Chapter 1: Q. 54. (page 48)

Fuel efficiency Refer to Exercise 48. Describe the distribution.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Left skewed

Single peak

Gap between -2 mpg and 6 mpg

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information. 

The dotplot shows the difference (Highway 鈭� City) in EPA mileage ratings, in miles per gallon

02

 Step 2. The shape of the distribution.  

We can see that the distribution is skewed to the left because the peak in the dotplot is to the right, with a tail of fewer dots to the left.

We notice that the distribution has a single peak at 9 mpg, with a gap between -2 mpg and 6 mpg. -3 mpg is thus a possible outlier.

Left skewed

Single peak

Gap between -2 mpg and 6 mpg

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.

Birthrates in Africa One of the important factors in determining population growth rates is the birthrate per 1000 individuals in a population. The dotplot shows the birthrates per 1000 individuals (rounded to the nearest whole number) for 54 African nations.
