Chapter 15, Problem 53E

For Exercises 51 through 54, you should use the following definition of an outlier: An outlier is any data value that is above the third quartile by more than 1.5 times the IQR [Outlier> Q 3 + l.5(IQR)] or below the first quartile by more than 1.5 times the IQR [Outlier < Q 1 1.5 (IQR)]. (Note: There is no one universally agreed upon definition of an outlier; this is but one of several definitions used by statisticians.)

The distribution of the heights (in inches) of 18-year-old U.S. males has first quartile Q 1 = 67 in. and third quartile Q 3 = 71 in. Using the preceding definition, determine which heights correspond to outliers.

Give an example of a graph with at least 3 vertices that has exactly 2 automorphisms(one of which is necessarily the identity automorphism). Prove that your example iscorrect.
3. [10 marks] Let Go (Vo, Eo) and G₁ = (V1, E1) be two graphs that ⚫ have at least 2 vertices each, ⚫are disjoint (i.e., Von V₁ = 0), ⚫ and are both Eulerian. Consider connecting Go and G₁ by adding a set of new edges F, where each new edge has one end in Vo and the other end in V₁. (a) Is it possible to add a set of edges F of the form (x, y) with x € Vo and y = V₁ so that the resulting graph (VUV₁, Eo UE₁ UF) is Eulerian? (b) If so, what is the size of the smallest possible F? Prove that your answers are correct.
Let T be a tree. Prove that if T has a vertex of degree k, then T has at least k leaves.
