4. A research survey of about 13,900 incoming freshmen in American universities and colleges found that the amount of time a student spends drinking alcohol is a strong predictor of that student's GPA, with a negative association between the two. In making a scatterplot of the data, we should (a) plot GPA on the horizontal axis. (b) plot time spent drinking alcohol on the horizontal axis. (c) first determine if there are outliers in the data. (d) use a plotting scale that makes the overall trend roughly linear.

(6) A student surveys some students on campus in the evening and finds that 16 out of 20 of the students she interviewed are part time students. She uses the data to estimate the percentage of all students who are part time. What type of bias is present in her sample?
Students in a statistics class were asked, “About how many minutes do you typically exercise in aweek?” Responses from the men in the class were “180, 300, 60, 480, 0, 90, 300, 14, 600, 360, 120, 0,240”(a) Create a five-number summary of the men’s responses.(b) Identify any potential outliers.
15. Commercial real estate prices and rental rates suffered substantial declines in 2008 and 2009 (Newsweek, July 27, 2009). These declines were particularly severe in AsiaB annual lease rates in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore declined by 40% or more. Even with such large declines, annual lease rates in Asia were still higher than those in many cities in Europe. Annual lease rates for a sample of 30 commercial properties in Hong Kong showed a mean of $1,114 per square meter with a standard deviation of $230.
2. The correlation between the price indices of animal feeding-stuffs and home-grown cats in a sample of 60 members is 0.68. Could the observed value have arisen: (a) from an uncorrelated population? (b) from a population in which true correlation was 0-8?
Is the correlation about 0.02, 0.22, or 0.92 with the outlier? Without this outlier, is the correlation about 0.18, 0.78, or 0.98? Is the outlier is an influential point to the correlation?
10. Describe the pattern of data that is observed when there is a strong negative correlation between X and Y.
In running a Pearson correlation, you notice that there are a few outliers. Please describe the next course of action, if any, for the dataset and explain your reasoning.
What effect does an outlier have on a correlation coefficient? Would it increase, decrease or stay the same?

1. The box and whisker plot shows the ages of people at a restaurant. 6 5 13 21 33 42 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 Part A: What percent of people are younger than 33 years old? Part B: The following data points are added to the data set. (6, 21, 45, 60). Which of the data points would be an outlier?
For a box plot, here are 4 values at the low end of a dataset and 4 values near the high end of a set of dataset: 18, 18, 18, 18 ... 23, 23, 25, 25, ... If the lower fence or boundary for outlier determination is 16 and the upper fence or boundary is 24, what value would you connect the whisker to on the high side of the "box?"
The picture is attached. If it is not clear, the shaded region of the graph represents 5%. Thanks in advance.
