(a)
Find the maximum numbers of employees per store.
Find the minimum numbers of employees per store.
(a)
Answer to Problem 1SR
The maximum numbers of employees per store is 105 employees.
The minimum numbers of employees per store is 79 employees.
Explanation of Solution
In the dotplot of number of employees for each of 142 Home Depot stores, the horizontal line represents ‘Number of employees’.
From dotplot, it can be observed that, the maximum or largest number of employees for one of the store is 105 employees. Also, the minimum or smallest number of employees for one of the store is 79 employees.
Hence, the maximum numbers of employees per store is 105 employees and the minimum numbers of employees per store is 79 employees.
(b)
Find the number of stores that employ 91 people.
(b)
Answer to Problem 1SR
The number of stores that employ 91 people is 15 stores.
Explanation of Solution
In the dotplot of number of employees, count the number of dots corresponding to 91 employees on the horizontal line. The number of dots corresponding to 91 employees is 15.
Hence, the number of stores that employ 91 people is 15 stores.
(c)
Identify around what values the number of employees per store tends to cluster.
(c)
Answer to Problem 1SR
The values around which the number of employees per store tends to cluster are 88 employees to 97 employees.
Explanation of Solution
From dotplot, it can be observed that, most of the stores have about 88 to 97 employees. The ‘number of employees for each store’ is clustered around the values 88 to 97, because approximately 75% of the stores are covered under this
Hence, the values around which the number of employees per store tends to cluster are 88 employees to 97 employees.

- 4.3) •VA report from Texas Transportation Institute (Texas A&M University System 2005) on Congestion Re- duction Strategies looked into the extra travel time (due to traffic congestion) for commute travel per traveler per year in hours for different urban areas. Below are the data for urban areas that had a population of over 3 million for the year 2002. Extra Hours per Traveler per Year Urban Area Los Angeles San Francisco 98 75 Washington DC Atlanta 66 64 Houston 65 Dallas, Fort Worth Chicago Detroit 61 55 54 Miami 48 Boston 53 New York 50 Phoenix 49 Philadelphia 40 4. Compute the mean and median values for extra travel hours. Based on the values of the mean and median, is the distribution of extra travel hours likely to be approximately symmetric, positively skewed, or negatively skewed?arrow_forwardThe data in the table represent the number of licensed drivers in various age groups and the number of fatal accidents within the age group by gender.

The data is plotted with urban air pollution levels on the horizontal axis and rural air pollution levels on the vertical axis. Nevada is an outlier in the ?x‑direction. What must be true about this state? The urban air pollution levels for this state are much higher or lower than the rest of the states in the data set. The rural air pollution levels for this state are much higher or much lower than the rest of the states in the data set. This state is an influential observation. The rural air pollution levels for this state are much higher or lower than other states in the data set that have similar urban air pollution levels. The absolute value of the residual of this state is large.arrow_forward
