a.
To describe what the graph reveals about the relationship between age group and use of smartphones for navigation.
a.
Answer to Problem 35E
The age group that is most likely to use smartphone for navigation are the 18 to 29 year olds.
The age group that is least likely to use smartphone for navigation are the 65+ year olds.
The majority of the 18 to 64 year olds appear to use smartphones for navigation.
The majority of the 65+ year olds appear to not use smartphones for navigation.
Explanation of Solution
Given the bar graph below that displays data on the percentage of smartphone owners in several age groups who say that they use their phone for turn-by-turn navigation.
The age group that is most likely to use smartphone for navigation are the 18 to 29 year olds, because the highest bar in the bar graph corresponds to the category "18-29".
The age group that is least likely to use smartphone for navigation are the 65+ year olds, because the lowest bar in the bar graph corresponds to the category "65+".
The majority of the 18 to 64 year olds appear to use smartphones for navigation, because each of the bars corresponding to these categories have a height of at least 50.
The majority of the 65+ year olds appear to not use smartphones for navigation, because the bar corresponding to this age category has a height that is less than 50.
b.
To find out and explain would it be appropriate to make a pie chart of the data given.
b.
Answer to Problem 35E
Not appropriate to make a pie chart of the data given.
Explanation of Solution
In the bar graph, we note that approximately 80% of the 18-29 year olds, 72% of the 30-49 year olds, 51% of the 50-64 year olds and 37 % of the 65+ year old use smartphones for navigation.
If we would then add all these percentages, then we would obtain more than 100% and thus it won't be appropriate to construct a pie chart.
Moreover, you can also notice that a pie chart is not appropriate due to the different bars not representing a part of the same whole (as each age category is considered separately).

You will use a single test car, adding weights so that its total weight is 3000, 3500, or 4000 pounds. The car will drive on a test track at each weight using each of Amoco, Marathon, and Speedway gasoline. Which is the best way to organize the study? Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then do 3500 and 4000 pounds. Change to Marathon and go through the three weights in order. Then change to Speedway and do the three weights in order once more. Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then change to Marathon and then to Speedway without changing the weight. Then add weights to get 3500 pounds and go through the three gasolines in the same order.Then change to 4000 pounds and do the three gasolines in order again. Choose a gasoline at random, and run the car with this gasoline at…arrow_forwardAP1.2 A child is 40 inches tall, which places her at the 90th percentile of all children of similar age. The heights for children of this age form an approximately Normal distribution with a mean of 38 inches. Based on this information, what is the standard deviation of the heights of all children of this age? 0.20 inches (c) 0.65 inches (e) 1.56 inches 0.31 inches (d) 1.21 inchesarrow_forward
- AP1.1 You look at real estate ads for houses in Sarasota, Florida. Many houses range from $200,000 to $400,000 in price. The few houses on the water, however, have prices up to $15 million. Which of the following statements best describes the distribution of home prices in Sarasota? The distribution is most likely skewed to the left, and the mean is greater than the median. The distribution is most likely skewed to the left, and the mean is less than the median. The distribution is roughly symmetric with a few high outliers, and the mean is approximately equal to the median. The distribution is most likely skewed to the right, and the mean is greater than the median. The distribution is most likely skewed to the right, and the mean is less than the median.arrow_forwardDuring busy political seasons, many opinion polls are conducted.
