Chapter 1 Problem Set A.P.Statistics

1) Here are the percent of 15-18 year olds that own the Device Percent who Own

Cell Phone 85%


following personal media devices, according to
the Kaiser Family Foundation: MP3 Player 83%
a) Make a well-labeled bar graph to display the
data. Handheld Video Game Player 41%
Describe what you see.
Laptop 38%
b) Would it be appropriate to make a pie chart for
these data? Why or why not? Portable CD/Tape Player 20%

2) A research study asked children which of four different emotions they associated
with the
color red. The response and gender of each child are given in the following table.

Joy Happines Love Anger


s
Male 28 20 40 18
Female 61 25 80 60

a) Use the data in the two-way table to calculate the marginal distribution (in percents) of emotions.
b) Make a graph to display the marginal distribution in (a) and describe what you see.
c) Use the data in the table to calculate the marginal distribution (in percent) of gender.
d) Use the data in the table to calculate the conditional distribution of gender for each emotion.
Construct a segmented bar graph to display this distribution.

3) Hallux abducto valgus (call it HAV) is a deformation of the big toe that is not
common among young people and often requires surgery. Doctors used X-rays to
measure the angle (in degrees) of deformity in 38 consecutive patients under the
age of 21 who came to a medical center for surgery to correct HAV. The higher the
angle measure the more severe the deformity. Here are the data.
13 14 16 16 17 18 18 20 20 20 21 21 21 21 22 23 25 25 25
25 6 26 26 26 28 28 28 30 30 30 31 32 32 32 34 38 38 50
a) Make a histogram of these data. Choose an appropriate bin width and scale, and
label each axis.
b) Write a brief discussion of the distribution of the angle of deformity among
young patients needing surgery for this condition .
4) The dotplots below show the total family income of randomly-chosen individuals
from Indiana (38 individuals) and New Jersey (44 individuals).

a) Write a few sentences comparing the distribution of total family incomes in these
two samples.
b) What measures would you use to describe the center and spread of the
distribution of total family incomes in Indiana? Justify your answer.

5) A student studying the sleeping habits of seniors at his school asked 34 randomly-
selected seniors how many hours of sleep they got the previous night. The data,
rounded to the nearest half-hour, is given in the table below.
8 7.5 9 7.5 9 6 5 9 7.5 7 8 7
6.5 8.5 8 6.5 8.5 6 7 7.5 7 6 8.5
7 8 7 7.5 7 6 7 8 7.5 6 7
a) Use your calculator to find the mean and standard deviation of these data.
b) Find the five number summary for these data and make a box plot.
c) Determine if there are any outliers in these data. Show your work.
d) Suppose 4 more values were added to the data, each exactly equal to the mean.
Would this have any
impact on the standard deviation? Explain, without using any calculations.

6) Below are dotplots of three different distributions, A, B, and C. Which one has the
largest standard deviation? Justify your answer.

7) Below are the lengths, in minutes, of the 25 most popular movies, as


voted on by visitors to a
web site devoted to movies.
142 195 201 139 106 175 96 121 130 109 200 133 102
178 165 161 124 146 115 118 154 152 207 112 136
a) Make a stemplot of these data.
b) The mean of this distribution is 144.7 and the median is 139. Explain
why you could have
predicted that the mean would be higher than the median by looking
at the stemplot.
8) The two-way table below shows the relationship between means of
transportation to work
and gender for a simple random sample of 250 working adults in the United
States.
Discuss the relationship between gender and means of transportation to work
for the working
adults in this sample. Provide appropriate marginal and conditional distributions
to support your
answer. You may choose whatever methods you want to present those
distributions.

Drive Alone Car Pool Public


Transportation
Male 113 16 6
Female 85 23 7

9) As a part of the United States Department of Agriculture’s Super Dump cleanup efforts in the early
1990s,
various sites in the country were targeted for cleanup. Three of the targeted sites—River X, River Y, and
River Z—had become contaminated with pesticides because they were located near abandoned pesticide
dump sites. Measurements of the concentration of aldrin (a commonly used pesticide) were taken at twenty
randomly selected locations in each river near the dump sites.
The boxplots shown below display the five-number summaries for the concentrations, in parts per million
(ppm) of aldrin, for the twenty locations that were sampled in each of the three rivers.

a) Compare the distributions of the


concentration of aldrin among the three
rivers.

b) The twenty concentrations of aldrin for


River X are given below.

3.4 4.0 5.6 3.7 8.0 5.5 5.3 4.2 4.3 7.3
8.6 5.1 8.7 4.6 7.5 5.3 8.2 4.7 4.8 4.6

Construct a stemplot that displays the


concentrations of aldrin for River X.

c) Describe a characteristic of the distribution of aldrin concentrations in River X that can be seen in the
stemplot but cannot be seen in the boxplot.

10) When asked for summary statistics, MINITAB produced the following output:

Variable N Mean SE Mean StDev Minimum Q1 Median Q3


Maximum
Damage 50 22.39 3.60 25.45 0.00 2.23 12.66
41.63 88.60
Give the five-number summary, and explain why you can see from these five
numbers that the
distribution is strongly skewed to the right.
