Here are the weights (in milligrams) of 58 diamonds from a nodule

carried up to the earth’s surface in surrounding rock. These data represent a population of diamonds formed in a single event deep in the earth.

Make a histogram to display the distribution of weight. Describe the distribution.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distribution is skewed to right, spread from 0 to 35 with center at 2.5 and without outliers.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Data illustrating the population of diamonds generated in a single deep-earth event:

02

Calculation

Frequency table:

Calculate the frequency of each interval, which is the number of data values that fall within it.

The first value of the first interval is 0 having a width of 5

Thus,

The first interval is 0−<5

The interval follows

5−<10,10−<15 etc.

The intervals will be established until all of the data values are assigned to exactly one interval.

Frequency Histogram:

Interval bounds must be used to define the bars, and each bar's width must be the same.

Whereas, the height needs to be equal to the frequency.

Spread: In the data set, the weight appears to range from 0.1 to 33.8 and in the histogram, it appears to range from 0 to 35

Shape: The highest bars are on the left of the histogram, with a tail of smaller balls to the right. As a result, the shape will be slanted toward the right.

Outliers: There are no outliers because the histogram has no gaps.

Because it is in the middle of the highest bar, the distribution's center looks to be around 2.5

Stats teachers’ cars A random sample of AP® Statistics teachers were asked to

report the age (in years) and mileage of their primary vehicles. Here are a scatterplot, a residual plot, and other computer output:

a. Is a linear model appropriate for these data? Explain how you know this.

b. What’s the correlation between car age and mileage? Interpret this value in context.

c. Give the equation of the least-squares regression line for these data. Identify any variables you use.

d. One teacher reported that her 6-year-old car had 65,000 miles on it. Find and interpret its residual.

e. Interpret the values of s and r2.

Calculating achievement a study found a strong link between the number of calculators possessed by high school pupils and their arithmetic proficiency, according to the principle of a high school. Based on this study, he decides to buy each student at his school two calculators, hoping to improve their math achievement. Explain the flaw in the principal’s reasoning.

More Starbucks How do the nutritional characteristics of food products differ from drink products at Starbucks? The scatterplot shown here enhances the scatterplot from Exercise 6 by plotting the food products with blue squares. How are the relationships between fat and calories the same for the two types of products? How are the relationships different?

Driving speed and fuel consumption Exercise 9 (page 171) gives data on the fuel consumption y of a car at various speeds x. Fuel consumption is measured in liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers driven, and speed is measured in kilometers per hour. A statistical software package gives the least-squares regression line y^=11.058–0.01466x. Use the residual plot to determine if this linear model is appropriate.

The scatterplot shows reading test scores against IQ test scores for 14 fifth-grade children. There is one low outlier in the plot. What effect does this low outlier have on the correlation?

a. It makes the correlation closer to 1.

b. It makes the correlation closer to 0 but still positive.

c. It makes the correlation equal to 0.

d. It makes the correlation negative.

e. It has no effect on the correlation.
