Textbook Question

Chapter 13.2, Problem 17BSC

Appendix B Data Sets. In Exercises 13-16, refer to the indicated data set in Appendix B and use the sign test for the claim about the median of a population.

15. Testing for Median Weight of Quarters Refer to Data Set 29 “Coin Weights” in Appendix B for the weights (g) of randomly selected quarters that were minted after 1964. The quarters are supposed to have a median weight of 5.670 g. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the median is equal to 5.670 g. Do quarters appear to be minted according to specifications?

Definition Definition Middle value of a data set. The median divides a data set into two halves, and it also called the 50th percentile. The median is much less affected by outliers and skewed data than the mean. If the number of elements in a dataset is odd, then the middlemost element of the data arranged in ascending or descending order is the median. If the number of elements in the dataset is even, the average of the two central elements of the arranged data is the median of the set. For example, if a dataset has five items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31—the median is the third item in ascending order, or 21. If a dataset has six items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31, 33—the median is the average of the third (21) and fourth (27) items. It is calculated as follows: (21 + 27) / 2 = 24.
