Eat your beans! Beans and other legumes are a great source of protein. The following data give the protein content of 30 different varieties of beans, in grams per 100 grams of cooked beans

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

Part (b). What interesting feature does the graph reveal?

Part (c). What proportion of these bean varieties contain more than 9 grams of protein per 100 grams of cooked beans?

Part (b) 13.5 grams per 100 cooked beans is a possible outlier.

Part (c) 0.2333

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information. 

7.5, 8.2, 89, 9.3, 7.1, 8.3, 8.7. 9.5, 8.2, 9.1, 90, 90, 97, 92 89, 8.1, 90, 7.8, 8.0, 7.8, 7.0, 7.5, 13.5, 8.3, 6.8, 10.6, 8.3, 76, 77, 8.1

02

Part (a) Step 2. Create a stemplot from these data.

Let us now order the data values from smallest to largest.

6.8, 7.0, 7.1. 7.5, 7.5, 7.6, 77, 78, 7.8, 8.0, 8.1, 8.1, 82, 82, 83, 8.3, 8.3.

8.7, 8.9, 8.9, 90, 9.0, 9.0, 9.1, 92, 93, 9.5, 9.7, 10.6, 13.5

Make a vertical line.

Place the ones to the left of the vertical line and the tenths of each data value to the right of the vertical line

03

Part (b) Step 1. Interesting feature does the graph reveal 

We notice a gap between 13.5 and the remaining data values in the stemplot, indicating that 13.5 grams per 100 grams of cooked beans is a possible outlier.

As a results:

13.5 grams per 100 cooked beans is a possible outlier.

04

Part (c) Step 1. Proportion of these bean varieties contain more than 9 grams of protein per 100 grams of cooked beans. 

Then we notice that 7 of the 30 data values are greater than 9 (specifically, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.5, 9.7, 10.6, and 13.5).

7300.2333

This means that approximately 0.2333 of these bean varieties have more than 9 grams of protein per 100 grams of cooked beans.

Birth months Imagine asking a random sample of 60 students from your school about their birth months. Draw a plausible (believable) graph of the distribution of birth months. Should you use a bar graph or a histogram to display the data?

Die rolls Imagine rolling a fair, six-sided die 60 times. Draw a plausible graph of the distribution of die rolls. Should you use a bar graph or a histogram to display the data?

Which major? About 3 million first-year students enroll in colleges and universities each year. What do they plan to study? The pie chart displays data on the percent of first-year students who plan to major in several disciplines. About what percent of first-year students plan to major in business? In social science?

Simpson鈥檚 paradoxAccident victims are sometimes taken by helicopter from the accident scene to a hospital. Helicopters save time. Do they also save lives? The two-way table summarizes data from a sample of patients who were transported to the hospital by helicopter or by ambulance.

(a) What percent of patients died with each method of transport? Here are the same data broken down by severity of accident:

(b) Calculate the percent of patients who died with each method of transport for the serious accidents. Then calculate the percent of patients who died with each method of transport for the less serious accidents. What do you notice?

(c) See if you can explain how the result in part (a) is possible given the result in part (b).

Note: This is an example of Simpson鈥檚 paradox, which states that an association between two variables that holds for each value of a third variable can be changed or even reversed when the data for all values of the third variable are combined.

Body imageA random sample of 1200 U.S. college students was asked, 鈥淲hat is your perception of your own body? Do you feel that you are overweight, underweight, or about right?鈥 The two-way table summarizes the data on perceived body image by gender.

(a) What percent of respondents feel that their body weight is about right?

(b) What proportion of the sample is female?

(c) What percent of respondents are males and feel that they are overweight or underweight?
