To find: The Inter
(a)
Answer to Problem 63E
Solution: The Inter
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: The Inter Quartile Range
Step 1: Enter the provided data in a Minitab worksheet.
Step 2: Go to Stat and select basic statistics.
Step 3: Then select Display
Step 4: Next click on Statistics tab and tick mark the option against interquartile range and click on OK twice to get the results.
From the Minitab output the Inter Quartile Range
Interpretation: The Inter Quartile Range
(b)
To find: The outliers using
(b)
Answer to Problem 63E
Solution: The value of outliers in the provided data is 428 of London. Any value above 236.5 or below –35.5 would be considered outliers as they are upper whisker and lower whisker, respectively.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: To obtain the value of first and third quartile, follow the steps given below in Minitab,
Step 1: Enter the data in a Minitab worksheet.
Step 2: Go to Stat and select basic statistics.
Step 3: Then select Display Descriptive Statistics. Enter the name of the column containing the provided data in the variables textbox.
Step 4: Then click on Statistics tab and tick mark the option against first quartile and third quartile and click on OK twice.
The value of
The formula for upper whisker is,
where
The formula for lower whisker is,
where
Upper whisker of boxplot is found to be 236.5, so any values above 236.5 would be considered outliers and from data provided, value of 428 of London is outlier. There is no value below lower whisker.
Interpretation: Outliers refers to those data points that lie either above upper whisker and below lower whisker in boxplot. There was one outlier found in this data, and it is 428 of London.
(c)
To graph: A boxplot of the provided data and describe the distribution using it.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
Graph: Plot the boxplot in Minitab by performing the following steps,
Step 1: Enter the data into a Minitab worksheet.
Step 2: Go to ‘Graph’ and click on ‘Boxplot’.
Step 3: In the dialogue box that appears select ‘Simple’ and click OK.
Step 4: Next enter the name of the column containing the data in the filed marked as ‘Graph variables’ and click on OK.
The boxplot is obtained as shown below,
Interpretation: The boxplot is generally preferred to describe dataset having unsymmetrical distribution. The boxplot shows First quartile,
(d)
To graph: A modified boxplot and describes the distribution using it.
(d)
Explanation of Solution
Graph: Plot the modified boxplot in Minitab by performing the following steps,
Step 1: Enter the data into a Minitab worksheet.
Step 2: Go to ‘Graph’ and click on ‘Boxplot’.
Step 3: In the dialogue box that appears select ‘Simple’ and click OK.
Step 4: Next enter the name of the column containing the data in the filed marked as ‘Graph variables’ and click on OK.
The boxplot is obtained as shown below,
Interpretation: The modified boxplot is used to display data graphically when the distribution of data is unsymmetrical and skewed as it can clearly show outliers. In the modified boxplot it was found there is one data value which is upper outlier. This outlier is London. The modified boxplot does not display the outlier as a part of the whisker but marks the outlier away.
(e)
To graph: A stemplot of the provided data.
(e)
Explanation of Solution
Graph: Follow the steps given below to obtain the stemplot:
Step 1: Enter the data of sales in a Minitab worksheet.
Step 2: Go to Graph and select stem and leaves.
Step 3: Enter the name of the column containing the data in the Graph variables textbox and click OK.
The required stemplot is attached below,
Interpretation: The stemplot of data is generally drawn when size of data is small and all the data values are positive. It shows all the data values on stemplot. In the stemplot shown above there is one outliers which is London whose data values is 428. Also the data does not seem to be symmetrically distributed.
(f)
To find: The comparison of Boxplot, Modified boxplot, and stemplot and mention advantages and disadvantages of each.
(f)
Answer to Problem 63E
Solution: In boxplot, data is displayed based on five-number summary, which included Minimum, Maximum, first quartile, third quartile, and Median and displaying the outlier as part of the whisker. In Modified boxplot also data is displayed based on five-number summary, but it displays the outliers such that they are not connected to the whiskers. In stemplot, data values are arranged in stem consisting of all digits except right most and leaves contain final digit. Advantage of boxplots is that it is suitable for unsymmetrical data while advantage of stemplot is that it shows all numerical value of data on graph itself. Disadvantage of Boxplot is that it is not suitable for unsymmetrical data while disadvantage of stemplot is that it is used only for positive numbers only and if the data size is small.
Explanation of Solution
The comparison of Boxplot, Modified boxplot, and stemplot is shown below:

- The population mean and standard deviation are given below. Find the required probability and determine whether the given sample mean would be considered unusual. For a sample of n = 65, find the probability of a sample mean being greater than 225 if μ = 224 and σ = 3.5. For a sample of n = 65, the probability of a sample mean being greater than 225 if μ=224 and σ = 3.5 is 0.0102 (Round to four decimal places as needed.)arrow_forward***Please do not just simply copy and paste the other solution for this problem posted on bartleby as that solution does not have all of the parts completed for this problem.

- The following relates to Problems 4 and 5. Christchurch, New Zealand experienced a major earthquake on February 22, 2011. It destroyed 100,000 homes. Data were collected on a sample of 300 damaged homes. These data are saved in the file called CIEG315 Homework 4 data.xlsx, which is available on Canvas under Files. A subset of the data is shown in the accompanying table. Two of the variables are qualitative in nature: Wall construction and roof construction. Two of the variables are quantitative: (1) Peak ground acceleration (PGA), a measure of the intensity of ground shaking that the home experienced in the earthquake (in units of acceleration of gravity, g); (2) Damage, which indicates the amount of damage experienced in the earthquake in New Zealand dollars; and (3) Building value, the pre-earthquake value of the home in New Zealand dollars.

This has prompted me to consider whether we should introduce custom flower bouquets in our shop. We need to decide whether to start offering this new product. There are three options: provide a complete selection of custom bouquets for events like birthdays and anniversaries, start small with just a few ready-made flower arrangements, or do not add flowers. There are also three possible outcomes. First, we might see high demand, and the bouquets could sell quickly. Second, we might have medium demand, with a few sold each week. Third, there might be low demand, and the flowers may not sell well, possibly going to waste.
