a.
Check whether there is a guaranteed amount of water the farmers, ranchers, and cities will get from the Yellowstone River each year.
a.
Answer to Problem 9CRP
No, there is no guaranteed amount of water the farmers, ranchers, and cities get from the Yellowstone River each year.
Explanation of Solution
The important source of water for wildlife, rancher, farmers, and cities downstream is Yellowstone River. The data show that the annual flow for recent 19 years of the Yellowstone River, which does not show any guarantee that they give water for each year.
The annual flows are random variables. Hence, there is no guaranteed amount of water the farmers, ranchers, and cities will get from the Yellowstone River each year.

Answer to Problem 9CRP
The five-number summary of the annual water flow is 17.5, 23.7, 25.9, 31.8, and 45.1.
The box-and-whisker plot is shown below:
The middle portion of the data lies between 23.7 and 31.8.
The value of interquartile range is 8.1.
The value 45.1 is an outlier.
Explanation of Solution
Step-by-step procedure to obtain the five-number summary of the annual water flow using MINITAB software:
- Choose Stat > Basic Statistics > Display Descriptive Statistics.
- In Variables enter the columns Annual flow.
- Check Options, Select Minimum, Maximum, first
quartile , Median, third quartile and IQR. - Click OK in all dialogue boxes.
The output obtained using the MINITAB software is given below:
From the MINITAB output, the five-number summary of annual water flow is 17.5, 23.7, 25.9, 31.8, and 45.1.
Step-by-step procedure to draw the box-and-whisker plot using the MINITAB software:
- Choose Graph > Boxplot or Stat > EDA > Boxplot.
- Under One Y, choose Simple. Click OK.
- In Graph variables, enter the data of Annual flow.
- Click OK in all dialogue boxes.
Interpretation:
From the box-and-whisker plot, it is observed that the distribution of the annual water flow is skewed to the right.
From the output, it is observed that the middle portion of the data lies between 23.7 and 31.8.
From the MINITAB output, the value of interquartile range is 8.1.
From the box-and-whisker plot, it is observed that the value 45.1 is an outlier.
f.
Check whether the Madison is more reliable using the coefficient of variation.
f.
Explanation of Solution
Step-by-step procedure to obtain the coefficient of variation using the MINITAB software:
- Choose Stat > Basic Statistics > Display Descriptive Statistics.
- In Variables enter the columns Yellowstone and Madison.
- Check Options, Select coefficient of variation.
- Click OK in all dialogue boxes.
The output obtained using the MINITAB software is given below:
From the MINITAB output, the coefficient of variation for the annual water flow of Yellowstone is 24.43, and the coefficient of variation for the annual water flow of Madison is 16.6.
From the result, it is observed that the coefficient of variation for the water flow of Madison is smaller when compared to the coefficient of variation for the annual water flow of Yellowstone. This indicates that the spread of river flow is smaller for Madison river. Hence, the Madison flower is more consistent.
g.
Check whether it is safe to allocate at least 27 units of Yellowstone River water each year for agricultural and domestic use.
g.
Explanation of Solution
From the results, it is observed that the median water flow of Yellowstone River is 25.9, which indicates that more than half of the river flows are below 27 units.
Hence, it is not safe to allocate at least 27 units of Yellowstone River water each year for agricultural and domestic use.

Inflation is hitting everything else, so why not the humble nugget too, right? But your sibling thinks you’re just being dramatic—maybe you’re just extra hungry today. Determined to prove them wrong, you take matters (and nuggets) into your own hands. You march into McDonald’s, get two 20-piece boxes, and head home like a scientist on a mission. Now, before you start weighing each nugget like they’re precious gold nuggets, let’s talk hypotheses. The average weight of nuggets as mentioned on the box is 16 g each. Develop your null and alternative hypotheses separately. Next, you weigh each nugget with the precision of a jeweler and find they average out to 15.5 grams. You also conduct a statistical analysis, and the p-value turns out to be 0.01. Based on this information, answer the following questions. (Remember,…arrow_forward
