Answer to Problem 7.59SE
The stem plot is,
No, there are no major departures from normality.
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The data shows the IQ test scores of 31 seventh-grade girls in a Midwest school district.
Calculation:
Stemplot:
Software procedure:
Step-by-step software procedure to draw stemplot using MINITAB software is as follows:
- Select Graph > Stem and leaf.
- Select the column of IQ Test Scores in Graph variables.
- Select OK.
The
A observation is a suspected outlier, if it is more than
The difference between the first
That is,
Software procedure:
Step-by-step software procedure for the first quartile and third quartile in MINITAB software is as follows:
- Choose Stat > Basic Statistics > Display
Descriptive Statistics . - In Variables enter the columns IQ Test Scores.
- Choose option statistics, and select first quartile, third quartile.
- Click OK.
Output using MINITAB software is as follows:
From Minitab output, the first quartile is 98.00 and third quartile is 114.00.
Substitute 114.00 for
The interquartile range is,
Substitute IQR in the
The
Justification:
The stemplot showing that there are two low IQ’s. They are 72 and 74but for the small data, the IQ test scores of 31 seventh-grade girls is approximately normal.

Answer to Problem 7.59SE
The mean
The proportions of the scores are within 1 standard deviation of the mean, which is 0.742.
The proportions of the scores are within 2 standard deviation of the mean, which is 0.935.
If the distribution is exactly normal, then its proportion should be about 68% of the observations fall within
Explanation of Solution
If the proportions be in an exactly normal distribution then it is,
About 68% of the observations fall within
About 95% of the observations fall within
About 99.7% of the observations fall within
Calculation:
For Mean and Standard deviation:
Software procedure:
Step-by-step software procedure for mean and standard deviation in MINITAB software is as follows:
- Choose Stat > Basic Statistics > Display Descriptive Statistics.
- In Variables enter the columns IQ Test Scores.
- Choose option statistics, and select mean, standard deviation.
- Click OK.
Output using MINITAB software is as follows:
From Minitab output, the mean is 105.84 and standard deviation is 14.27.
The scores are within1 standard deviation and within 2 standard deviations of the mean that are obtained by finding
Substitute 105.84 for x and 14.27 for s,
For proportion of scores within 1 standard deviation:
The IQ test scores in between
The formula to find the proportion of scores within 1 standard deviation is,
Substitute 23 for ‘Number of IQ test scores in between
Thus, the proportion of scores within 1 standard deviation is 0.742.
For proportion of scores within 2 standard deviations:
The IQ test scores in between
The formula to find the proportion of scores within 2 standard deviations is,
Substitute 29 for ‘Number of IQ test scores in between
Thus, the proportion of scores within 2 standard deviations is 0.935.
Justification:
If the distribution is exactly normal, then it should satisfy about 68% of the observations fall within
Here, the proportion of scores within 1 standard deviation is 74.2% and the proportion of scores within 2 standard deviations is 93.5%. Thus, the proportions of scores are reasonably close to the proportion of exactly normal distribution.
