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.

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?

Going to school Students in a high school statistics class were given data about the main method of transportation to school for a group of 30 students. They produced the pictograph shown. Explain how this graph is misleading.

Protecting woodWhat measures can be taken, especially when restoring historic wooden buildings, to help wood surfaces resist weathering? In a study of this question, researchers prepared wooden panels and then exposed them to the weather. Some of the variables recorded were type of wood (yellow poplar, pine, cedar); type of water repellent (solvent based, water-based); paint thickness (millimeters); paint color (white, gray, light blue); weathering time (months). Classify each variable as categorical or quantitative.

Risks of playing soccer (1.1) A study in Sweden looked at former elite soccer players, people who had played soccer but not at the elite level, and people of the same age who did not play soccer. Here is a two-way table that classifies these individuals by whether or not they had arthritis of the hip or knee by their mid-fifties:

Part (a). What percent of the people in this study were elite soccer players? What percent of the people in this study developed arthritis?

Part (b). What percent of the elite soccer players developed arthritis? What percent of those who got arthritis were elite soccer players?

Part (c). Researchers suspected that the more serious soccer players were more likely to develop arthritis later in life. Do the data confirm this suspicion? Calculate appropriate percentages to support your answer.

Medical study variables Data from a medical study contain values of many variables for each subject in the study. Some of the variables recorded were gender (female or male); age (years); race (Asian, Black, White, or other); smoker (yes or no); systolic blood pressure (millimeters of mercury); level of calcium in the blood (micrograms per milliliter). Classify each variable as categorical or quantitative.
