Chapter 2: Q T2.3. (page 149)

Rainwater was collected in water containers at 30different sites near an industrial complex, and the amount of acidity (pH level) was measured. The mean and standard deviation of the values are 4.60and 1.10,respectively. When the pH meter was recalibrated back at the laboratory, it was found to be in error. The error can be corrected by adding 0.1 pH unit to all of the values and then multiplying the result by 1.2What are the mean and standard deviation of the corrected pH measurements?

a.5.64,1.44b.5.64,1.32c.5.40,1.44d.5.40,1.32e.5.64,1.20

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (b)5.64,1.32

Step by step solution

01

Given information

渭x=4.60蟽x=1.10

02

Concept

Properties of mean and standard deviation

渭aX+b=a渭X+b蟽aX+b=a蟽X

03

Calculation

Adding 0.1 to every value and then multiplying this by 1.2

1.2(x+0.1)=1.2x+0.12渭1.2X+0.12=1.2(4.60)+0.12=5.64蟽1.2X+0.12=1.2(1.10)=1.32

Hence, the correct option is (b)

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.

Used cars, cheap! A used-car salesman has 28 cars in his inventory, with prices ranging from \(11,500 to \)25,000. For a Labor Day sale, he reduces the price of each car by $500. What effect will this reduction have on each of the following characteristics of the resulting distribution of price?

a. Shape

b. Mean and median

c. Standard deviation and interquartile range (IQR)
