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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Rightward skewed

Two possible outliers

The median time is approximately 3.75 minutes.

The song lengths appear to range between 29 and 7 minutes.

Step by step solution

01

Given information. 

02

Step 2. Create a histogram to represent the data.

Table of frequencies

First, we'll calculate the frequency of each interval, which is the number of data values that fall within each interval. The first interval is 2.5-<3 because it begins at 2.5 and has a width of 0.5. The next intervals will be 3-<3.5, 3.5-<4, and so on until all data values are assigned to exactly one interval.

The frequency is then defined as the number of data values that belong to the class.

Histogram of Frequency

Each bar must have the same width and be bounded by the interval boundaries, while the height must be equal to the frequency.

Because the highest bars are to the left in the histogram, with a tail of smaller bars to the right, the distribution is skewed to the right.

Because there are two bars (with frequency 1) that are separated from the rest of the histogram by a gap, the distribution appears to have two outliers.

The median is the value in the middle of the distribution. The median length of the songs appears to be around 3.75 minutes (which is the middle of the highest bar).

The song lengths appear to range between 2.9 and 7 minutes.

As a results:

Rightward skewed

Two possible outliers

The median time is approximately 3.75 minutes.

The song lengths appear to range between 29 and 7 minutes.

Python eggs How is the hatching of water python eggs influenced by the temperature of the snake’s nest? Researchers randomly assigned newly laid eggs to one of three water temperatures: hot, neutral, or cold. Hot duplicates the extra warmth provided by the mother python, and cold duplicates the absence of the mother. The two-way table summarizes the data on whether or not the eggs hatched.

(a) What percent of eggs were randomly assigned to hot water?

(b) What proportion of eggs in the study hatched?

(c) What percent of eggs in the study were randomly assigned to cold or neutral water and hatched?

The histogram shows the distribution of the percent of women aged 15 and over who have never married in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Which of the following statements about the histogram is correct?

a. The center (median) of the distribution is about 36%.

b. There are more states with percentages above 32 than there are states with percentages less than 24.

c. It would be better if the values from 34 to 50 were deleted on the horizontal axis so there wouldn’t be a large gap.

d. There was one state with a value of exactly 33%.

e. About half of the states had percentages between 24% and 28%.

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.

Who goes to movies?The bar graph displays data on the percent of people in several age groups who attended a movie in the past 12 months.

(a) Describe what the graph reveals about the relationship between age group and movie attendance.

(b) Would it be appropriate to make a pie chart of the data? Explain.

Who buys cars? A car dealer keeps records on car buyers for future marketing purposes. The table gives information on the last 4 buyers.
