Chapter 8: Q 60. (page 524)

More Oranges:The gardener in the previous exercise randomly selects 20

mandarin oranges from the tree and counts the number of seeds in each orange. Here are the data:

a. Graph the data using a dot plot.

b. Based on your graph, is it plausible that the number of seeds from oranges on this tree follows a distribution that is approximately Normal? Explain your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.

b. It can't be said that the number of seeds from oranges on this tree follows a distribution that is approximately normal.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The count of number of seeds of twenty oranges is given.

02

Dot Plot

Based on given data, dot plot is as below:

03

Deduction from Dot Plot Graph

It can be observed that data points are not falling in center. They lie in right tailed of plot.

Hence, we cannot say that number of seeds from oranges on this tree follows a distribution that is approximately normal.

Most popular questions from this chapter

A newspaper reporter asked an SRS of 100residents in a large city for their opinion about the mayor鈥檚 job performance. Using the results from the sample, the C%confidence interval for the proportion of all residents in the city who approve of the mayor鈥檚 job performance is 0.565to0.695. What is the value of C?

a. 82

b. 86

c. 90

d. 95

e. 99

Reporting cheating What proportion of students are willing to report cheating by other students? A student project put this question to an SRS of 172172undergraduates at a large university: 鈥淵ou witness two students cheating on a quiz. Do you go to the professor?鈥� Only 19answered 鈥淵es.鈥� Assume the conditions for inference are met.

a. Determine the critical valueZ*for a 96%confidence interval for a proportion.

b. Construct a 96%confidence interval for the proportion of all undergraduates at this university who would go to the professor.

c. Interpret the interval from part (b).

Gambling and the NCAA Gambling is an issue of great concern to those involved in college athletics. Because of this concern, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) surveyed randomly selected student athletes concerning their gambling-related behaviors. Of the 5594Division Imale athletes who responded to the survey, 3547reported participation in some gambling behavior. This includes playing cards, betting on games of skill, buying lottery tickets, betting on sports, and similar activities. A report of this study cited a 1%margin of error.

a. The confidence level was not stated in the report. Use what you have learned to

estimate the confidence level, assuming that the NCAA took an SRS.

b. The study was designed to protect the anonymity of the student athletes who responded. As a result, it was not possible to calculate the number of students who were asked to respond but did not. How does this fact affect the way that you interpret the results?

Engine parts A random sample of 16 of the more than 200auto engine crankshafts produced in one day was selected. Here are measurements (in millimeters) of a critical component on these crankshafts:

a. Construct and interpret a 95%confidence interval for the mean length of this component on all the crankshafts produced on that day.

b. The mean length is supposed to be 渭=224mm but can drift away from this target during production. Does your interval from part (a) suggest that the mean has drifted from 224mm? Explain your answer.

Estimating BMI The body mass index (BMI) of all American young

women is believed to follow a Normal distribution with a standard deviation of about 7.5. How large a sample would be needed to estimate the mean BMI 渭 in this population to within 卤1 with 99% confidence?
