Chapter 2: Q R2.2. (page 147)

Computer use Mrs. Causey asked her students how much time they had spent

watching television during the previous week. The figure shows a cumulative relative frequency graph of her students鈥� responses.

a. At what percentile is a student who watched TV for 7 hours last week?

b. Estimate from the graph the interquartile range (IQR) for time spent watching TV.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) The percentile is 57

Part (b) The value is 9.00

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

The plot is:

02

Part (a) Step 2: Concept

The percentile of an individual is the percentage of the distribution that is less than the data value of the individual.

03

Part (a) Step 3: Explanation

The student will spend 7 hours per week, according to the information provided. Construct a vertical line that cuts the x-axis at 19.50 to obtain the percentile. Create a horizontal line to connect the vertical and horizontal lines. Both lines overlap at the 57th percentile, as can be seen.

Thus, the required percentile is 57

04

Part (b) Step 1: Calculation

The third quartile and first quartile, according to the plot, are 11 and 2 respectively.

Thus, the interquartile range is:

IQR=Q3鈭�Q1=11鈭�2=9.00

Thus, the required value is 9.00

Run fast! As part of a student project, high school students were asked to

sprint 50 yards and their times (in seconds) were recorded. A cumulative relative frequency graph of the sprint times is shown here.

a. One student ran the 50 yards in 8 seconds. Is a sprint time of 8 seconds unusually slow?

b. Estimate and interpret the 20th percentile of the distribution.

Step right up! Refer to Exercise 22 Suppose that the distances from the tops of the students鈥� heads to the ground are converted from inches to feet (note that 12in.=1ft).

a. What shape would the resulting distribution have? Explain your answer.

b. Find the mean of the distribution of distance in feet.

c. Find the standard deviation of the distribution of distance in feet.

Long jump A member of a track team was practicing the long jump and

recorded the distances (in centimeters) shown in the dot plot. Some numerical summaries of the data are also provided.

After chatting with a teammate, the jumper realized that he measured his jumps from the back of the board instead of the front. Thus, he had to subtract 20 centimeters from each of his jumps to get the correct measurement for each jump.

a. What shape would the distribution of corrected long jump distance have?

b. Find the mean and median of the distribution of corrected long-jump distance.

c. Find the standard deviation and interquartile range (IQR) of the distribution of corrected long-jump distance.

Foreign-born residents Refer to Exercise 11 Here are summary statistics for

the percent of foreign-born residents in the 50 states:

a. Find and interpret the z-score for Montana, which had 1.9% foreign-born residents.

b. New York had a standardized score of 2.10 Find the percent of foreign-born residents in New York at that time.

.Flight times An airline flies the same route at the same time each day. The flight time varies according to a Normal distribution with unknown mean and standard deviation. On 15%of days, the flight takes more than an hour. On localid="1649758011998" 3%of days, the flight lasts localid="1649758017692" 75minutes or more. Use this information to determine the mean and standard deviation of the flight time distribution
