The interquartile range is the third quartile minus the first quartile. So we find • IQR=86−56=30 • So a value is an outlier if it is less than • Q1−1.5⋅IQR=56−(1.5)(30)=11 • or greater than • Q3+1.5⋅IQR=86+(1.5)(30)=131 • So we see that 1 is an outlier. A data set lists the number of hours each student, from a finance class, studied for a midterm. For this data set, the minimum is 3, the median is 6, the third quartile is 9, the interquartile range is 5, and the maximum is 17. Construct a box-and-whisker plot that shows the number of hours studied. Begin by first placing the middle dot on the median. Then work on placing the rest of the points starting with the ones closest to the median. Remember that the interquartile range is the third quartile minus the first quartile. Since we know the third quartile is 9, and the interquartile range is 5, we find that the first quartile must be 9−5=4. A data set lists the number of hours waiters worked at a restaurant every Friday during the last year. For this data set, the minimum is 1, the median is 5, the third quartile is 8, the interquartile range is 4, and the maximum is 17.

Donation Amount ($) Frequency 1 1 5 5 10 3 15 1 600 1 Is the median a reasonably good measure of central tendency for this dataset? What if the outlier were removed from consideration? ________________________________________ Select the correct answer below: ________________________________________ The median is a good measure regardless of whether the outlier is included. The median is a very poor measure regardless of whether the outlier is included. The median is a good measure when the outlier is included, but it would be a very poor measure if the outlier were removed from consideration. The median is a very poor measure when the outlier is included, but it would be a good measure if the outlier were removed from consideration. The data value 600 is significantly greater than the other data values in the dataset, so 600 is the outlier. The median is the middle value in the ordered dataset (or, for an odd number of data values, the average of the middle two data values). When the outlier is included, the middle value is the sixth data value in the ordered dataset, which is 5. When the outlier is removed, there are ten data values and the middle two data values are both 5, so the median is 5. In both cases, the number of data values greater than or equal to the median is close to the number of data values less than or equal to the median, so the median is a reasonably good measure of central tendency for the dataset. The following dataset represents the math test scores for a class of 20 students. 90, 60, 85, 100, 100, 90, 100, 75, 100, 95, 95, 85, 30, 100, 40, 15, 100, 90, 70, 80 Identify the best measure of central tendency for this dataset. ________________________________________ Select the correct answer below: ________________________________________ the mode, 100 the mean, 80 the median, 95 the median, 90The mean is 80, but there are 13 data values above the mean compared to 6 data values below the mean, so it is not a good measure of central tendency.

Yes, since this dataset contains no outliers. No, since there are many more data values below the mode than above. No, since there are many more data values above the mode than below. No, since this dataset does not have a well-defined, unique mode. No, since this dataset contains no outliers. No, since there are many more data values below the mode than above. The mode is the data value that appears most often. In this case, the mode is 100. Since 100 appears six times in the dataset and all other values appear fewer than six times. There are 14 data values below the mode and 0 data values above the mode. Since there are many more data values below the mode than above, the mode would not be a good measure of central tendency.

In one of its reviews, it tested 2 types of batteries and claimed that the batteries from company A outperformed batteries from company B in 108 of the tests. There were 200 tests. Company B decided to sue the magazine, claiming that the results were not significantly different from 50% and that the magazine was slandering its good name. A candidate in an election lost by 5.8% of the vote. The candidate sued the state and said that more than 5.8% of the ballots were defective and not counted by the voting machine, so a full recount would need to be done. His opponent wanted to ask for the case to be dismissed, so she had a government official from the state randomly select 500 ballots and count how many were defective. The official found 21 defective ballots. A researcher claims that the incidence of a certain type of cancer is < 5%.

What is β, the probability of a Type II error in this scenario? the probability that the sporting goods store thinks that less than 70% of its customers do not shop at any other sporting goods stores when, in fact, less than 70% of its customers do not shop at any other sporting goods stores the probability that the sporting goods store thinks that at least 70% of its customers do not shop at any other sporting goods stores when, in fact, at least 70% of its customers do not shop at any other sporting goods stores the probability that the sporting goods store thinks that less than 70% of its customers do not shop at any other sporting goods stores when, in fact, at least 70% of its customers do not shop at any other sporting goods stores the probability that the sporting goods store thinks that at least 70% of its customers do not shop at any other sporting goods stores when, in fact, less than 70% of its customers do not shop at any other sporting goods stores Determine the Type II error if the null hypothesis, H0, is: the mean price of a loaf of bread is $1.67. ________________________________________ Select the correct answer below: ________________________________________ You think the mean price of a loaf of bread is $1.67 when, in fact, it is. You think the mean price of a loaf of bread is not $1.67 when, in fact, it is. You think the mean price of a loaf of bread is not $1.67 when, in fact, it is not. You think the mean price of a loaf of bread is $1.67 when, in fact, it is not. Which of the following results in a null hypothesis μ≥31 and alternative hypothesis μ<31? ________________________________________ Select the correct answer below: ________________________________________ A hospital claims that the mean wait time for emergency room patients is at most 31 minutes. A group of researchers think this is inaccurate and wants to show that the mean wait time is more than 31 minutes. A hospital claims that the mean wait time for emergency room patients is more than 31 minutes. A group of researchers think this is inaccurate and wants to show that the mean wait time is less than 31 minutes. A hospital claims that the mean wait time for emergency room patients is at least 31 minutes. A group of researchers think this is inaccurate and wants to show that the mean wait time is less than 31 minutes. A hospital claims that the mean wait time for emergency room patients is 31 minutes. A group of researchers think this is inaccurate and wants to show that the mean wait time is not 31 minutes. Which of the following results in a null hypothesis μ≤7 and alternative hypothesis μ>7? ________________________________________ Select the correct answer below: ________________________________________ A study wants to show that the mean number of hours of sleep the average person gets each day is at least 7. A study wants to show that the mean number of hours of sleep the average person gets each day is 7. A study wants to show that the mean number of hours of sleep the average person gets each day is more than 7. A study wants to show that the mean number of hours of sleep the average person gets each day is at most 7. A commonly cited study says that 49% of students study less than 5 hours per week. A researcher does not think this is accurate and wants to show that the percentage of students that study less than 5 hours per week is not equal to 49%. Identify the null hypothesis, H0, and the alternative hypothesis, Ha, in terms of the parameter p. ________________________________________ Select the correct answer below: ________________________________________ H0: p≠0.49; Ha: p=0.49 H0: p≥0.49; Ha: p<0.49 H0: p=0.49; Ha: p≠0.49 H0: p≤0.49; Ha: p>0.49 Horace, a golfer, claims that his drive distance is less than 225 meters, on average. Several of his friends do not believe him, so he decides to do a hypothesis test, at a 10% significance level, to persuade them. He hits 23 drives. The mean distance of the sample drives is 210 meters. Horace knows from experience that the standard deviation for his drive distance is 14meters. H0: μ≥225; Ha: μ<225 α=0.1 (significance level) What is the test statistic (z-score) of this one-mean hypothesis test, rounded to two decimal places? ________________________________________ What is the test statistic (z-score) of this one-mean hypothesis test, rounded to two decimal places? ________________________________________ [Show Less]
