Answer to Problem 1.1SR

The table that shows the simple index of all countries is given below:

    CountryAmount (millions of tons)Index
    China831.71026.790123
    Japan104.7129.2592593
    US81100
    India101.5125.308642
    Russia71.588.27160494

China produces approximately 26.79% more metal than country U.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

    CountryAmount (millions of tons)
    China831.7
    Japan104.7
    US81
    India101.5
    Russia71.5

Formula used:

The simple index for the period t

with the base period 0 is calculated as:

  P=ptp0×100

Where pt is the price of period t and P0 is the price of period 0. The index for the base period is 100.

Calculation:

The base is country U and the amount for country U is 81 million tons, that is, p0=81. For country C, the simple index is calculated as:

  IndexChina=831.781×100=1026.790123

The table that shows the simple index of all periods is given below:

    CountryAmount (millions of tons)Index
    China831.7831.781×100=1026.790123
    Japan104.7129.2592593
    US81100
    India101.5125.308642
    Russia71.588.27160494

The index for country C is 1026.790123. Hence, country C produces approximately 26.79% more metal than country U.

Examine the Variables: Carefully review and note the names of all variables in the dataset. Examples of these variables include: Mileage (mpg) Number of Cylinders (cyl) Displacement (disp) Horsepower (hp) Research: Google to understand these variables. Statistical Analysis: Select mpg variable, and perform the following statistical tests. Once you are done with these tests using mpg variable, repeat the same with hp Mean Median First Quartile (Q1) Second Quartile (Q2) Third Quartile (Q3) Fourth Quartile (Q4) 10th Percentile 70th Percentile Skewness Kurtosis Document Your Results: In RStudio: Before running each statistical test, provide a heading in the format shown at the bottom. “# Mean of mileage – Your name’s command” In Microsoft Word: Once you've completed all tests, take a screenshot of your results in RStudio and paste it into a Microsoft Word document. Make sure that snapshots are very clear. You will need multiple snapshots. Also transfer these results to the…
