The stem has been split to get a better picture of the distribution. It has gives two clear peaks at 2 and 3. Splitting of stem gives the better view or shape to the distribution.
(b)
To give: an appropriate key for this graph.
(b)
Answer to Problem 46E
2|4 means that 24 milligrams of caffeine content in 8-ounce can of carbonated beverage
Explanation of Solution
Key: 2|4 means that 24 milligrams of caffeine content in 8-ounce can of carbonated beverage.
(c)
To describe:the shape, center, and spread of the distribution and compare the caffeine content
(c)
Answer to Problem 46E
Shape:skewed to the right
Center: 28mg of caffeine per 8-ounce serving.
Spread: 15 mg to 47 mg of caffeine per 8-ounce serving.
Outliers: none
Explanation of Solution
Shape: the distribution is skewed to the right, because most of the data values lies near the top of the stemplot.
Center: the center of the distribution can be represented as the
Spread: the smallest value is 15 mg and the largest value is 47 mg. thus, the spread will be from 15 mg to 47 mg of caffeine per 8-ounce serving.
Outliers: there do not appear to be any outliers, because there are no gaps in the stemplot (there are no stems without leaves).

- A well-known company predominantly makes flat pack furniture for students. Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected. a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected. b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected? c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion. Calculate the maximum acceptable standard deviation of the new process.arrow_forward5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6).
