Chapter 1: Q. 59. (page 49)

Snickers庐 are fun! Here are the weights (in grams) of 17 Snickers Fun Size bars from a single bag:

17.117.416,617.417.717.117.317.717.8
19.216.015.916.516.816.517.116.7

Part (a). Make a stemplot of these data.

Part (b). What interesting feature does the graph reveal?

Part (c). The advertised weight of a Snickers Fun Size bar is 17 grams. What proportion of candy bars in this sample weigh less than advertised?

Part (b) 19.2 gram

Part (c) 0.4118

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information. 

17.1, 17.4, 16.6, 17.4, 17.7, 17.1, 17.3, 17.7..17.8, 19.2. 16.0. 15.9. 16.5. 16.8. 16.5, 17.1, 16.7

02

Part (a) Step 2. Create a stemplot from these data.

Let us now order the data values from smallest to largest.

15.9, 16, 16.5, 16.5, 16.6, 16.7, 16.8, 17.1, 17.1, 17.1, 17.3, 17.4, 17.4, 17.7, 17.7, 17.8, 19.2

Stemplot:

Make a vertical line.

Place the ones to the left of the vertical line and the tenths of each data value to the right of the vertical line

171 1 1 3 4 4 7 7 8

03

Part (b) Step 1. Interesting feature does the graph reveal 

We notice a gap between 19.2 and the rest of the data values in the stemplot, implying that 19.2 is a possible outlier.

As a results 19.2 gram is a potential outlier

04

Part (c) Step 1. This sample's proportion of candy bars weighs less than advertised.

We notice that seven of the data values are less than seventeen ( more precisely 15.9, 16.0, 16.5, 16.6, 16.7, and 16.8)

717鈮�0.4118

The sample contains 0.4118 candy bars that weigh less than the advertised weight of 117 grams.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Value of a diploma Do students who graduate from high school earn more money than students who do not? To find out, we took a random sample of 371 U.S. residents aged 18 and older. The educational level and total personal income of each person were recorded. The data for the 57 non-graduates (No) and the 314 graduates (Yes) are displayed in the relative frequency histograms.

Part (a). Would it be appropriate to use frequency histograms instead of relative frequency histograms in this setting? Explain why or why not.

Part (b). Compare the distributions of total personal income for the two groups.

Healthy cereal? Researchers collected data on 76 brands of cereal at a local supermarket. 27 For each brand, the sugar content (grams per serving) and the shelf in the store on which the cereal was located (1 = bottom, 2 = middle, 3 = top) were recorded. A dotplot of the data is shown here.

Part (a) Is the variability in sugar content of the cereals on the three shelves similar or different? Justify your answer.

Part (b) Critics claim that supermarkets tend to put sugary cereals where kids can see them. Do the data from this study support this claim? Justify your answer. (Note that Shelf 2 is at about eye level for kids in most supermarkets.)

Protecting woodWhat measures can be taken, especially when restoring historic wooden buildings, to help wood surfaces resist weathering? In a study of this question, researchers prepared wooden panels and then exposed them to the weather. Some of the variables recorded were type of wood (yellow poplar, pine, cedar); type of water repellent (solvent based, water-based); paint thickness (millimeters); paint color (white, gray, light blue); weathering time (months). Classify each variable as categorical or quantitative.

Skyscrapers Here is some information about the tallest buildings in the world as of February 2017. Identify the individuals and variables in this data set. Classify each variable as categorical or quantitative.

Superpower Refer to Exercise 24.

(a) Find the distribution of superpower preference for the students in the sample from each country (i.e., the United States and the United Kingdom). Make a segmented bar graph to compare these distributions.

(b) Describe what the graph in part (a) reveals about the association between country of origin and superpower preference for the students in the sample.
