a)
To plot: The histogram of the data of the number of tornadoes recorded in the U.S. in 2008 monthly.
The histogram of the given data is shown below
Given:The given data of the number of tornadoes recorded in each month in the U.S. in year 2008.
Month | No. of tornadoes |
1 | 84 |
2 | 147 |
3 | 129 |
4 | 189 |
5 | 461 |
6 | 294 |
7 | 93 |
8 | 101 |
9 | 111 |
10 | 21 |
11 | 20 |
12 | 40 |
Plot:
The data is entered in excel in two columns. Select the data and insert a column chart and get a graph. Now right-click on the graph and click on format data series and change the gap width accordingly and also name the labels to get the following graph.
b)
To explain: The histogram for the data of the number of tornadoes recorded monthly is distributed normally or not.
The data of the number of tornadoes recorded monthly in the U.S. in 2008 cannot be approximated as a normal curve.
Plot:Drawing a normal sketch over the histogram looks like this as shown below
Interpretation:
The data has a tail to its right side and is skewed to the right slightly. Thus the data of the number of tornadoes cannot be approximated as a normal curve.
c)
To explain: Whether it is appropriate to use a normal curve to estimate the percentages of tornadoes during specific months of the year.
It is not appropriate to use a normal curve to estimate the percentages of tornadoes that occurred during a month.
Given:
The histogram of the data of the number of tornadoes that occurred during each month of the year is skewed to the right.
Interpretation:
The histogram of the data of the number of tornadoes that occurred during each month of the year is skewed to the right. Thus a normal curve cannot be used to estimate the percentages of tornadoes that occurred in specific months of the year.

- Compare the interest earned from #1 (where simple interest was used) to #5 (where compound interest was used). The principal, annual interest rate, and time were all the same; the only difference was that for #5, interest was compounded quarterly. Does the difference in interest earned make sense? Select one of the following statements. a. No, because more money should have been earned through simple interest than compound interest. b. Yes, because more money was earned through simple interest. For simple interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal. c. No, because more money was earned through simple interest. For simple interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal. d. Yes, because more money was earned when compounded quarterly. For compound interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal.arrow_forwardCompare and contrast the simple and compound interest formulas. Which one of the following statements is correct? a. Simple interest and compound interest formulas both yield principal plus interest, so you must subtract the principal to get the amount of interest. b. Simple interest formula yields principal plus interest, so you must subtract the principal to get the amount of interest; Compound interest formula yields only interest, which you must add to the principal to get the final amount. c. Simple interest formula yields only interest, which you must add to the principal to get the final amount; Compound interest formula yields principal plus interest, so you must subtract the principal to get the amount of interest. d. Simple interest and compound interest formulas both yield only interest, which you must add to the principal to get the final amount.arrow_forwardSara would like to go on a vacation in 5 years and she expects her total costs to be $3000.

Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice. ○ A. No, b is not in {a₁, a2, 3} since it cannot be generated by a linear combination of a₁, a2, and a3. B. No, b is not in (a1, a2, a3} since b is not equal to a₁, a2, or a3. C. Yes, b is in (a1, a2, a3} since b = a (Type a whole number.) D. Yes, b is in (a1, a2, 3} since, although b is not equal to a₁, a2, or a3, it can be expressed as a linear combination of them.
