#5. To qualify for Mensa, one needs to have an IQ that is in the top 2% of people
#6. Comparing z-score allows for a unitless comparison of the # of standard deviations. This allows us to have a standard basis for comparison.
# inch man: z = -0.87
62-inch woman: z = -0.55
The 62-inch woman is relatively taller than the 67-inch man
#14. Ted Williams: z=3.82
Magglio Ordonez: z = 2.86
Ted Williams had the better year relative to his peers

#16. Within 2 s.d. (+/2)
z = -2 = (x-8)/ z = 2 = (x-8)/0.05
x = x = 8.1
Any bolts less than 7.9 cm or greater than 8.1 cm in length will be destroyed.
#19 a.) (answers vary)
b.) IQR = crimes / 100,000
This means that the middle 50% of all observations have a range of crimes / 100,000
c.) LF = UF =
Since 1,459 is above the upper fence, the Washington DC crime rate is an outlier.

#21. a.) z = -1.70
The 1971 rainfall amount is 1.70 standard deviations below the mean
b.) Q1=2.625 inches, Q2 = M = inches
Q3 = 5.36 inches
c.) IQR = inches
The range of the middle 50% of the observations of Chicago rainfall in April is inches
d.) LF = inches UF = inches
There are no outliers
#23. a.) Q1 = -.02 Q2 = Q3 = 0.095
b.) LF = UF =
The return 0.47 is an outlier because it is great than the UF

#28.) a.) LF = -$28.5 UF = $103.5
$115 and $1,000 are outliers because they are both greater than the Upper Fence
b.)

7. Warm-up Type 1 Writing / 3 lines or more – 2 minutes
How many quartiles are there?
What do Q1, Q2, Q3 represent?
What is Q4?
What do you think the 5-number summary means?

8. We need the maximum and minimum to determine if outliers exist.
Remember Q1, Q2, Q3 are “resistant” to extreme values. It does not give us any information about outliers.
We need the maximum and minimum to determine if outliers exist.
These 5 combined make up the 5-number summary

10. EXAMPLE Finding the Five Number Summary
Find the five number summary for the employment ratio data from Section 3.4.

13. Steps for Drawing a Boxplot
Step 1: Determine the lower and upper fence: Lower Fence = Q (IQR)
Upper Fence = Q (IQR)

14. Steps for Drawing a Boxplot
Step 1: Determine the lower and upper fence: Lower Fence = Q (IQR)
Upper Fence = Q (IQR)
Step 2: Draw vertical lines at Q1, M, and Q3. Enclose these vertical lines in a box.

15. Steps for Drawing a Boxplot
Step 1: Determine the lower and upper fence: Lower Fence = Q (IQR)
Upper Fence = Q (IQR)
Step 2: Draw vertical lines at Q1, M, and Q3. Enclose these vertical lines in a box.
Step 3: Label the lower and upper fence.

16. Steps for Drawing a Boxplot
Step 1: Determine the lower and upper fence: Lower Fence = Q (IQR)
Upper Fence = Q (IQR)
Step 2: Draw vertical lines at Q1, M, and Q3. Enclose these vertical lines in a box.
Step 3: Label the lower and upper fence.
Step 4: Draw a line from Q1 to the smallest data value that is larger than the lower fence. Draw a line from Q3 to the largest data value that is smaller than the upper fence.

17. Steps for Drawing a Boxplot
Step 1: Determine the lower and upper fence: Lower Fence = Q (IQR)
Upper Fence = Q (IQR)
Step 2: Draw vertical lines at Q1, M, and Q3. Enclose these vertical lines in a box.
Step 3: Label the lower and upper fence.
Step 4: Draw a line from Q1 to the smallest data value that is larger than the lower fence. Draw a line from Q3 to the largest data value that is smaller than the upper fence.
Step 5: Any data values less than the lower fence or greater than the upper fence are outliers and are marked with an asterisk (*).

18. EXAMPLE Drawing a Boxplot
Draw a boxplot for the employment ratio data.

19. Distribution Shape Based Upon Boxplot
1. If the median is near the center of the box and each of the horizontal lines are approximately equal length, then the distribution is roughly symmetric.
2. If the median is left of the center of the box and/or the right line is substantially longer than the left line, the distribution is right skewed.
3. If the median is right of the center of the box and/or the left line is substantially longer than the right line, the distribution is left skewed
