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.

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

The following bar graph shows the distribution of favorite subject for a sample of 1000 students. What is the most serious problem with the graph?

(a) The subjects are not listed in the correct order.

(b) This distribution should be displayed with a pie chart.

(c) The vertical axis should show the percent of students.

(d) The vertical axis should start at 0 rather than 100.

(e) The foreign language bar should be broken up by language.

Paying for championships Does paying high salaries lead to more victories in professional sports? The New York Yankees have long been known for having Major League Baseball鈥檚 highest team payroll. And over the years, the team has won many championships. This strategy didn鈥檛 pay off in 2008, when the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series. Maybe the Yankees didn鈥檛 spend enough money that year. The figure shows histograms of the salary distributions for the two teams during the 2008 season. Why can鈥檛 you use these graphs to effectively compare the team payrolls?
