4 Standard Deviation WORK >>> 97, 98 Boxplot outlier work >>> 99c and 109 Sep 12-5:28 PM 4.6 ( ) = -.8 (-.8) 2 = ( ) = -.5 (-.5) 2 = ( ) = -.2 (-.2) 2 = ( ) =.2 (.2) 2 = ( ) =.3 (.3) 2 = ( ) = 1.0 (1) 2 = mg is the standard deviation of the data point from the mean. The Phosphate levels in this patient's blood typically vary from the group mean of 5.4 mg by approximately 0.64 mg = /(6-1) = 2.06/5 = = 0.64 mg Sep 3-7:36 PM 4

5 7 (7-8) = -1 (-1) 2 = 1 7 (7-8) = -1 (-1) 2 = 1 9 (9-8) = 1 (1) 2 = 1 9 (9-8) = 1 (1) 2 = 1 b) 1.15 hours is the standard deviation of the data points from the mean. Hours of sleep for the first four student in this class typically vary from the mean of 8 hours by 1.15 hours. 32 = c) I would not use this data for all 30 members of the class. It was not a random sample and 4/(4-1) = 4/3 = the first 4 students perhaps got the most sleep that is why they are early = 1.15 hours Sep 3-7:37 PM a) I would guess that the shape is right skewed. The distance between Q3 and the maximum point is $47.62 where as IMPORTANT the distance between the SKILL minimum and Q1 is much smaller at $ See the graph below for the other quartile distances. b) dollars is the standard deviation. The dollar amount spent on groceries by 50 shoppers typically varies from the mean of $34.70 by $ (Not exactly true in a skewed distribution) c) Q1-1.5(IQR) = ( ) = (26.66) = = no bottom outliers (minimum is 3.11) Q3 +1.5(IQR) = ( ) = (26.66) = = YES top outliers (maximum is 93.34) Sep 3-7:37 PM 5

6 a) I would guess that the female doctors distribution has a more symmetrical shape because the mean X = 19.1 is very close in value to the Med = The male doctors distribution has a much bigger difference in the mean and median. b) The IQRs can be similar (23 vs 19) because the IQR only represents the middle 50% of the data set. The standard deviation is very influenced by the extreme observations so if there is a skew in the data set, which there appears to be for the male doctors distribution the standard deviations of the two distributions could be very different ( vs ). C) It does seem that the male doctors perform more C-sections. This is evident by examining the means and Maximum values of both distributions. The male mean X = per year vs the smaller female mean X = 19.1 per year (this is approximately half). The maximum for the males was 86 C-sections per year and the maximum for the females is much smaller at 33 C-sections per year. Sep 3-7:37 PM Sep 3-7:38 PM 6

7 I believe that variable A will have the biggest standard deviation because it has more data located "away" from its center. Sep 3-7:38 PM D B Sep 3-7:38 PM 7

8 E First I need to find the first and third quartile numbers. 30 data points makes the median between 15 and 16 so Q1 will be position 8 and Q3 will be position 23. Q1 = 117 Q3 = = 56 = IQR IQR(1.5) = 56(1.5) = = 33 (no bottom outliers) = 257 (no top outliers) Sep 3-7:39 PM A Sep 3-7:40 PM 8

9 Women appear to be more likely to engage in behaviors that are indicative of good habits of mind. They are especially more likely to revise papers to improve their writing (about 55% of females report this as opposed to about 37% of males). The difference is a little less for seeking feedback on their work. In that case about 49% of the females did this as opposed to about 38% males. Sep 3-7:40 PM Jan 25-7:36 AM 9

14 This distribution of file sizes is NOT symmetric. It is skewed to the right. The center is approximately at the median 2.45 mb. The spread is from 1.1 to 7.5 mb which is a range of 6.4 mb. There is a gap from 6.22 to 7.5 mb and a potential outlier at 7.5 mb. The data set should be analyzed using the five number summary. 1.9 mb is the standard deviation of the data points from the mean. A file size on Tim's mp3 player typically varies from the mean size of 3.19 megabytes by 1.9 mb. Sep 7-9:07 PM Sep 8-8:19 AM 14

18 R1.1. Hit movies According to the Internet Movie Database, Avatar is tops based on box office sales worldwide. The following table displays data on several popular movies. 47 (a) What individuals does this data set describe? The data set describes a list of Top Hit Movies based on box office income. (b) Clearly identify each of the variables. Which are quantitative? Name of Movie Year of release Rating Time Genre Box office dollars Categorical Categorical (or quantitative?) Categorical Quantitative (minutes) Categorical Quantitative (dollars) (c) Describe the individual in the highlighted row. Feb 2-5:57 PM > (a) What individuals does this data set describe? > (b) Clearly identify each of the variables. Which are quant > (c) Describe the individual in the highlighted row. The movie Avatar is an action film that was released in the year 2009 and rated PG-13. It lasted for 162 minutes and has recorded the most income $2,781,505,847. R1.2. Movie ratings The movie rating system we use today was first established on November 1, Back then, the possible ratings were G, PG, R, and X. In 1984, the PG-13 rating was created. And in 1990, NC-17 replaced the X rating. Here is a summary of the ratings assigned to movies between 1968 and 2000: 8% rated G, 24% rated PG, 10% rated PG-13, 55% rated R, and 3% rated NC Make an appropriate graph for displaying these data. Movie ratings from the years 1968 to 2000 Feb 2-6:06 PM 18

19 R1.3. I d die without my phone! In a survey of over 2000 U.S. teenagers by Harris Interactive, 47% said that their social life would end or be worsened without their cell phone. 49 One survey question asked the teens how important it is for their phone to have certain features. The figure below displays data on the percent who indicated that a particular feature is vital. (a) Explain how the graph gives a misleading impression. The graph uses pictures that are not properly sized. The make and receive calls should only be approximately twice as big as the camera bar but it is clearly over four times bigger (perhaps 9 times bigger). (b) Would it be appropriate to make a pie chart to display these data? Why or why not? It would not be appropriate to make a pie chart for two reasons. The first reason is that the percentages add up to more than 100%, thus indicating the second reason. The bars do not represent parts of one whole group. They are parts of separate groups. (c) Make a graph of the data that isn t misleading. Vital features of cell phones according to a sample of U.S. teenagers. Feb 2-6:08 PM R1.4. Facebook and age Is there a relationship between Facebook use and age among college students? The following two-way table displays data for the 219 students who responded to the survey (a) What percent of the students who responded were Facebook users? Is this percent part of a marginal distribution or a conditional distribution? Explain. What percent of students were Facebook users? 148 = 67.58% This is a marginal distribution because 219 the numerator is a row total and the denominator is the Total total. (b) What percent of the younger students in the sample were Facebook users? What percent of the Facebook users in the sample were younger students? What percent of younger students were Facebook users? 78 = 95.12% 82 What percent of the Facebook users were younger students? 78 = 52.7% 148 The last two questions are conditional distributions. They use a table number divided by a row or column total. Feb 2-6:16 PM 19

20 R1.5. Facebook and age Use the data in the previous exercise to determine whether there is an association between Facebook use and age. Give appropriate graphical and numerical evidence to support your answer. 78 =95% =70% = 31.3% Let's make a segmented bar chart. (A triple bar for each age) 100% 5% 30% = No Facebook percent 50% 95% 68.6% = Facebook 70% 31.3% younger middle older age group of student There does appear to be an association between age and Facebook status. From both the Table A and the graph given above, we can see that as age increases, the percent of Facebook users decreases. For younger students, about 95% are members. That drops to 70% for middle students and drops even further to 31.3% for older students. Feb 2-6:26 PM Density of the earth measurement s b) The distribution of earth density measurements is roughly symmetric. It is bell shaped. The center (mean) of the measurements is 5.45 units. The measurements spread from 4.88 to 5.85 which is a range of approximately 1 unit. There are no deviations from the general pattern. The data should be analyzed using the mean and standard deviation. c) I estimate the earth's density to be approximately 5.45 times the density of water. Sep 7-8:44 PM 20

21 Guinea pig survival times: Here are the survival times in days of 72 guinea pigs after they were injected with infectious bacteria in a medical experiment.52 Survival times, whether of machines under stress or cancer patients after treatment, usually have distributions that are skewed to the right. (a) Make a histogram of the data and describe its main features. Does it show the expected right skew? Guinea pig survival (b) Now make a boxplot of the data. Be sure to check for outliers. Guinea pig survival (c) Which measure of center and spread would you use to summarize the distribution the mean and standard deviation or the median and IQR? Justify your answer. The median and IQR should be used to summarize the distribution because the data is severly skewed to the right and the mean and standard deviation are NON-RESISTANT to the influence of these outliers. Sep 8-7:36 AM R1.8. Household incomes Rich and poor households differ in ways that go beyond income. Following are histograms that compare the distributions of household size (number of people) for low-income and high-income households. Low-income households had annual incomes less than $15,000, and high-income households had annual incomes of at least $100,000. households consisted of two people? Low income households two people size is 20% High income households two people size is 34% What are the important differences between these two distributions? What do you think explains these differences? The first difference is their shape. The low income distribution is skewed to the right. (Most households are only of size 1 person). The high income households distribution is still right skewed but slightly more bell shaped. The center and range of the distributions seem to be approximately equal at 3 persons for mean and 6 persons I believe that the difference in shape is due to the fact that there are more families in the high income distribution and more single people in the low income distribution. Feb 3-3:43 PM 21

22 . Do you like to eat tuna? Many people do. Unfortunately, some of the tuna that people eat may contain high levels of mercury. Exposure to mercury can be especially hazardous for pregnant women and small children. How much mercury is safe to consume? The Food and Drug Administration will take action (like removing the product from store shelves) if the mercury concentration in a sixounce can of tuna is 1.00 ppm (parts per million) or higher. What is the typical mercury concentration in cans of tuna sold in stores? A study conducted by Defenders of Wildlife set out to answer this question. Defenders collected a sample of 164 cans of tuna from stores across the United States. They sent the selected cans to a laboratory that is often used by the Environmental Protection Agency for mercury testing. provide information about the mercury concentration in the sampled cans (in parts per million, ppm). terpret the standard deviation in context ppm is the standard deviation of the sampled cans typically varies from the mean of etermine whether ppm there by are about any outliers. 0.3 ppm. = = )(0.309) = = = Maximum was 1.5 so there is at least one top outlier = = Minimum was no bottom outliers escribe the shape, center, and spread of the distribution. This distribution of mercury in cans is NOT symmetric, it is skewed to the right. The center (median) is at approximately 0.18 ppm. The spread of the distribution is ppm. There are potential outliers at the top values of the data set, and a few small gaps. This data should be analyzed using the five number symmary. Feb 3-3:43 PM R1.10. Mercury Is there a difference in the mercury concentration of light tuna and albacore tuna? Use the parallel boxplots and the computer output to write a few sentences comparing the two distributions. The distribution of light and albacore tuna are different. The Albacore tuna distribution is roughly symmetric. The light tuna distribution is very skewed to the right. The center (mean) of the Albacore tuna distribution is approximately ppm and the center (mean) of the light tuna is lower at approximately ppm. The medians follow this same pattern (0.400 to 0.160ppm). The range of the Albacore tuna is approximately ppm, and the range of the light tuna is much larger at ppm. If you disregard some of the top potential outliers in the light tuna distribution, it seems that the light tuna has a smaller amount of mercury concentration per can than does the Albacore tuna. Feb 3-3:43 PM 22
