Chapter 11, Problem 11.50E

(a)

To determine

To make your own Normal quantile plot of the data in Group 3 for plots of forest that were logged 8 years earlier and first, sort and rank the data from smallest to largest, second, calculate z-scores for the adults and third, make a scatterplot of the number of trees per plot against their calculated z-scores.

Explanation of Solution

In the question, the data is given that described of the effects of logging on counts in the Borneo rainforest as:

    Group 3
    18
    4
    22
    15
    18
    19
    22
    12
    12

Thus, firstly we will sort the data from smallest to largest by using excel. That is first we will select the data and click the sort and filter option and then select ascending order. Thus, the result will be as:

    Group 3
    4
    12
    12
    15
    18
    18
    19
    22
    22

Now we will use the R programming to construct the Normal quantile plot and scatterplot by using the codes as:

  G=c(18,4,22,15,18,19,22,12,12)z=qnorm(((1:9)0.5)/9)library(plotly)data=data.frame("No_of_trees"=G,"Normal_scores"=z)figg=plot_ly(data=data,x=~Normal_scores,y=~No_of_trees)figgplot(x=z, y=G,col="red",xlab="Normal_scores",ylab="No_of_trees",main="Normal Quantile Plot")qqnorm(data$No_of_trees,pch=1, frame=FALSE)qqline(data$No_of_trees,col="blue",lwd=2)

And the plots are as:

  PRACT STAT W/ ACCESS 6MO LOOSELEAF, Chapter 11, Problem 11.50E , additional homework tip  1

The above plot is Normal quantile plot which shows the Normality of the data and in this we can see that the points are approximately in a straight line and increasing.

  PRACT STAT W/ ACCESS 6MO LOOSELEAF, Chapter 11, Problem 11.50E , additional homework tip  2

This is the scatterplot of the data which shows the increasing nature of the graph and it is also in a straight line.

To determine

To examine your Normal quantile plot for deviations from Normality and explain your conclusions.

Explanation of Solution

In the question, the data is given that described of the effects of logging on counts in the Borneo rainforest as:

    Group 3
    18
    4
    22
    15
    18
    19
    22
    12
    12

Thus, from the scatterplot in the part (a), we can say that if Normal scores increases the number of trees will also increase. The points seem to fail about a straight line and the x-axis plots the theoretical quantiles. Those are the quantiles from the standard Normal distribution with mean zero and standard deviation one. And also all the points are very close to the line constructed in the plot and so the data shows Normality.

Please help me with the following statistic question
To  evaluate  the  success  of  a  1-year  experimental  program  designed  to  increase  the  mathematical achievement of underprivileged high school seniors, a random sample of participants in the program will be selected and their mathematics scores will be compared with the previous year’s  statewide  average  of  525  for  underprivileged  seniors.  The  researchers  want  to  determine  whether the experimental program has increased the mean achievement level over the previous year’s statewide average. If alpha=.05, what sample size is needed to have a probability of Type II error of at most .025 if the actual mean is increased to 550? From previous results, sigma=80.
