  1. Since Sirius XM is a stock, it is an element.
  2. Another name for the variable Exchange would be Market.

YOUR TURN #3

Section 1.2, page 10

  1. Because the number of medals won is finite, the variable number of medals won is discrete.
  2. Because the time to run a 100-meter dash can take on an infinite number of values, the variable racing time in the 100-meter dash is continuous.

YOUR TURN #4

Section 1.2, page 11

  1. Exchange represents nominal data, because the data cannot be ordered in a natural or obvious way. Also, no arithmetic can be performed on exchange.
  2. Last price represents ratio data. Here division makes sense. A last price of $20 is twice a last price of $10.

YOUR TURN #5

Section 1.2, page 13

  1. Since Florida has more than 3 counties, this represents a sample.
  2. Since we are talking about all of the counties in Florida, this represents a population.

YOUR TURN #6

Section 1.2, page 13

  1. Since this represents a sample, the most expensive hotel in the 3 counties represents a statistic.
  2. Since this represents a population, the most expensive hotel in Florida represents a parameter.

YOUR TURN #7

Section 1.2, page 15

  1. The average grade on the first quiz is a descriptive statistic, since the average grade is only for your class. However, no inference is made regarding a larger population.
  2. Jessica won 2 out of 10 games of ping pong to her friend Lu Li. Therefore she won (2/10)·100%=20% of her ping pong games to Lu Li. This represents a statistic. She then used this statistic to perform statistical inference to conclude that she will only win 20% of her games of ping pong to Lu Li.

Chapter 3

YOUR TURN #1

Section 3.1, page 109

Mean number of tropical storms =

10+15+16+9+19+19+19+148=15.125

The population mean number of tropical storms is 15.125 storms.

YOUR TURN #2

Section 3.1, page 110

Page A-4

YOUR TURN #3

Section 3.1, page 115

The sample consists of the number of tropical storms in the years 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2012: 10, 16, 19, 19

The mean is ˉx=xn=10+16+19+174=16.

The data set is already in ascending order.

Because n=4 is even, the median is the mean of the two data values that lie on either side of the (n+12)th=(4+12)th=2.5th position. That is, the median is the mean of the 2nd and 3rd data values, 16 and 19. Splitting the difference between these two, we get median number of tropical storms =16+192=17.5 storms.

Since 19 storms appears two times and no other number appears more than once, the mode is 19.

  3. rangeDarts=largest value- smallest value=72.9-11.2=61.7rangeDJIA=largest value- smallest value=17.7-15.8=1.9

As we expected, the range for Darts is indeed larger than the range for DJIA.

YOUR TURN #5

  1. μ=xN=7.8+1.9+14.9+1.5+2.7+1.66=$5.07billion
  2. x x-μ (x-μ)2
    7.8 7.8-5.07=2.73 7.4529

    1.6 1.6-5.07=-3.47 12.0409
    (x-μ)2=144.5334

From the table, (x-μ)2=144.5334

σ2=(x-μ)26=144.53346=24.0889

YOUR TURN #6

Section 3.2, page 132

From Your Turn #5 on p. 131, the population variance is σ2=24.0889. Therefore the population standard deviation is

σ=σ2=24.0889=4.9080

YOUR TURN #7

Section 3.2, page 134

From Table 14 on p. 130, the CDC provided $1.9 million to Maine, $1.5 to New Hampshire, and $1.6 million to Vermont to fight HIV/AIDS. Therefore our sample data is: $1.9 million, $1.5 million, $1.6 million

  1. Smaller. The sample contains the 3 smallest numbers in the population.
  2. First we need to find the sample mean.

    ˉx=xn=1.5+1.9+1.63=$1.67million

    x x-ˉx (x-ˉx)2
    1.5 1.5-1.67=-0.17 0.0289
    1.9 1.9-1.67=0.23 0.0529
    1.6 1.6-1.67=-0.07 0.0049
    (x-ˉx)2=0.0867

    From the table, (x-ˉx)2=0.0867. Therefore the sample variance is s=(x-x)2n-1=0.08673-1=0.04335 billion of dollars squared.

  3. From Problem 2 the sample variance is s2=0.04335 billion of dollars squared. Therefore the sample standard deviation is s=s2=0.04335=$0.2082billion.
  4. For this sample of CDC funding to fight HIV/AIDS in the northeastern United States, the typical difference between a state's funding and the mean funding is $0.2082 billion.

YOUR TURN #8

Section 3.2, page 137

  1. μ-1σ=70-1·5=65 mph and m μ+1σ=70+1·5=75 mph Therefore the percentage of vehicle speeds that lie between 65 mph and 75 mph is the percentage of vehicle speeds that lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean. Thus, from the Empirical Rule, approximately 68% of vehicle speeds lie between 65 mph and 75 mph.
  2. From Problem 1, 65 mph lies 1 standard deviation below the mean. Therefore the Empirical Rule tells us that 12(100%-68%)=16% of all vehicle speeds are at most 65 mph.

YOUR TURN #9

Section 3.2, page 139

Since μ-2σ=130-2·10=110 and μ+2σ=130+2·10=150. Therefore Chebyshev's Rule tells us that at least (1-1k2)100%=(1-122)100%=(34)100%=75% of the systolic blood pressure readings will lie between 110 and 150.

YOUR TURN #10

Section 3.3, page 149

The data values are 90, 70, and 85. The weights are 50, 20, and 30. The course weighted mean is then calculated as follows:

ˉx=(w·x)w=(50)(90)+(20)(70)+(30)(85)50+20+30=8450100=84.5

  2. The amount Brian spent on music downloads is x=$16.

    Thez-score=datavalue-meanstandard deviation=x-μσ=16-9640=-2.

  3. The amount Courtney spent on gifts for her friends is x=$256.

    Thez-score=datavalue-meanstandard deviation=x-μσ=256-9640=4.

Page A-5

YOUR TURN #12

Section 3.4, page 157

  1. David's z-score was −1.5. Therefore he spent

    x=z-score·σ+μ=(-1.5)·($40)+$96=$36

  2. Emily's z-score was 2.5. Therefore she spent

    x=z-score·σ+μ=(2.5)·($40)+$96=$196

  3. Frances's z-score was 0. Therefore she spent

    x=z-score·σ+μ=(0)·($40)+$96=$96

YOUR TURN #13

Section 3.4, page 158

Gisele used a tablet. Note here that we have population values, with μ=$85 and σ=$40. The amount Gisele spent on an online holiday shopping order is x=$120.

Thez-score=datavalue-meanstandarddeviation=x-μσ=120-9640=0.6.

Hong used a cell phone. Note here that we have population values, with μ=$85 and σ=$40. The amount Hong spent on an online holiday shopping order is x=$120.

Thez-score=datavalue-meanstandarddeviation=x-μσ=120-8540=0.875.

Since the z-score for Hong is larger than the z-score for Gisele, Hong spent more relative to his group.

YOUR TURN #14

Section 3.4, page 159

  1. Austin's z-score is 1, which lies in the range, −2 , z-score < 2. Therefore the amount Austin spent on video games is not considered unusual.
  2. Brian's z-score is −2, which lies in the range, −3 , z-score ≤ −2. Therefore the amount Brian spent on music downloads may be considered moderately unusual.
  3. Courtney's z-score is 4, which is ≥3. Therefore the amount Courtney spent on gifts for her friends may be considered an outlier.

YOUR TURN #15

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Rating 1.9 2.5 3.6 4.2 5.4 5.7 7.1 8.7 9.3

Since there are 9 numbers, n=9. Since we want the number corresponding to the 20th percentile, p=20. Thus i=(P100)n=(20100)9=1.8.

Here, i is not an integer, so round i up to 2. The 20th percentile is the number in position 2, which is 2.5. Thus, the 20th percentile is 2.5.

YOUR TURN #16

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Rating 1.9 2.5 3.6 4.2 5.4 5.7 7.1 8.7 9.3

Here, x=0.9. Eight of the movies have a ranking of 9.0 or below, so the percentile rank of a movie with a rating of 9.0 or below is

Percentile rank of data value (x=9.0)=

numberof values in data set9.0total number of values is data set·100%=89·100%=89%.

Thus a rating of 9 represents the 89th percentile of movie ratings.

YOUR TURN #17

Section 3.4, page 164

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Rating 1.9 2.5 3.6 4.2 5.4 5.7 7.1 8.7 9.3

Here, n=9. To find Q1, plug p=25 into i=(P100)n, where n=9. We get i=(p100)n=(25100)9=2.25. Here, i is not an integer so round i up to 3. The 25th percentile is the number in position 3, which is 3.6. Thus Q1, the 25th percentile, is 3.6.

To find Q2 = the median, plug p=50 into i=(p100)n, where n=9. We get i=(p100)n=(50100)9=4.5. Here, i is not an integer so round i up to 5. The 50th percentile is the number in position 5, which is 5.4. Thus Q2 = the median, the 50th percentile, is 5.4.

To find Q3, plug p=75 into i=(p100)n, where n=9. We get i=(p100)n=(75100)9=6.75. Here, i is not an integer so round i up to 7. The 75th percentile is the number in position 7, which is 7.1. Thus Q3, the 75th percentile, is 7.1.

YOUR TURN #18

Section 3.4, page 166

From Your Turn #17 on p. 164, Q1=3.6 and Q3=7.1. Thus IQR=Q3-Q1=7.1-3.6=3.5.

YOUR TURN #19

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Rating 1.9 2.5 3.6 4.2 5.4 5.7 7.1 8.7 9.3

From Your Turn #17, p. 164,Q1=3.6, the median=Q2=5.4, and Q3=7.1. From the table, the minimum is 1.9 and the maximum is 9.3. Thus, the five-number summary is:

  1. Minimum = 1.9
  2. First quartile, Q1 = 3.6
  3. Median = Q2 = 5.4
  4. Third quartile, Q3 = 7.1
  5. Maximum = 9.3

YOUR TURN #20

Section 3.5, page 175

From Your Turn #19 on p. 172, the five-number summary is:

  1. Minimum = 1.9
  2. First quartile, Q1 = 3.6
  3. Median = Q2 = 5.4
  4. Third quartile, Q3 = 7.1
  5. Maximum = 9.3

The IQR=Q3-Q1=7.1-3.6=3.5.

The lower fence =Q1-1.5(IQR)=3.6-1.5(3.5)=-1.65.

The upper fence =Q3+1.5(IQR)=7.1+1.5(3.5)=12.35.

Page A-6

YOUR TURN #21

Section 3.5, page 178

From Your Turn # 20 on p. 175:

The lower fence =Q1-1.5(IQR)=3.6-1.5(3.5)=-1.65.

The upper fence =Q3+1.5(IQR)=7.1+1.5(3.5)=-12.35.

Thus, for this data set, a data value would be an outlier if it is −1.65 or less or 12.35 or more. Since none of the data values are −1.65 or less or 12.35 or more there are no outliers in this data set.

Chapter 4

YOUR TURN #1

Section 4.1, page 189

Because the response variable depends on the predictor variable, and because the grade on an exam depends in part on the number of hours spent studying for the exam, the number of hours spent studying for the exam is the predictor (x) variable and the grade on the exam is the response (y) variable.

YOUR TURN #2

Section 4.1, page 190

  1. Because the response variable depends on the predictor variable, and because the weight of a person depends in part on the height of the person, height is the predictor (x) variable and weight is the response (y) variable.

Section 4.1, page 192

Height and weight have a positive linear relationship.

YOUR TURN #4

Section 4.1, page 194

YOUR TURN #5

Section 4.1, page 198

From Your Turn #4, p. 194, r0.4451. Since r is positive, we would therefore say that height and weight are positively correlated. As height increases, weight also tends to increase.

YOUR TURN #8

Section 4.2, page 213

In Your Turn #7 (page 211), we calculated the regression equation to be ˆy=3.6076x-105.2723. Therefore, for a woman who is x=63.5 inches tall, her estimated weight is ˆy=3.6076x-105.2723=3.6076(63.5)-105.2723=123.8103 pounds.

YOUR TURN #9

Section 4.2, page 215

In Your Turn #8 (page 213), the estimated weight for a woman who is x=63.5 inches tall is ˆy=123.8103 pounds. From Table 2 on page 190, the actual weight of the woman who is x=63.5 inches tall is y=113.8 pounds. Therefore the prediction error is y-ˆy=113.8-123.8103=-10.0103 pounds. Since the prediction error is negative, her actual weight lies below the regression line.

Page A-7

YOUR TURN #10

Section 4.2, page 216

From Table 2, the smallest value of x is 61.3 inches and the largest is 66.9 inches, so estimates for any value of x between 61.3 inches and 66.9 inches, inclusive, would not represent extrapolation.

Here we seek P(On Campus or Off Campus). Of the 19,375 students at the university, 2608 live on campus and 9911 live off campus. Thus P(On Campus)=260819,375 and P(Off Campus)=991119,375. Since no one is living both on campus and off campus at the same time, the events On Campus and Off Campus are mutually exclusive. From the Addition Rule for Mutually Exclusive Events, P(On Campus or Off Campus)=P(On Campus)+P(Off Campus)=2,60819,735+9,91119,735=12,51919,735

Define the following events:

Then P(F)=16. Since the second toss of the die is not affected by the first toss of the die, F and D are independent. Therefore P(D|F)=P(D)=16. Using the Multiplication Rule we have P(FandD)=P(F)·P(D|F)=P(F)·P(D)=(16)·(16)=136.

All of the probabilities P(X) are between 0 and 1. However, the sum of the probabilities is P(X)=0.25+0.30+0.30+0.20=1.05, which is not equal to 1. Therefore this is not a valid discrete probability distribution.

Section 7.1, page 403

We want to find P(x̄<75).

image

From Example 5, μx=μ=70 page likes and σx=σn=1025=2 page likes.

Therefore P(x̄<75)=P(x̄-μσx̄<75-μσx̄)=P(x̄-μσ/n<75-μσ/n)=P(x̄-7010/25<75-7010/25)=P(x̄-702<75-702)=P(Z<2.5)=0.9938

image

YOUR TURN #3

Section 7.1, page 405

From Example 5, μx̄=μ=70 page likes and σx̄=σn=1025=2 page likes. We want the 2.5th percentile, so we look for 0.0250 on the inside of the Z table. Working backward from 0.0250 we find that Z=-1.96. Thus x̄=Z·σx̄+μ=(-1.96)(2)+70=66.08.

YOUR TURN #4

Section 7.1, page 406

From Example 7, μx̄=20 and σx̄=1. We want to find P(x̄<18.5).

Standardizing, we get

Z=18.5-201=-1.50.

Therefore P(x̄<18.5)=P(Z<-1.50)=0.0668.

YOUR TURN #5

Section 7.1, page 407

From Example 7, μx̄=20 and σx̄=1. We want the middle 90% of the sample means, so we will use our calculators to find the sample mean x̄1 with 5% to the left of it and the sample mean x̄2 with 95% to the left of it. The calculator gives us x̄118.36 mpg and x̄2=21.64 mpg.

From Example 11, p=0.08. n=400. Then μp^=p=0.08 and σp^=p·qn=0.08·(1-0.08)400=0.0001840.01356.

YOUR TURN #8

Section 7.2, page 420

We want to find P(p^<0.04). From Example 13, p=0.043. From Example 13 (a) the minimum sample size required to produce a sampling distribution of p^ that is approximately normal is 117 vehicles. Since n=225 vehicles is greater than 117 vehicles, the sampling distribution of p^ is approximately normal. Then μp^=p=0.043 and

σp^=p·qn=0.043·(1-0.043)2250.00018289333330.01352.

image

Notice from the graph that if we use technology to find P(p^<0.04)

P(p^<0.04)=0.4122.

We standardize as follows:

Z=0.04-μp^σp^=0.04-0.0430.01352-0.22

Then P(p^<0.04)=P(Z<-0.22)=0.4129.

image

YOUR TURN #9

Section 7.2, page 421

From Example 13, μp^=0.043 and σp^=0.01875. The middle 90% lies between the 5th and the 95th percentile. Using the calculator we get the 5th percentile ≈ 0.01216 and the 95th percentile ≈ 0.07384. Therefore the middle 90% lies between 0.01216 and 0.07384.

Because the population is normal and the population standard deviation σ is known, the requirements for the Z interval are met:

lowerbound=x̄-Zα/2(σ/n)upperbound=x̄+Zα/2(σ/n)

We are given x̄=510,σ=118, and n=25. From Table 1, we have Zα/2=1.96. Thus,

lowerbound=510-1.96(118/25)=463.74

upperbound=510+1.96(118/25)=556.26

Thus we are 95% confident that the population mean score on the 2014 Mathematics SAT test lies between 463.74 and 556.26.

YOUR TURN #5

Section 8.1, page 434

The formula for the confidence interval is given by

lowerbound=x̄-Zα/2(σ/n)

upperbound=x̄+Zα/2(σ/n)

We are given x̄=20.71,σ=5.637, and n=100. From Table 1, we have Za/2=2.576. Plugging into the formula:

lowerbound=20.71-2.576(5.637/100)20.71-1.45=19.26

upperbound=20.71+2.576(5.637/100)20.71+1.45=22.16

We are 99% confident that μ, the population mean city MPG for all motor vehicles, lies between 19.26 mpg and 22.16 mpg.

YOUR TURN #6

Section 8.1, page 441

“Within $100” means that the margin of error E is $100, and 1.96 is the value associated with 95% confidence. Substituting into the formula for sample size we get:

n=(Zα/2·σE)=(1.96·$5000$100)2=9604

YOUR TURN #7

Section 8.2, page 451

First we need to find our degrees of freedom, df=n-1=20-1=19. Then, using the table for a 90% confidence interval, tα/2=1.729.

YOUR TURN #8

Section 8.2, page 452

YOUR TURN #9

Section 8.2, page 453

The value of tα/2 for 95% confidence and 15 degrees of freedom is 2.131. A 95% confidence interval for μ is given by the interval

lowerbound=x̄-tα/2(s/n),upperbound=x̄+tα/2(s/n)

From Example 14, x̄=185.9,s=56.8, and n=16, From the table, tα/2=2.131. Substituting, we get

lowerbound=185.9-(2.131)(56.8/16)=185.9-30.3=159.6

upperbound=185.9+(2.131)(56.8/16)=185.9+30.3=216.2

We are 95% confident that μ, the population mean sodium content per serving of all breakfast cereals, lies between 155.6 grams and 216.2 grams.

YOUR TURN #10

Section 8.2, page 454

From Your Turn #9, we have:

E=(2.131)(56.8/16)=30.3

The margin of error for mean sodium content is 30.3 grams. We can estimate the population mean sodium content per serving of all breakfast cereals to within 30.3 grams with 95% confidence.

(a) There are x=50 successes, which is ≥ 5 and there are n-x=100-50=50 failures, which is also ≥ 5. The conditions for constructing the Z interval for p have been met.

From Table 1, the confidence level of 95% gives Zα/2=1.96. Thus, the confidence interval is

lowerbound=p^-Zα/2p^·q^n=0.5-1.960.5(0.5)100=0.5-1.96(0.05)=0.5-0.098=0.402upperbound=p^+Zα/2p^·q^n=0.5+1.960.5(0.5)100=0.5+1.96(0.05)=0.5+0.098=0.598

We are 95% confident that the population proportion lies between 0.402 and 0.598.

(b) There are x=90 successes, which is ≥ 5 and there are n-x=160-90=70 failures, which is also ≥ 5. The conditions for constructing the Z interval for p have been met.

From Table 1, the confidence level of 95% gives Zα/2=1.96. Thus, the confidence interval is

lowerbound=p^-Zα/2p^·q^n=0.5625-1.960.5625(0.4375)160=0.5625-1.96(0.0392184387)=0.5625-0.0768681399=0.48563186010.4856upperbound=p^+Zα/2p^·q^n=0.5625+1.960.5625(0.4375)160=0.5625+1.96(0.0392184387)=0.5625+0.0768681399=0.63936813990.6394

From Example 18, our hypotheses are

H0:μ=15versusHa:μ<15.

Our test statistic is tdata=-2.2183 and df = 19.

We have a left-tailed test, which is a one-tailed test. Since the table only has positive values of t, we will look up |tdata|=|-2.2183|=2.2183 in the table.
