Watch that caffeine! The U.S. Food and Drug Adminis tration (USFDA) limits the amount of caffeine in a 12-ounce can of carbonated beverage to 72 milligrams. That translates to a maximum of 48 milligrams of caffeine per 8-ounce serving. Data on the caffeine content of popular soft drinks (in milligrams per 8-ounce serving) are displayed in the stemplot.

Part (a). Why did we split stems?

Part (b). Give an appropriate key for this graph.

Part (c). Describe the shape of the distribution. Are there any outliers?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) As a result, we were able to determine the general shape of the distribution.

Part (b) An appropriate key for this stemplot is 115indicating that this soft drink contains 15 mg of caffeine per 8-ounce serving.

Part (c)

Right skewed

No outlier

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information. 

StemLeaf
15 5 6
20 3 3 3 4 4
25 5 6 6 7 7 7 8 8 8 8 8 9 9
31 1 3
35 5 5 6 7 7 7 8
43 3
47 7
02

Part (a) Step 2. Did we split stem 

StemLeaf
15 5 6
20 3 3 3 4 4
25 5 6 6 7 7 7 8 8 8 8 8 9 9
31 1 3
35 5 5 6 7 7 7 8
43 3
47 7

If we had not split the stems, all data values would have been placed on only four stems (1, 2, 3, 4), making it difficult to determine the general shape of the distribution.

As a result, we divided the stems in order to determine the general shape of the distribution.

03

Part (b) Step 1. Give an appropriate ate key for this graph

1556is the first line of the given stemplot.

This line corresponds to three data values because there are three values to the right of the vertical line. We only need one data value to create an appropriate key, so we limit the right side to one of the values 15

The tens are represented by the value to the left of the vertical line, while the ones are represented by the value to the right of the vertical line. 1 | 5 then represents one ten and five ones, corresponding to the number 15.

110+51=15

As a result, an appropriate key for this stemplot is 115, indicating that this soft drink contains 15 mg of caffeine per 8-ounce serving.

04

Part (c) Step 1. The shape of the distribution Are there any outliers 

The distribution's shape is skewed to the right because the majority of the data values appear to be near the top of the stemplot (corresponding with small data values), with a tail of more unusual data values near the bottom of the stemplot (corresponding with larger data values).

The absence of a gap in the stemplot indicates that there are no outliers in the stemplot.

As a result:

Right skewed

No outlier

Most popular questions from this chapter

Strong paper towels In commercials for Bounty paper towels, the manufacturer claims that they are the 鈥渜uicker picker-upper,鈥 but are they also the stronger picker-upper? Two of Mr. Tabor鈥檚 statistics students, Wesley and Maverick, decided to find out. They selected a random sample of 30 Bounty paper towels and a random sample of 30 generic paper towels and measured their strength when wet. To do this, they uniformly soaked each paper towel with 4 ounces of water, held two opposite edges of the paper towel, and counted how many quarters each paper towel could hold until ripping, alternating brands. The data are displayed in the relative frequency histograms. Compare the distributions

Part (a). Would it be appropriate to use frequency histograms instead of relative frequency histograms in this setting? Explain why or why not.

Part (b). Compare the distributions of number of quarters until breaking for the two paper towel brands

Going up? As of 2015, there were over 75,000 elevators in New York City. The frequency table summarizes data on the number of elevators of each type.

(a) Identify the individuals in this data set.

(b) Make a frequency bar graph to display the data. Describe what you see.

Coaster craze Many people like to ride roller coasters. Amusement parks try to increase attendance by building exciting new coasters. The following table displays data on several roller coasters that were opened in a recent year.

(a) Identify the individuals in this data set.

(b) What are the variables? Classify each as categorical or quantitative.

Country music The lengths, in minutes, of the 50 most popular mp3 downloads of songs by country artist Dierks Bentley are given here.

Make a histogram to display the data. Write a few sentences describing the distribution of song lengths.

Carbon dioxide emissions Burning fuels in power plants and motor vehicles emits carbon dioxide (CO2 ), which contributes to global warming. The table displays CO2 emissions per person from countries with populations of at least 20 million. 30

Part (a). Make a histogram of the data using intervals of width 2, starting at 0.
