40. Chp 6 Vocabulary
1. z-score : a standardized value used to compare or combine the values of different variables even if the values of the variables have different units
𝑧= 𝑦− 𝑦 𝑠
Where: y is an observed value from the data,
𝑦 is the mean of the data, and
s is the standard deviation of the data.

41. Chp 6 Vocabulary
2. Shifting : Adding a constant to each data value adds the same constant to the mean, the median, and the quartiles, but does not change the standard deviation or IQR

42. Chp 6 Vocabulary
3. Rescaling : Multiplying each data value by a constant multiplies both the measures of position (mean, median, and the quartiles) and the measures of spread (standard deviation and IQR) by that constant

43. Chp 6 Vocabulary
4. Normal Model – used to describe data that is unimodal and symmetric distributions
Parameters for the Normal model are:
µ - the mean of the model
σ – the standard deviation of the model
written: N(µ, σ)
NOTE: This model is used when the distribution is “NEARLY NORMAL”

44. Chp 6 Vocabulary
4. Normal Model is a “useful family of models”

45. Chp 6 Vocabulary
5. Standard Normal Model – normal model with µ = and σ = 1

46. Chp 6 Vocabulary
6. 68 – 95 – 99.7 Rule – For the normal model, about 68% of the values fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean, 95% fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean, and 99.7% fall within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

47. Chp 6 Vocabulary
7. Normal percentile – corresponding to a z-score gives the percentage of values in a standard Normal distribution found at that z-score or below.

48. Chp 6 Vocabulary
The Normal model should never be used without first checking to see if the distribution of the data is “Nearly Normal”.
8. Nearly Normal Condition – The shape of the data’s distribution is unimodal and symmetric.
-This is checked by making a histogram or a Normal probability plot.

12&14. Below is a stem-and-leaf display of the number of games played by hockey great Wayne Gretzky during his 20-year career in the NHL.
a) Would you use the median or the mean to describe the center of this distribution? Why?
The distribution of the number of games played per season by Wayne Gretzky is skewed to the left, and has low outliers. The median is more resistant to the skewness and outliers than the mean.

50. Chapter 5 #12&14
12&14. Below is a stem-and-leaf display of the number of games played by hockey great Wayne Gretzky during his 20-year career in the NHL.
b) Find the median.
The median, or middle of the ordered list, is 79 games. Both the 10th and 11th values are 79, so the median is the average of these two, also 79.

c) Without actually finding the mean, would you expect it to be higher or lower than the median? Explain.
The mean should be lower. There are two seasons when Gretzky played an unusually low number of games. Those seasons will pull the mean down.

12&14. Below is a stem-and-leaf display of the number of games played by hockey great Wayne Gretzky during his 20-year career in the NHL.
f) Using the Outlier Rule, explain why the two seasons when Gretzky played only 45 and 48 games could be considered outliers.
Lower Fence: 𝑄 1 – 1.5(IQR)
= 73.5 – 1.5(6.5)
= 73.5 – 9.75
= 63.75
Both the 45 game season and the 48 game season are well below the fence, so they could be considered outliers.

The 64 game season is very close to the lower fence of Technically it is not outside the fence, so it isn’t an outlier.

d) Write a brief comparison of the ozone levels in January and June.
January had a slightly lower median ozone level than June, 340 and 350, respectively. (Compares centers)
However, June’s ozone levels were much more consistent, since June’s IQR is smaller than January.
(Compares spread)
June had an upper and lower outlier, but January didn’t have any outliers. However, even with the outliers, June is more consistent. (Compares Unusual Features)

38. In an experiment to determine whether seeding clouds with silver iodide increases rainfall, 52 clouds were randomly assigned to be seeded or not. The amount of rain they generated was then measured (in acre-feet).
a) Which of the summary statistics are most appropriate for describing these distributions. Why?
Median and IQR, as well as the quartiles are the appropriate summary statistics, since the distribution of amount of rain produced is either skewed to the right or has high outliers. Indication of skewness and outliers can be seen in the comparison of median and mean. The mean amount of rain produced is significantly higher than the median
for both seeded and unseeded clouds. Skewness or outliers
pulled up the sensitive mean.

63. Chapter 5 #38
38. In an experiment to determine whether seeding clouds with silver iodide increases rainfall, 52 clouds were randomly assigned to be seeded or not. The amount of rain they generated was then measured (in acre-feet).
b) Do you see any evidence that seeding clouds may be effective? Explain.
There is evidence that the seeded clouds produced more rain. The median and both quartiles are higher than the corresponding statistics for unseeded clouds. In fact, the median amount of rainfall for seeded clouds is acre-feet, about 5 times the median amount for unseeded clouds.

2. A specialty foods company sells “gourmet hams” by mail order. The hams vary in size from 4.15 to 7.45 pounds, with a mean weight of 6 pounds and a standard deviation of 0.65 pounds. The quartiles and median weights are 5.6, 6.2, and 6.55 pounds.
b) Do you think the distribution of the weights is symmetric or skewed? If skewed, which way? Why?
The distribution of weights of hams is only slightly skewed to the left because the mean is only 0.2 pounds lower than the median. Note that the first quartile is also slightly farther from the median than the third quartile. OR
The distribution of weights of hams is roughly symmetry because the mean is close to the median (only 0.2 pounds lower). Note that the first quartile is also slightly farther from the median than the third quartile.

d) When the company ships these hams, the box and packing materials add 30 ounces. What are the mean, standard deviation, quartiles, median, IQR, and range of weights of boxes shipped (in ounces)?
Measures of position increase by 30 ounces.
First Quartile = oz Median = oz.
Third Quartile = oz. Mean = 126 oz.
Measures of spread remain the same.
Range = 52.8 oz. IQR = 15.2 oz. Standard Deviation = 10.4 oz.

e) One customer made a special order of a 10-pound ham. Which of the summary statistics of part d might not change if that data value were added to the distribution?
If a 10-pound ham were added to the distribution, the mean would change, since the total weight of all the hams would increase. The standard deviation would also increase, since 10 pounds is far away from the mean. The overall spread of the distribution would increase. The range would increase, since 10 pounds would be the new maximum. The median, quartiles, and IQR may not change. These measures are summaries of the middle 50% of the distribution, and are resistant to the presence of outliers, like the 10-pound ham.

3. Each year thousands of high school students take either the SAT or the ACT, standardized tests used in the college admissions process. Combined SAT Math and Verbal scores go as high as 1600, while the maximum ACT composite score is 36. Since the two exams use very different scales, comparisons of performance are difficult. A convenient rule of thumb is SAT = 40 x ACT + 150; that is multiply an ACT score by 40 and add 150 points to estimate the equivalent SAT score. An admissions officer reported the following statistics about the ACT scores of 2355 students who applied to her college one year.
Remember: Scaling (multiplying by a constant) affects all stats
Shifting (adding a constant) does not affect measures of spread
