Concept explainers
(a)
To find: The histogram for the given data set and the shape of each of the distribution.
(a)
Answer to Problem 8PPS
The graph of Figure 3 shows that the distribution majority is on the left and there is tail on the left so the distribution is negatively skewed.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The data set for the Yorkshire thousand of dollar is
The data set for the junior years score is
Calculation:
Use the graphing calculator.
Press STAT and select edit option and enter the values of the table as shown in Figure 1
Figure 1
Press 2nd and y= and select option 1 on the plot 1 as shown in Figure 2
Figure 2
Press graph key to trace the graph as shown in Figure 3
Figure 3
The figure 3 shows that the majority on the left and there is tail on the left so the distribution is negatively skewed.
(b)
To find: The centre and the spread of the data using either the mean and standard deviation of the five number summary to justify the choice.
(b)
Answer to Problem 8PPS
The mean of the first model is 67, the standard deviation of the model is 12.34 and the median is 63.5. The mean of the second model is 59, the standard deviation of the model is 11 and the median is 60.
Explanation of Solution
Press the Stat and select CLAC option and select 1 VAR stats and press enter as shown in Figure 4
Figure 4
Press enter to obtain the values as shown in Figure 5
Figure 5
From above the mean of the first model is 67
The standard deviation of the first model is 12.34.
From above the mean of the second model is 59
The standard deviation of the second model is 11.
Press the arrow down of the display screen to find the display screen to find the median as shown in Figure 6
Figure 6
Thus, the median of the first model is 63.5.
Thus, the median of the second model is 60.
