Chapter 1: Q 46. (page 47)

Easy reading? Here are data on the lengths of the first 25 words on a randomly selected page from Toni Morrison鈥檚 Song of Solomon:

Part (a). Make a dotplot of these data.

Part (b). Long words can make a book hard to read. What percentage of words in the sample have 8 or more letters?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a)

Part (b) 16%

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

Here are data on the lengths of the first 25 words from Toni Morrison鈥檚 Song of Solomon:

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. The sample words have 8 or more letters.

We can see in the dotplot that there are two dots at eight, one at ten, and one at thus there are four dots that correspond to at least eight letters.

Furthermore, we can see that there are 25 dots in total in the dotplot, implying that 4 of the 25 words in the study contained 8 or more letters.

425=0.160.16=16%

As a result, 16% of the words in the sample have 8 or more letters.

Healthy streams Nitrates are organic compounds that are a main ingredient in fertilizers. When those fertilizers run off into streams, the nitrates can have a toxic effect on fish. An ecologist studying nitrate pollution in two streams measures nitrate concentrations at 42 places on Stony Brook and 42 places on Mill Brook. The parallel dotplots display the data. Compare the distributions of nitrate concentration in these two streams.
