Pass the popcorn: Following are the running times (in minutes) for the top 15 grossing movies of all time rated PG-13, and the top 15 grossing movies of all time rated R.
- Construct back-to-back stem-and-leaf plots for these data sets.
- Do the running times of R-rated movies differ greatly from the running times of movies rated PG or PG-13: or are they roughly similar?
a.
To construct: A back-to-back slit stem-and-leaf plot for the data set.

Definition used: Stem plot is a tool to visualize the shape of a distribution.
Calculation:
The back-to-back slit stem-and-leaf plot for the data set is given by
In the above back-to-back slit stem-and-leaf plot, Leaf 1 displays the lengths of time of the PG-13 movies and Leaf 2 does so for the R rated movies.
b.
To explain: Whether the running times of R-rated movies differ greatly from the running times of movies rated PG or PG-13, or they roughly similar.

The back-to-back slit stem-and-leaf plot for the data set is given by
From the above back-to-back slit stem-and-leaf plot, the R-rated movies tend to be shorter.
Therefore, they differ greatly.

- 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).
