time.

The histogram shows the distribution of the percent of women aged 15 and over who have never married in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Which of the following statements about the histogram is correct?

a. The center (median) of the distribution is about 36%.

b. There are more states with percentages above 32 than there are states with percentages less than 24.

c. It would be better if the values from 34 to 50 were deleted on the horizontal axis so there wouldn鈥檛 be a large gap.

d. There was one state with a value of exactly 33%.

e. About half of the states had percentages between 24% and 28%.

Feeling sleepy? Refer to Exercise 45. Describe the shape of the distribution.
